I went for Echoes but only after a big struggle with Atom Heart Mother. However the poll is missing Renaissance's Ashes are Burning and Sheherazade (live versions) and Caravan's Nine Feet Underground.

I'd say CTTE but it's not over twenty minutes. And now it's dominating the poll...great. Anyway, I voted for Thick as a Brick.

I had to go with "Supper's Ready" after some seriou sagoniziong among a few other contenders. I might also suggest IQ's "Harvest of Souls" or, though it is integrally tied tot he rock concept album that it concludes, IQ's "The Narrow Margin," which squeaks in at exactly 20:00.

Well, Close to the Edge is my all time favorite song with Supper's Ready and Soft Machine's 6 first songs from their first album (one long epic imo), right after.
Some other greats are, Lizards, Plague of Lighthousekeepers, Awaken, Gates of Delirium, Ritual, The Revealing Science Of God, Storm (GY!BE), Sleep (GY!BE), Birdman (McDonald and Giles), In Held 'Twas in I
Still have to hear Thick as a Brick (the whole album)

Wow, this is tough... Octavarium, Supper's Ready, Close to the Edge, Thick as a Brick, and all 4 of the Transatlantic epics...
It's got to be one of the TA ones, but which one??? I guess I'll go with Stranger in Your Soul. I've seen it live twice now, and both times it has blown me away.

My vote goes to "Supper's ready", but "Echoes", "Atom Earth Mother" or "Close to the edge" are at the same level (maximum level  ) for me.

I'd have to go with Supper's Ready (the one song that really turned me onto Genesis), but if I could choose any song it'd be "A Gadarai Megszállott" by After Crying.
As for what's for supper, my guess is it's a reference to "the last supper", given the obvious religious symbolism in the song - "a personal journey which ends up walking through scenes from Revelations in the Bible....I'll leave it at that." in Peter Gabriel's words.

Wow, tough one ! So many great ones. I've voted for the one I'm most into at the moment, which is DT's "In The Presence of Enemies", but the vote could easily have gone to Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Echoes or Octavarium. Gates of Dilerium is brilliant too. |
I was worried no one was gonna give ItPoE any respect.  Aha, it may be cheesy, but musically it's great.

Close to the edge, but the tracks from Tales are excellent, too. Transtlantic makes good long songs, by the way.

 One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

Shame Hemispheres is not here (with it's 10 min prelude.) 2112doesn't quite strertch to 20 minutes but I take the point. Shame Awaken is sucjh a short song. Throw in some more carefully artiulated prog-chestration and it'd qualify (on physical terms.) It's already exceeded in content... So it's Gates for me. Interesting - and fun to watch the Battle Of Close to The Supper.

Close To The Edge just beats out Echoes--barely. Honorable mention to Revealing and Thick.
