Agreed, the two long songs of Los Delirios el Mariscal are definitely my favorites from an excellent album. Their self title debut is also worth checking, it's more keyboard oriented and have a jazzy/fusion feel.

Great list! Invisible, Anekdoten, Gentle Giant, Eloy, Crucis, Gong, Le Orme, Zappa... very tough.

Waterloo Lily! Hysterical, groovy, and seems exactly like the kind of thing pantaloons-sporting pimps would have played while cruising around Georgian Era London in their blinged-out carriages - prog burlesque at its finest.
I also really like the Crucis number, though I prefer the other 3 tracks on the album to it.

A lot of great ones with no votes. Embryo, AD II, Hawkwind, Caravan, Nebelnest , PH are all terrific openers. Might re lister and vote for one of those.

It was my fourth/fifth Can album and a love at first listen album. Tago Mago was my first and it takes a lot of spin to really appreciate it.

"Drag Ropes" is one of the spookiest, vibiest tracks I've ever come across, even more so with the video. Perfect opener.

How about Openers from the late, great Ronnie Montrose's Open Fire?

Floating, no contest. Prologue is pretty good though.
