Favourite disc-long song

After the 'side-long tracks' poll, I decided to go one further and create a poll featuring two epics that span an entire CD. I'm aware that 'The Incident' has time on its side, what with being released only a month ago, but on musical qualities, which is your favourite, The Incident or 6DOIT?

EDIT: Changed the title to '...song' because the two songs are split into seperate tracks (14 and 8 respectively). Also, for those who asked, the bands concerned consider their works to be one song, split into several movements.

The DT one is pretty good but badly shadowed by the first disc of the album. The Incident does just that for its pair, on the album and on this poll.

Thick as a Brick comes to mind. I would also to like to get some attention for 'Hypothesis' by Vangelis of which I think it is a masterpiece of free jazz/fusion.

The Incident isn't a disc long track or a disc long song or one unified piece in the slightest. Plus, it isn't that impressive either way anyways. So I went with the Dream Theater song (which also isn't a single track unless you make it that way). This poll is missing Light of Day, Day of Darkness.

Surprised we seem to be missing some of my favorites...

You can't be serious with this poll.

I prefer Green Carnation's or Beyond Twilight's disc-long epics over those two. Though I haven't gotten over The Incident, even unlikely since I'm not quite a PT fan, Six Degrees doesn't have enough class in overall, despite some great parts. But if I really had a choice, Six Degrees gets my vote.

I'll need to listen to The Incident some more before voting here (must have listened to the 6DoiT epic dozens of times) ... but it will be a close call.
