Nope.  Not all of us are in agreement.  In fact, I would rank CttE 4th, behind Supper's Ready, TAAB, and Echoes. 


I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I can't decide between CTTE and TAAB. The rest are also amazing, and barely fall behind those two.

The Gates of Delirium should also garner some consideration.

I'd go with Supper's Ready, incredible song (though many of the other songs in this poll are amazing as well).

Echoes, I haven't read the other titles.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

And seriously, what is it that gives people such a buzz about "Supper"?

I mean that with Echoes in the list I don't care of what the other epics are, even when the list includes Close To The Edge, Starless and Thick As A Brick.

Echoes is my favorite song of my favorite band so I couldn't prefer anything else without falling in contradiction with myself.

That's the meaning of the word "read". Of course I know quite well all the tracks in the list. 

I don't like Supper's Ready.

TAAB
Think Starless is as good, but TAAB wins in this context due to its extra Epicness (is that a word ?)
Then:
Supper
Echoes
Close
 
The rest dosent mean that much to me, would be well down my list.

I love all of those with immense fury and passion, but Echoes just edges it for me. Love at first listen.

It's got to be A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers for me.

A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers is not music, it's something more.
1- A plague..
2- Supper's Ready
3- Starless & CttE
4- the rest
