Prog tracks that you feel get too much hate...

Moonchild - King Crimson

I know I'm in a vast minority, but I've always loved this song.

I love Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, but there is very little VDGG I don't love.   

"Who Dunnit"!!!!!!!

AH is respected... 'appreciated' not so much.

To me Moonchild is wonderful as part of the full album experience. But it's the track on the album I would be the least likely to feel like playing on its own. I think of the four other compositions as timeless classics, so I guess I don't place it up there with the others in that regard. But that's not what it's made for.

So Meddle is my favorite Pink Floyd album. I'm not gonna fight for Seamus. I do find it enjoyable and fun enough (but I wouldn't mind if they had included the studio version of Embryo instead).

-San Tropez however is just so effortlessly beautiful to me. I love it as much as anything. I feel like the average progger dismiss it by default. When it's not judged on its own terms you miss out on what it actually aims for - and succeed at. I know I'm exactly like that myself at times though. Maybe More Fool Me is an excellent track for what it is too, I wouldn't know, and I never want to hear it again. So while I think it's unfair each time I'm the one with the unpopular opinion, I fully understand why and how this happens.

More Fool Me (there's nothing wrong with a "breather") and Battle of Epping Forest. But I'm a theater kid, so this is not surprising. I also love Robbery, Assault and Battery. Sue me.

From the 'big six':
Providence
Abaddons Bolero
Don't Kill The Whale
All In A Mouse's Night

I can't think of any classic era Tull or Floyd that is hated on try as I might to think of something, maybe that part of A Passion Play that annoys people but it's only a part of a track. I guess with Floyd I could throw in The Trial but I don't love it personally.

Embryo is a great track, but they must have been thinking that it was too close to Saucerful of Secrets while they were trying to find a different way.
But in their shoes I would have released it.

I agree that it's nothing wrong with a breather - like the short and sweet For Absent Friends. But I think More Fool Me is a weak song.

It's essentially the soundtrack to a Tom & Jerry cartoon...
