Okay you prog literalists, not THE GREATEST, so put your peacock feathers down.
Make your case for why Starless is indeed the greatest song ever, at least for a prog fan.
- 12 minutes, goes by effortlessly
- 3 distinct movements in the song
- Crimson during their (arguably) peak period
- Mellotron
- John Wetton's vocals
- Just enough dissonance to make your guests leave the room
- The spine chilling crescendo that brings the main theme home in such a powerful way (contrasting with the melancholy of the opening)
Rock on.
