I would really struggle to narrow the list down to my Top 100 Prog-Rock *albums*, never mind my Top 10 Prog-Rock *songs*, and even naming my Top 10 songs by a single artist isn't an easy task, so I'm afraid it's a Mission Impossible for me. "This post will self-destruct in five seconds"

Oh dear, that's difficult, but I'll give it a try: In no particular order: David Bowie - "Subterraneans" Can - "Halleluwah" Genesis - "The Carpet Crawlers" King Crimson - "Larks' Tongues In Aspic" part 1 Mew - "Hawaii" Mike Oldfield - "Tubular Bells" part 1 Pink Floyd - "Time" Radiohead - "Paranoid Android" Sigur Rós - "Svefn-g-englar" Talking Heads - "Seen And Not Seen" (if it counts) |

Lol, this isn't goin to be anywhere near an accurate list if I include more than one from one artist. I'll keep it to one per artist so I can contribute. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Genesis - Supper's Ready Rush - Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage Yes - South Side Of The Sky King Crimson - Starless Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven Premiata Forneria Marconi - Appena Un Po Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Tarkus Pink Floyd - Sheep I think that's a reasonably accurate list of my favorite songs from each of those ten artists. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

Huh. I guess being a prog fan is great for this kind of stuff because you have the option to pick a song that's the equivalent of an entire album side (or more nowadays). Sacro put the entirety of Thick as a Brick! I mean, for limited picks, I'd definitely throw in some tunes that are as long as half an album or more. It's like a hack for desert island picks.

Pink Floyd - Echoes Can - Spoon Björk - Yoga Talk Talk - After the Flood David Sylvian - Brilliant Trees Cardiacs - Big Ship Amon Düül II - Kismet Supertramp - A Soapbox Opera Camel - Never Let Go Kate Bush - Suspended in Gaffa (I left out Rubycon and Holger's genius work Träum Mal Wieder, because they don't really fit the term "Song", whereas "Echoes" just about does.)

Blind Curve is a fantastic track but I would really want the whole of side two. It was their Suppers Ready
