Voted for Pictures at an Exhibition.
Some other ones not mentioned:
- Electric Light Orchestra's adaptation of In the Hall of the Mountain King (Edvard Grieg)
- A good portion of Ekseption's discography (though not all of it is really that great)
- Emerson Lake & Powell's adaptation of Mars, the Bringer of War (Gustav Holst)

Pictures at an Exhibition of course!
...Horizons was a classical piece?
Yes! I think it's by Bach. Funny story on how i found out. I loved the song and learned the beginning on guitar. Then I started playing it for my guitar teacher and she was shocked!
Actually it was written by Hackett but is based on Bach.
I'm voting for Toccata (specifically the live version from WBMFTTSTNE).

I knew ELO had one, I just couldn't think of it. I should probably look into the Ekseptions discography, and I didn't include ELP's version of Mars because I already included KC's.

Bourée. Tull took Bach on a journey to Jazz land. Most of the other songs here are simply mimicking the original. And I disqualified Hackett's "Horizons", which is a direct lift of Cello Suite No. 1 in G major BWV 1007, but they never acknowledged Bach on the album cover. And, of course, Bach's version is much better :
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Bouree, followed by Fanfare, Hoedown, and then Tocatta.
