Two songs with huge intros - one features mellotron, the other arp synthesizer, both basicly flours you to the ground. Bes heard load in speakers so that the nighbour can nothing but cry.

Between these two, Elton John. Watcher of The Skies just sounds so bland.
But if I had to pick an all-time most majestic intro, it would probably be The Revealing Science of God. |

Went for Elton John. Well, Dream Theater doing Elton John to be more precise.
Still think this would've been more interesting if we had more than 2 to choose from though... Edited by RoeDent - October 17 2016 at 11:36 |

Personally, I think Emerson Lake and Palmer's Pirates, and Rush's Big Money have the most grand prog-like openers.

I would have pitted Genesis' Watcher' against U.K.'s Alaska. With that said, WATCHER'.

Hard to choose. I'll have to think about it before I can vote.

Both great, but Genesis just wins for me.
The one track that I think pips both is Hero and Heroine by Strawbs. Short, but magnificent.
