Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that
"Can-utility..." has to be it for Genesis.
They pack, loikes, three songs into those 6 minutes.
Its not feckin' "Safety Dance" and that is for sure.
I have three:
Camel - Lady Fantasy
Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight
Galleon - Permanent Vacation
Camel: Mystic Queen
It just seems like the greatest progressive song ever in that it has both a cinematic and dream like quality that makes me think of the most beautiful girl and the most wonderful place you could imagine.
Transatlantic's Whirlwind...a song which fills a CD nearly to capacity.
"Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?"--Dalai Lama
Genesis-- Unquiet Slumbers/Afterglow
Utopia-- The Ikon (if that's a "song"...)
PFM-- Out of the Roundabout
Renaissance-- Can You Understand
Transatlantic -- Duel With the Devil
Brian Wilson -- Surf's Up
If I ever had a prog radio program - like....grrrrr....Lino has - I would start the very first broadcast off with
Renaissance-- Can You Understand
Now that would be a fine beginning.
I grew up in the 70s, so Easy Money from KC and And You & I from Yes are two from my formative years.
Currently, my tops from the new generation are As the World from echolyn and Late Night Salvation from IZZ.
Easy: Thick As A Brick. Forever...

Suppers Ready
Gates Of Delirium
Though I can't possibly pick a favorite prog song, I think that's the one I'd choose to play for somebody (probably young) who has never heard or heard of prog. That or The Advent of Panurge. If I thought they had the attention span for it, I might choose Gates of Delirium.Originally Posted by meimjustalawnmower

can you sing a few more bars, sounds familiar, simply can't place it...
Mike-progbear: that is wonderful! I'm checking more stuff from them out.

Ten true summers we'll be back
And laughing too
Twenty four before my love
You'll see, I'll be there with you
Wow that's a tough one. Supper's Ready, CTtE, South Side of the Sky, Gates. Tarkus etc... but i have to say the one that takes me into another place is Awaken.
Close to the Edge, followed by Gates, and Heart of the Sunrise.
Does Thick As A Brick count as a single song?
Otherwise, it's Cinema Show.
There is not a thing shabby about echolyn's "Memoirs From Between", no matter the sentiments of certain members of the band.
Strawbs - New world
