No tracks come to mind - personally can't stand the entire Metallica tracklist or Tool's so any 10 from those 2 artists. Sorry to those who enjoy them - just personal preference.

"Supper's Ready"
Seriously. It's just seven or so small song strung together. No cohesion.

I just got my copy, and after two listens, so far I agree.
As for the rest of the songs mentioned, I like most of them, even Moonchild.

I agree with all of these except Plague of Lighthouse Keepers and The Musical Box. I hate Awaken, never got into Magma, and Cry For Everyone is average (for Gentle Giant)

(I guess it's my loss c/f nacrissistic w***kery)
1 - Close to the Edge Yes - the string of pearls that dreamed of being a diamond tiara
2 - Thick As a Brick Tull - the parody that came to represent what is being parodied
3 - Arrow VDGG - the tortured artist bites the hand that feeds him
4 - Moonchild Crimson - stoned hippy amateurish noodling
5 - Echoes Floyd - stoned hippy professional noodling
6 - Lizard Crimson - how to stretch going from straight to swung time in 20 minutes
7 - In My Time of Dying Zep - gives 'interminable dirges' a bad name
8 - Interstellar Overdrive Floyd - good loving home required for affectionate little orphan riff
9 - Formentera Lady Crimson - stoned hippy semi pro noodling
10 - Elektrolurch Mutation Guru Guru - smug hippy garbage
If anyone feels sufficiently narcissistic today, head over to the Rogues Gallery thread and indulge yourselves.
Get the hand lotion ready fellas....

I can't quite get my head around A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers... I've only heard it a couple of times but I keep coming back to it, cuz despite disliking some of the parts, I adore some others... It's confusing Oo
I'm still a pretty recent prog fan so I still dunno which songs will stand the test of time. Even so, I think The Cinema Show is A LITTLE BIT overrated,

Have to think about it. A few songs come to my mind immediately, so I place these on top of my list:
- A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers - Van der Graaf Generator
- 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
- Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
(likely to be cont'd)

grr... overrated is completely subjective.
I personally think The Battle Of Epping Forest is too silly for its own good, but that doesn't change anything. Many other people probably think that "The Camera Eye" by Rush is overrated - but I heart it to pieces.
Whatever. People will post their lists and feelings will be hurt. Although, knowing the nature of the forum these days it will just be people posting lists without looking at the ones already posted. No discussion - just narcissistic w**kery.
