I thought this was going to be a poll about which recent poll was our favorite... Yes is going to win this in an absolute landslide. Pitting Supper's Ready against We Have Heaven might be more fair than this match up.

Ogre Battles makes these other battles merely skirmishes with old women fighting with spoons. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| I love "The Battle of Epping Forest" but ... The Gates of Dellirium is superior ! |

I was looking for beautiful chests. Clearly the Battle of Epping Forest is the best. And I was taken by surprise. And I quickly closed my eyes. It was trailing Gates of Delirium. Bob the Nob came out on his job to see what the trouble was. "Louise, is HackettFan hard to please?" "You're telling me!" "Perhaps, sir, if it's not too late. We could interest you in a vote for Gates of Delirium?" "Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute." "That's why I voted for.. The Battle of Epping Forest, It's the Battle of Epping Forest, With sardonic lyrics to appeal. You ain't heard nothing like it. No, you ain't heard nothing like it, Not since After the Ordeal. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie. The truth is always waiting when there's nothing left to try. - Colin Henson, Jade Warrior (Now) |

The Gates of Delirium ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

| Wow, it's a lot closer than I thought it would be. Interesting. For me it's Gates by a country mile. |

 Beautifully done, beautifully done. Despite that, I voted for Gates.------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Gates by far for me. Epping Forest is awful imo, the worst of Gabriels attempts at being theatrical. The song makes me cringe. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

| guess it depends on whether you like your prog humorous or heavy---Gates is art out of electronic orchestration and Epping is funny and I love it and Hackett brings it home at the end---but get why so many don't but it's no Delirium. |

| Depends I guess if you pay much attention to lyrics, or prefer long orchestrations. I'm of the former group who likes clever lyrics, so my vote goes to Genesis. |

It's obviously going to be Gates on this one... ...But damn is Epping Forest an amazing track! It's my favorite non-Foxtrot epic (I like it over Musical Box, Harold the Barrel, etc.). ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |
