Fly like a song, fly while you're singing
A song without you is a bird without winging
Some city flights leave in the morning
Some city nights end without warning
Can you hear me call?

Hi,

How I love to blast this on my stereo or in the car. Fabulous.

Heart - probably your most out-of-moshkito-character comment ever posted. I didn't even know that blasting tunes on your car stereo was within your vocabulary - or oeuvre. But I like it and fully agree:)

A track I have always loved....not sure if it's an 'epic' but I love the olde English pastoral feel and it takes me to another land....and it is probably not that well known .

Great to see Utopia's The Ikon included! But I also love UK, Alan Parson's Project, Atoll, Supertramp, PFM, Focus, Triumvirat... Difficult to single out just one, but will go with the latter to get rid of that donut score.

Shocked Dayum! You saw Utopia in their prime??!! The pre-Roger lineup??

The recent concert video's with the classic stuff's really good. Todd's guitar tone is righteous. They honestly sound like they've lost nothing. I have to stop it when they get into the pop stuff, though.

Adonis or Fool's Overture. Went with Adonis because it has fewer votes.

Awesome list! Went with Caravan, but one vote is not enough.

First thought I had also.

I'd normally pick Steve Hackett, but that particular song just repeats the same thing over and over. So I went with Renaissance, and one of their best songs IMO.

Hancock for me, that album is truly a sleeping giant of the era.

Bunch of pieces I love here. Hackett is a close second, but went with Island - Pictures. Although, if I was picking a track off that album I would go with Herold and King.
