So many fantastic songs, and I'm afraid to say there are 2 songs I don't know from this list, hoewever I must choose Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Perhaps not the most complex song but indeed it's got such beauty all around. However, I do love all the songs I know from the list. Now, it would be interesting if someone got to the task of getting all the favourite songs from the big prog artists (just the way a few months ago Starless was chosen, first asking a list of favourite song in top 10, then counting the most recurrent songs and puting them for voting); and then having all the winners from such artists, puting them on a new poll to get the very favourite prog song... however I would certainly be too lazy to do that.

I voted for Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, because I've been exploring VdGG these past few weeks. But Supper's Ready was my first prog Magnum Opus.

Why is "Magnum Opus" not on the magnum opus list?

Okay, okay, you got me....my definition of "similar" happens to be "exact same poll with the same choices available in the same order with the same title and question"......LOL.
 
And that's you and me both for Starless, all 12 minutes of it.

In that case you must have missed a similar poll that I conducted less than a month ago. LOL

I definitely welcome all of these type of polls since this music is essential to Progressive Rock! Wink
I'm not sure if King Crimson's can be considered a magnum opus since it's only 12 minutes long especially since the band also recorded Lizard. Still it definitely gets my vote!

I searched for a similar poll, and didn't find one. Then I made a mistake trying to make this poll earlier, and deleted that one. BUT! Here is the final poll, as originally intended. One "song" per artist, of these that I consider absolutely essential prog magnum opi. Of course, there will be some debate as to which should have been included or not, but I will add no "other" option, kindly just tell me in your posts. I think and hope that this is an interesting poll indeed.
