Life isn't fair !
 


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...

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).

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.

I can't mention more than one without making an extended list (which would take more than ten minutes to read too...) so I'm just going to say Starless.

Recycled  (admit it...  it's one song) if you could even call it a song. more like an, well you know  but really I have no favorites. I played "Recycled once at high volume and my bedroom literally, well you know
Favorites remind me of the time when I was a boy.I'm not even human anymore, at least right now. I'm catching a beer wave and I just got offa work and I don't give a hoot. Too many years have gone by.
