I find it highly amusing how many votes it has received, albeit most seem to be anonymous.

Welcome back, my friends, to the Pleasuredome that never ends.....

I actually had to look them up on Wiki.....over the years I have not paid much attention to pop bands and wasn't even familiar with what they sounded like though I was aware of the name.

The SBB, Solaris, Shub-Niggurath, and Metheny & Mays are all outstanding tracks.

I would also add Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (1984), Supertramp's "Brother Where You Bound" (1985), Talk Talk's "The Rainbow / Eden / Desire" (1988), and Phish's "The Divided Sky" (1989). All phenomenal works imo.

I completely missed the SBB track! 😱
I’ve made right that mistake, and now given it a vote.
Thanks for pointing that out! 😉👍🏻


I only had 25 slots!




Totally understandable!! Just wanted to mention my other favorite 80s epics that weren't present.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Many awesome choices, BrufordFreak, especially Twelfth Night, IQ and Solaris.

Curiously, why "Sphinx Lightning" and not the much more highly regarded "Mojave Plan" from White Eagle?

Because Embarrassed I don't know White Eagle and LOVE Hyperborea!

Go listen to Side A ("Mojave Plan") ASAP...prepare to be blown away! Star

Seconded!
