If there isn't Supper's Ready I'd vote for Echoes, but as it is... it have to be Genesis SR (even after more than 30 years of listening to it I love it immensely).

CTTE and a very close second---Supper I mean CTTE is a perfect piece of prog--it has everything-- Suppers Ready is a very moving piece of music--I guess if I was forced I could find a flaw.

I think YES "Close to the Edge" is the winner, but, GENESIS "Suppers Ready" and PINK FLOYD "Echoes" are great epic tracks.

Supper's Ready, even on a full stomach.

Close to the Edge is what Symphonic Prog is all about. None better.
Echoes is good Floydian epic.
Supper's Ready never really did much for me. Some sections are good but overall it seems to drag.

I once did this very poll... or was it Echoes against the other two separatley? Not sure. However, I was surprised Echoes was actually the winner back then... at least as far as I remember. It seems things have changed once again around here (the preference in polls is usually shifting... sometimes more than others).

As great as pieces like Tarkus, Gates of Delirium, Dogs or Lighthouse Keepers are, it's those three that are the pinnacle of prog probably.
Each has their unique style, and they happen to represent perfectly the band that composed them. If I have to pick one of the three is Close to the Edge, even if they're all easily 10/10 pieces, that one is pure perfection.

CTTE.......always thought Echoes and Supper had a few boring bits in the middle.

Supper's Ready as it was a major uproar from what was at the time a small band on this side of the pond. Yes and 'Floyd were pretty well established when their "epics" came along.

I never imagined that at some point you might have prefered CttE over Supper's Ready... even if it's not the case anymore.

I voted for Echoes simply because I am tired of voting for the other two.
