Rapture of the deep is very proggish, too!

Child in Time IS prog! DP never surpassed it. The Made in Japan version is quintessential listening.

Absolutely agree. My favourite is Child in Time, but only the other four mentioned really qualify as prog, as I'd define it. They show, how the borders between rock and classical music can be successfully crossed, which was ground-breaking for the whole genre of progressive rock. And from those four my favourite is probably also April.

"Fools" comes to mind. And also, "Mandrake Root"

I clicked at "other" because, IMHO, In Rock, as entire album aswell, is the most  proggy stuff  in their catalogue.

Fools and April. I could have gone with Child In Time but great though it is, it is not as intricately structured (imo) as my two picks.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned my favorite and most progressive piece by DP which is their version of I'm So Glad that they melded with a rock version of the stanza of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Yeah, it's not really their composition, but their arrangement is amazing.

...where's "Mandrake Root" on the list?  "Chasing Shadows"? "A 200"?  "Sail Away"
"Watching The Sky" from the album Abandon?

April & Concerto are the most prog for sure. I vote for April. Better melodies there.
