hell of a track (and album)
 
I'd probably go for some ELP but its difficult to pick one from this lot
The Barbarian
Hoedown
Aquatarkus
Toccata
Fanfare For The Common Man
 
so....
 
Rick Wakeman - Ann Of Cleves
as much for Alan White as ole Ricky
 
none of those are in the link though and having no ELP is a bit of an oversight which suggests not a lot of knowledge in the selections

^Yep, as usual a shortage of ELP love. I would add to your list: Three Fates, Abaddon's Bolero, Tank (Works Volume 1 version).

Ritt Mickley - named after Patrick Moraz tried to tell Lee Jackson and Brian Davision that the piece should be played "rhythmically". Speaking of Refugee, Papillon is another good one, and also:
Pilgrim's Progress/Catalan/Chalkhill - Greenslade
Forever and Ever - Dave Greenslade
Bring Out Your Dead/Valentyne Suite - Colosseum
The Pilgrim/Alone/Lullabye/Handy - Wishbone Ash
Sylvia/Focus II/Birth/La Cathedrale de Strasbourg/House of the King - Focus
King Henry's Madrigal/Bouree - Jethro Tull
Fibonacci's Number - If

Probably plenty of others I've forgotten. All those Camel ones on the list and no mention of my favourite Rhayader. From the ones that are on the list I'd go for Trio - Ennio Morricone, Spectral Mornings - Steve Hackett, One of These days/Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd.
"And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!"

Magnetic Fields Part 1 by Jean Michel Jarre for me. 17 minutes long. Really changed my life when I heard that track as a kid. I was obsessed with it and would listen to it over and over and over...
