Two of the better known symphonic prog groups of the last decade, Transatlantic and The Tangent have produced some great music, but are both well known for epic compositions. Between these two, which do you think is the better one?
Also, side-question if you want to answer it. If you're going to make a super-epic compilation including "All Of The Above" and "A Place In The Queue", which third epic would you place on an 80-minute CD-r? You would have up to 24 minutes for another song.
Anyways, let the battle of the super-group epics begin!

| I really like both of these epics, but All of the Above is one of my absolute favorites. |

"A Place in the Queue" is good, but "All of the Above" is great. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

I've grown to be a big fan of all the music by the Tangent...but the first time I heard All of the Above...wow. A buddy of mine loaned me the disc saying. "you've gotta hear this". At 10 minutes into this epic I called him and said, "Omygod, this is the best song I've heard done in the last 20 years!!!!" I've since had some time (and listening) to re-evaluate, and my opinion has only slighty changed. 1 vote for Transatlantic...R.I.P. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">  |
