THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
WE WILL STAND UP TO THE LIES
WITH THIS HEART, BIGGER THAN AMERICA!

WE WILL FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE
NO MORE KIDS WILL SEE THE LIES!

Just writing the lyrics give me goosebumps, damn Unfold the Future is perfect!

EDIT: listening to it right now. Definitely their best epic.

"The Truth Will Set You Free" kept my soul alive during the Bush years.  For this, it has earned my life-long loyalty.

Some great stuff here, but Stardust just pips it for me still.

I'm with Pablo, "I Am the Sun" remains one of my favorite songs regardless of the artist.
I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a five year old daughter and coping mechanisms.

Eh, it's probably just because Jeff hasn't seen the poll, give him time.

Nice poll Arnold Tongue.
 
Unfortunately my answer is automatic, despite the fabulous choice of epics here.  As I Am The Sun combined is my favourite piece of music ever, that gets my vote.  Second would be the incredible Garden Of Dreams with Monsters and Men third.
 
In truth though, all the options are fantastic.

I Am the Sun, the second best epic(s) they've ever recorded.

This one comes closest to my choice(s). But then the other way around. You know what ? I'll put them in my favorite order:
 
1. Monsters & Men
2. Garden of Dreams
3. Humanizzimo
4. Love is the only Answer
5. Driver's Seat
6. Stardust we are
7. I am the Sun
8. The Truth will set you free
9. Love Supreme
10. Devil's Playground
 
I can only conclude all these >20 min epics are outstanding ! # 10 still gets at least 4,5 stars from me.
Flower Kings are simply amazing (damn when is their new album due ?)

Hey Henk!  How are you doing.
 
That list is pretty similar to the order of my preferences too Approve.  Just a few little tweaks here and there but pretyy close to my list.  Driver's Seat is another huge fave of mine which doesn't appeal to many of the hardcore TFK fans, glad to see you also give it the Thumbs Up.
 
Also Henk, what happened to your avatar Shocked?
