I think these are the other strongest contenders, though I'm not totally sold on my Jethro Tull pick. It might actually be Baker St. Muse, but of course Aqualung gets a lot of love as an album, and I think this is the track to point to if you've got to point to a track from it.

-------------
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Much better list than the other one. Vote Echoes but Starless or Aqualung would also deserve my vote, actually all of them.

Really difficult--I'm conflicted---I'm very close to the edge of voting for Suppers Ready.

Genesis > Yes > KC. I never get tired of listening to Supper.

CTTE still resonates a lot with me. It's such a fun listen and a brilliant pc of music.

Much tougher to decide than the last one.
No way I can choose between Starless, Edge, Tarkus, Echoes, and Supper. I can at least rule out Aqualung, but even that one is pretty fantastic.
Thus, I shall abstain.

Even though there are songs I do like better from the other list, I think this is mostly a better selection.

Echoes. Not only my favorite Floyd but also one of my favorite songs of all time. If it wasn't on the list I would have gone for Tarkus.

When you listen to (most) of these - it's the best song in the world at the time of listening.  I always go for first love with 'impossible' polls like this so it is Tarkus which re-opens the old debate about the superiority of the 'Welcome Back' version which features the stunning, extended Aquatarkus.

Oh there's not a single track on that live album that isn't the superior of it's studio counterpart. ELP thrived in a live setting where they would miss the mark in the studio.
