Wow, this is a broad topic.  I'll do my best....

1. "Hamburger Concerto" by Focus
2. "Song for America" by Kansas
3. "The Count of Tuscany" by Dream Theater
4. "Supper's Ready" by Genesis
5. "Atom Heart Mother" by Pink Floyd
6. "At the End of the Day" by Spock's Beard
7. "Victorian Brickwork" by Big Big Train
8. "Mei" by Echolyn
9. "Xanadu" by Rush
10. "Child in Time" by Deep Purple

Numbers 2 - 10 are probably badly out of order, but for the life of me I couldn't decide how they should go.

Few more that I forgot to mention (and so did everyone else) :
 
Popol vuh - Einsjagger & Sibensjagger
Trespass - Morning light (the title track from their second album which is much better than the former IMO)
Alan Parson's project - The fall of the house of Usher
Jane - Between heaven and hell (one of the greayest epics ever IMO)
 
And yes, the long track from Gnidrolog's "Lady lake" is calle "I could never be a soldier' and it was allready mentioned (for good reason if you ask me).

exactly my point.. now that you mention it.  Even though I am FAR from considering myself a KC fan.. Starless is absoutely one of favorites and holds a very special place in my heart because of a very special woman LOLHeart  Yet I couldn't even think of it with a gun in my mug LOL

simply too many great ones...

I thought I would only write unmentioned ones though Raff and Ivan did remind some of my favorites but there are few left. Let's see :
 
Amon duul II - Phalus dei
Il baletto di bronzo - Introduzione (funny how some of you chose Epilogo while I'm in love with this one)
David Bowie - Cygent comitee
Comus - Drip drip
Can - You do it right (somebody stoled my beloved "Halleluwah")
Deep purple - April & Child in time
Discipline - all 4 tracks from "Unfolded like staircase. all more than 10 minutes and all magic.
Focus - Hamburger concerto (how did you all miss this one I wonder)
Faust - Krautrock
Gong - Flying teapot
Peter Hamil - A louse is not a home & In the black room
King crimson - The battle of glass tears (the epic song from the conceptual half album - Lizard) & Fracture
Proto-kaw - Incomudro (I prefer this early version on Kansas' version)
Par Lindh project - Gradus ad parnasum
Spirogyra - In the western world (their only one above 10 minutes although the 9 minute track called "The furthest point" is better IMO)
UK - Carrying no cross
VDGG - Murglys III & La rossa
Vangelis - Heaven and hell I & II
 
and Micky, it's very easy ! Just say "Starless" and you'll be on the right side (I guess it is hell but who knows). Anyway, What's the point dreaming on blond ugly cows while at your home there's a beautyful dark hair and brown skin lady ? Is it another case of giving nuts to those who have no teeth ? Life isn't fair !

I would venture to suggest that the guy two posts previous has not heard Coheed And Cambria's 29 minute The Willing Well which certainly IS a prog song, though many of their other tracks are not.

Pass the tar and I will get the Feathers, Jack!
Coheed and Cambria is not prog! I don't care what the consensus is, its rubbish. I heard many of their album tracks and nothing comes close to what u may consider prog. What is prog about them? So they have a couple of conceptual albums - BD! Who hasnt?. OK Frank Sinatra has concept albums, is he prog, what about Beach Boys - prog? I Think Not! Its not enuff ot have concept albums to be termed prog. So what else is there a couple of time sig changes? Coheed and Cambria are alternative music! But that's all. 
 
 
 
OTOH, Yes KC Starless is incredible!
