   I don't know about a favourite five.
I do a radio show on community radio in outback Australia on Sunday nights where I always finish up with a 15 minute plus track. Here are a few I have played on air...
Salisbury - Uriah Heep (last night, in fact ... and I snuck in Grobschnitt's 'Magic Train' last night in the 'normal' show because it is less than 15 minutes long!)
Windchase - Sebastian Hardie
Four Moments - Sebastian Hardie
Autobahn - Kraftwerk
Dark Side Of The Moon (complete) - Pink Floyd
Tubular Bells Part 1 - Mike Oldfield
Mumps - Hatfield and The North
Greatest Show On Earth - Martin Darvill
Singring And The Glass Guitar (An Electrified Fairytale) - Utopia
A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers - VDGG
Echoes - Pink Floyd
Valentyne Suite - Colosseum
Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (complete) - Rick Wakeman
There are heaps of others!
Next week ... Close To The Edge!

	T. you Rox, man! I am pleasantly surprised at some of your list... Singring and the Glass Guitar is a great example! "This is an electrified fairy tale... If you've never heard of an electrified fairy tale, just picture wee faeries with tiny electric guitars..." I once heard a combination of long tracks one cold December night in 1975 on our local FM album station the following: 1. And You and I by Yes then 2. The Ikon by Todd Rundgren's Utopia I was using my brother's Wollensach 8060 quadrophonic 8-track recorder to capture this, but later lost the tape. I couldn't remember for years what the second track was, and searched used record shops for the album to jog my memory. This did have the surprising side effect of improving my limited knowledge of prog rock, and I am eternally grateful for that. Anyways, I was at a friend's house back in about 1990, and he says to me, "Pick something out to play" So, I'm looking over his tapes, and there's one that's labelled "Todd Rundgren's Utopia". I figured cool, I'm in the mood for Todd Rundgren, so I put it on. From the first 5 or 6 notes, I knew right then I found it!!!!! I was bouncing off the walls, I was so excited! Turns out, he had the album too, so I sat there and gazed at the cover art and the lyrics while listening to The Ikon. I remember back when Autobahn hit here in the States. I went to a K-Mart and stole a copy LOL... Took it to the German language class teacher at my school, and I heard he played it for the class, then was spotted later watering his plants in the window sill, while dancing along and singing "Fahrn fahrn fahrn auf der autobahn!" hahahaha Your post is making me want to broadcast on Shoutcast...
