dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources chased amid fusions of wonder in moments hardly seen forgotten colored in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge amused but real in thought we fled from the sea whole dawn of thought transfered through moments of days under searching earth revealing corridors of time provoking memories disjointed but with purpose craving penetrations offer links with the self instructors sharp and tender love as we took to the air a picture of distance dawn of our power we amuse re-descending as fast as misused expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing late into corners, and we danced from the ocean dawn of love sent within us colors of awakening among the many won't to follow, only tunes of a different age as the links span our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting... ------------- |

'Thick as a Brick' , although 'Close to the Edge' is not far behind, with 'Suppers Ready' behind that... Not very original choices, but perhaps with good reason.------------- And your wise men don't know how it feels... to be thick as a brick. |
Posted By: The Dark Elf
Date Posted: September 30 2012 at 10:17
For a very good reason. I would second "Thick as a Brick" as #1, but put "And You and I" in second in place of "Close to the Edge", and "Supper's Ready" as 3rd. Or perhaps "In the Court of the Crimson King". Come to think of it, picking just one is silly. Nearly every song offered in this thread is great in its own way. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

EDIT: OK, if you were pulling me by my dangles, threatening to rip'em off, ... I'd quickly blurt out something like ... "... A-a-a-a-a-aAH! ... Musical Box!" ... No, wait, ... wrong answer. I think the guitar parts and the production could have been better. In that case ... "... 'Facelift'! " Yeah, ... "Facelift" will do for now.

I think I should have been more specific; that list is the list of the songs that received a relatively good number of votes. I did not count any songs that received only one vote, so "Metropolis" might have got a vote. Think I'm gonna augment that list.

Hate to be somewhat unadventurous, but it would have to be 'Supper's Ready' for me

By the way: the purpose of this list is to help you decide on your #1 prog song, to see whether one of your choices was voted for or not.
