I hope this is new one folks:
The idea is to name your best or favorite lead-in to a Prog Rock song. I'm not talking simply about some instrumental razzle-dazzle and then the song starts. What I mean is that the lead-in is great music AND serves the song - sets the stage, paints the background, lays the foundation, creates the atmosphere and tees up the song so that proceedings are pregnant and ready to give birth to that first line of the song.
My first pick off the top of me head: Arrow by Van Der Graaf Generator. IMO the music is a perfect setting for the ominous first utterances: "Stub towers in the distance, riders cross the blasted moor against the horizon".
Any players?
