Close to the Edge. Lateralus is a masterpiece but it is not an "epic". -------------  |

This was rearly close between Scenes... and Foxtrot, but as its albums and not songs I had to go for scenes... ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Gotta vote for Brain Salad Surgery... VERY underrated by proggers. "Jerusalem" is perhaps the pompiest, most grandoise opening I've heard yet for an album, "Toccata" is instrumental insanity, "Still... You Turn Me On" is an infinitely cool laid back number, and call me absolutely crazy, but I'm starting to find "Benny the Bouncer" quite funny. All of that pales, though, to the title track, which is absolutely mindblowingly brilliant. Some days, I would even swear that it's maybe the best song ever written...

where is Tales From Topographic Oceans. The embodyment of an 'epic' album.

Moving Pictures.......... ha ha hah. That just jumps out to
me as an epic album. Maybe an 'epic' AOR album.

Dark Side Of The Moon, second most important concept album ever. A work of true genius. My favourite is Casino though, by Geoff Mann and Clive Nolan and others. You do mean concept by epic, don't you

The best EPIC album is IMO Devin Townsend - Terria. Closely followed by albums of Isis, Tool and Amplifier. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

| moving pictures is not really an epic album, perhaps hemispheres, 2112, or Caress of Steel would have been a better choice for RUSH. |

Close To The Edge...where's The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway?
------------- My grip must be flipping Cos his handshake keeps slipping My hopes keep on dipping And his lips keep on smiling all the time |

The two albums that really define prog 'Close To The Edge' & 'Brain Salad Surgery'. Can't choose between the two

Should have excpected that from Real... But yeah really, The Lamb is excellent But I have to go with Darkside. ------------- www.myspace.com/hail_peter

Lateralus? How did that crap get up there? Hahahha. Whatever... This was a real hard poll to decided on. I have fallen hard for The Snow Goose and Godbluff recently... but... I still had to go with Darkside of the Moon. Still the best album ever, in my opinion. |

By the way... what is Ghost Reviers? Did you spell it wrong or
have I just never heard of it? I checked the archieves for it,
too and nothing came up. I'm in the dark, man.

I like Opeth's new release so I've chosen this one but my real favourite is Symphony X's "V"!!!

Oh those choices, I'm gonna go for Dark Side. But the most epic album I've ever heard is Tales From Topographic Oceans. |
