My five:
Genesis - Supper's Ready King Crimson - Starless Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond (1-5) [this is better if it's all 10 parts] Renaissance - Song of Scheherazade Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - L'evoluzione There is ongoing proof that flour exists. |

As was to be expected, there are far more than 5 tracks worth to be voted for. I try to avoid voting for my "usual suspect" bands this time - even this is difficult because there are so many of them here, but no, no Can, Amon Düül II, Tangerine Dream, King Crimson, VDGG, Camel votes this time.
I love some straight songs, the magic of a melody that speaks to me, and I've always loved Dust in the Wind and Logical Song, so that'll be two votes. I like much Magma but vote rarely for them as they tend to appear in polls where there is something I like even more, but De Futura will get a vote here. Fourth vote goes to Arbeit Macht Frei, and the fifth one to Scheherazade - not exactly dark horses admittedly but what can I do?

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

^ Very nice, thanks. :)
Thanks. I often would have different top picks too (from your list, Pheadra and Starless would be my top ranked, and Fragile is my favourite Yes album), but the ranking also comes down to the algorithm being used to calculate the rankings based on the collective ratings. The one with the highest rating may not be the highest ranked. If I'd gone for the list right on the artist page at RYM, then say with Yes, the top ranked would be Close to the Edge. With Rush it would Tom Sawyer... I think I should have gone with those lists from RYM. Oh well. It's just calculated a little differently. Change the algorithm (how things are weighted) and you change the results despite the data being the same. That's a funny thing with charts often, it's not just how much a combined set of people like things, it's how the data is calculated.
While I asked for up to five, I knew that would be a challenge too. Edited by Logan - 9 hours 49 minutes ago at 22:59 |

-desert island picks (and voted for)
King Crimson - Starless Gong - Master Builder Magma - De Futura Camel - Lady Fantasy Tangerine Dream - Phaedra -more desert island candidates really Amon Düül II - Soap Shop Rock Yes - Roundabout Premiata Forneria Marconi - Appena un pò Jethro Tull - Aqualung Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - L'evoluzione -love these bands (and songs) as much-or more than the ones above, but I have another handful of "top songs" for sure Can - Halleluwah Van der Graaf Generator - Killer Genesis - Supper's Ready Area - Arbeit Macht Frei Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond (1-5) -more great bands and songs, but these are even further from my personal choice of top songs Le Orme - Sospesi Nell'incredibile Gentle Giant - Proclamation The Mothers of Invention - Inca Roads Renaissance - Song of Scheherazade Focus - Hocus Pocus (not into Focus at all, but enjoy this for what it is) -I do not care for any of the remaining five* Harmonium - Histoires Sans Paroles Supertramp - The Logical Song Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus Rush - The Spirit of Radio Kansas - Dust in the Wind *I enjoy a selected few songs by Rush & Supertramp, but not the ones in the poll. Try Again and Xanadu would have done much better. |

I must have different tastes to RYM, but still a great list. I would vote for 9, so had to whittle it down a bit.
Yes - Roundabout Tangerine Dream - Phaedra KC - Starless Rush - Spirit of Radio I almost went with ELP Tarkus but instead went with Supertramp The Logical Song |

I chose 25 well-known classic bands included in PA as Prog, and then used Rate Your Music's top ranked song for each band.
Please list and vote for up to five of these tracks (only one vote per song). |
