I had a hard time deciding on this one. It came down to In the Court... and Epitath.

In The Court... won by a hair.

Schizoid Man. The rest doesn't interest me as much. Terribly overrated album, even when considering it's historical importance.

I think the tracks that really changed the history (even if it is all outstanding) are 21st century schizoid man and Moonchild. I vote for 21st because it has a rhythm that i'll never forget, NEVER!
What a masterpiece... I'm moved everytime I listen to it.

I love the whole album, but the title track is the one that gets running through my head and calls me to take the album out.

This thread reminded me to re-buy the album.  The CD version I have is 15+ years old and I hear the newest remaster sounds excellent.

It's good to see the love spread around pretty evenly for this great CD.

I picked Schizoid Man, but next day it could be any other composition.

Well, groundbreaking it may be but does that make it the most excellent piece of music on this record? I vote a definite no and choose Epitaph. Just like I would choose Eleanor Rigby any day over Tomorrow Never Knows on Relvolver... To each their own, of course!

Amazingly it took me four years into my prog collecting quest to finally grab a copy of ITCOTCK! I bought it last summer because I heard Epitaph on the radio, would you believe. A four hour program focusing on nothing but progressive rock was aired one night on one of Finland's national radio stations, now how cool is that!




I was made to love magic

Schizoid Man for me.  The only one on the album I listen to frequently.

I honestly can't choose between I Talk to the Wind and Epitaph. Epitaph seems to be getting a lot of love though so I'll go with the former. The others are fantastic too.
