guess it depends on whether you like your prog humorous or heavy---Gates is art out of electronic orchestration and Epping is funny and I love it and Hackett brings it home at the end---but get why so many don't but it's no Delirium.

Depends I guess if you pay much attention to lyrics, or prefer long orchestrations. I'm of the former group who likes clever lyrics, so my vote goes to Genesis.

I'll never understand the Epping Forest haters. Such a great, great song!!! PICNIC!!!

That said, Gates is a work of pure genius.

YES for the win.

It's obviously going to be Gates on this one... 

...But damn is Epping Forest an amazing track! It's my favorite non-Foxtrot epic (I like it over Musical Box, Harold the Barrel, etc.).
