So there are a lot of possibilities, I'm sorry if I didn't take the one you may like the most.
My favourtie is "The Odyssey", an incredible and immortal piece of work. I've never noticed such a good songwriting. And never there was such a good interaction between music, lyrics and vocals. So now chose yourself! -------------

| Octavarium instead of ACOS? Two Symphony X songs? A severe lack of my choice, Karn evil nine? Should've included an "other" option... among other things. |

| I'm currently listening to Echoes... heyyyy... speaking of which! Where is that song on here! Still, though. Shine on You Crazy Diamond won the vote for me. |

A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, but Supper's Ready and Shine On are wonderful as well

There are so many good tracks in that list that make it very hard to chose just one.While I was very tempted to go with the classic Supper's Ready and CTTE,I picked 2112. -------------  |

I use to enjoy Grobschnitt's "Die Symphonie" , ( Bonus track of their first album .. ) 29 minutes of true music... Otherwise, i would shine on you crazy diamonds , although echoes is better :) |

The breathtaking "Plague of lighthouse keepers" to me, is so far ahead of the rest, only "Supper's ready" is in sight. (Although "Close to the edge" is a nearby third to S.R.) Enjoyed "Echoes", also by the way, which to me, is a better Pink Floyd longie than shine on. |

There are also 2 IQ songs and 2 Flower Kings songs. I couldn't decide 
And i had Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons but then i remembered Rush's 2112 and I turned it out of that list. Furthermore, for all of them who didn't see their favourite longtrack in that list I'm sorry but that's almost impossible. -------------

This for me has a joint top number 1 in Dream Theater, the mighty Pink Floyd and the mighty Rush, with synphony x (the oddessy) and spooks beard, shodow gallery and IQ coming second and jonit thirds respectivly. ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child!

Damn it! Why didn't I vote for that? Though I haved preferred some of the other songs on that list at one time or another, The Great Nothing is a song that I find myself listening to over and over again. But Supper's Ready takes a close second imo |

Thick as a Brick. The fact that a 40 minute song can fully hold
my interest every time speaks for itself. A Plague of Lighthouse
Keepers, Supper's Ready, and Close to the Edge all come extremely close.

Yes you are right, it's quite underrated cause it's quite hard to understand for lots of people (although it doesn't sound that difficult)! So many people don't like it although it is great and in my opinion it is one track but I think everyone has other opinions...  -------------
