ok, I'll bite, but as usual I will only give 1 track per artist to avoid being a fangirl:

Mother Gong - The Pied Piper of Hamlin
Van der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh
Gong - Master Builder
Amon Düül 2 - Syntelman's March of the Roaring Seventies
Embryo - Entrances
Can - Halleluwah
Guru Guru - Der Elektrolurch
Tangerine Dream - Alpha Centauri
Clearlight - Clearlight Symphony
Christian Boulé - Orange Climax
Hawkwind - Assault and Battery / The Golden Void (I consider this to be one track)
King Crimson - Lizard
Genesis - Waiting Room (yes, an odd choice)
Klaus Schulze - Velvet Voyage
Brainticket - Brainticket (for the pure madness of it)
Kraan - Holiday am Marterhorn
Birth Control - Gamma Ray
Ash Ra Tempel - Amboss

these are just a few; I am certain I could name more

Ooh controversial .

Actually I like it now, it gives me a feeling of great comfort when it starts, but it took a while to get used to.

OK, I have my list of very favourite british prog songs of the 70's, and that one goes for 119 songs (just the big 6, plus GG, VdGG, Renaissance, and Camel). There's still the songs from the other decades, and other countries, and other bands out of this small group, and so on. So I guess it's just about impossible for me to make such a list.

To give as a vote 10 means not only perfection, but excellence, that is to do something more, sensational, unexpected, brilliant. 

For this reason I am very picky with the 10: we are talking about the summit that can't be overcome. At the moment I have not yet put any 10 to the albums or songs of which I made the reviews. I put the max at 9.5. 

So far there is only one song to which I will give 10: Man-ERG.

A fair point indeed. I was also very picky for giving an song of an album 10/10 but it seems i'm getting more soft now

Btw, Man-erg is something quite special :)
