Best single track disc

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm probably leaving out a few but I really couldn't think of any others when I came up with this idea. There were a few such as The Flower Kings-Garden of Dreams that came close but didn't quite cut it. In 1974 That would have qualified though. If anyone wants to vote for that particular TFK track that's fine since it would have been a single track if it was on vinyl although it would have been split into two parts. I almost was going to include it too. Anyway, any others I missed I want to know about.

	This was a little tricky to compile because there are a lot of great side long tracks but not all that many that take up a whole album. I kept thinking I was missing something by Frank Zappa, Magma, Pink Floyd or ELP or even Yes. With the last one it seems that some could consider TFTO as one big long super duper piece. It is a concept but there are four separate individual tracks so no.

	OK, I'd really like to know what that "other" is that someone just voted for. ;)

	I have to mull this over. I bought Mei a few months ago, but I haven't warmed up to it so far. I'm going back and forth between Thick as a Brick and Remember the Future. Hmm...

	Ok, people still aren't saying what these "others" are.

	Well there's Crimson by Edge Of Sanity that's hovering around position 89 on the top 100prog albums list...that might have gotten a vote or two by roaming extreme metal fans.

	Ommadawn is the only thing that could beat out Thick As A Brick for me.

	Ommadawn and Thick as a Brick are too fantastic compositions, though I will side with Jethro Tull on this one. Six Degrees would be my third favorite. Might I also suggest Amarok from Oldfield as well? I'm not familiar with that album/song, but it fits the criteria.

	Voted for Rubycon. I love Oldfield but his "single tracks" are more patchworks of different tracks tied together. I'd like to mention "Perhaps - Vol 1" and "Senmuth - Zekhenu Uaut Setekh"

	Hergest Ridge. Great album. Well, any of the Oldfields that are mentioned.

	I know about "Amarok" but forgot to mention it. Then again, as it is he already has more on here than anyone else.

	Some of the songs I don't know. I voted TaaB. Both MDK (Magma) and The Whirlwind (Transatlantic) are missing from the list (as well as plenty others of course).
