That's one of my favorites from that album. Thought album wise i much prefer Free Hand. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

I surprised myself and voted for "The Real Me". I'm not a big Who fan, but it's everything I could want in the opening song of a great concept album... I would have voted for Hotel Hobbies, but I never consider it as a stand alone song. More like part 1 of what I like to call "The Hotel Hobbies Suite" which includes Warm Wet Circles and That Time of the Night. They'll always be one 14 minute song for me. ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

It's a very strong song indeed! A classic rock staple for sure. I kind of agree with the Suite concept, when i first listened to Clutching Straws i noticed after That Time Of Night i really enjoyed the music - as if it was one song. I can listen to Hotel alone though. I think it stands alone better than Warm Wet Circles and That Time Of Night. My favorite from the album at the moment is Slainte Mhath.

Elephant9 - Fugl Fønix for me. Incredible way of starting an album! The drums from Lofthus are insane - buffalo-like or something to that effect. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| Close call between GG and KC but as much as I love King Crimson, I think that Matte Kudasai is the weakest song of Discipline(Which is still a 5 stars album IMO) |

I never was a fan of Matte Kudasai. That reminds me, I heard a fellow playing that song on the street corner earlier this summer. Wax Simulacra for me. |

Not surprised by the GG love, but i wasn't thinking this KC song would do so well? Especially over songs like Separation and Hotel Hobbies. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Matte Kudesai over Hotel Hobbies. One of the best KC ballads. Lovely vocals from Belew. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

In this order: Matte Kundesai is that gentle side of King Crimson which is too often ignored. Beautiful song with a great melody. The Real Me by the Who has some great bass playing courtesy of the late Ox. I also like The Sun in My Eyes by the Tangent. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

C'mon how can I not vote Wax Simulacra? Such a fantastic song right there, and so so difficult to keep up with on the drums. I really love Separation as well though

Tough choice between Cynic and Marillion, went with Cynic as I consider Hotel Hobbies only part of a suite (as already mentioned).

| One vote for The Tangent. It may not be their "proggiest" tune, but damn it's catchy! |

Indeed, i've actually seen that after seeing who the guy is. He must have a powerful leg muscle cuz it looks like he's doing slide technique as well as the heel/toe. At least thats what i'm getting from staring at his leg  ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Check out some more of his covers, if you haven't. He's got a couple TesseracT tunes, Periphery maybe? Killer player.
