These are all personal favourites of mine from prog's classic period that I feel are generally (and criminally) overlooked. Vote for as many as you like.

Lots to love here but I went for L'Amico Suicida
Could just as easily have gone another route though.

Great choices! My favorites from the list are the three italians, Bubu, MIA, and the superb Novalis.

man I could go back and forth between those monsters from Osanna and Baletto di Bronzo...

so going with the 3rd place..still utterly fabulous.. but that intro man. Whoo hooo.  Nothing touches that..  raises the hair on my arms everytime I listen to it. Amazing man.

The Bubu, Arco Iris, Gryphon, Maneige, and Osanna selections would all make it onto my top 100.

A really nice selection. One of these but I can't choose  

Biglietto Per L'Inferno - L'Amico Suicida
Earth & Fire - Song of the Marching Children
MIA - Cornonstipicum
Il Balletto Di Bronzo - Introduzione

-don't think I've ever heard the two first poll-options so will try and see if I can locate them
