I'm afraid to put near 20 minute songs, because Dogs is my favorite song of all time. Also, I think #9 will win on this one, just from what I hear the PA say about it. |

Probably 6 Degrees, Octavarium, or Thick as a Brick. I'm not really a DT fanboy but those are really well-constructed pieces, though I have a hard time thinking of 6 Degrees as a whole, cohesive piece.

You have to reveal your weird abbreviates (SDOIT, TFTO pt 1, 2, or 4), otherwise it´s unfair!

I only own it on Score. So.... yeah. But thinking about it, since I did that, I could put every concept album ever written on here. So... lets just pretend it's one 40 minute song. |

So far, seems like I'm always running with the crowd, so Supper's Ready--Genesis' best work. .... BUT, just barely. In a very very close second would be Gates of Delirium. I think Octavarium and Echoes would tie for 3rd.

From this list AHM although TAAB, 2112, Echoes and Supper's ready are all great.

Tough call between Thick as a Brick and A Change of Seasons, went with the latter as it needs more support. I dont consider 6 Degrees as a single epic but as 8 loosely conected songs. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

In this list, the legendary Supper's Ready! Though lately I've been listening to a lot of ELP and I really love Karn Evil 9! If I had to vote for others I'd choose Karn Evil 9 for a change. |

Honestly, Supper's Ready is one of the most boring 20+ songs Can I suggest Focus' song Eruption should be here? Anyhow I vote for Echoes. |

Thick As a Brick, no question. Echoes a very close second, and I like a lot of the others too. f**k me Supper's Ready is overrated though. It's decent, but not particularly good and certainly not deserving of the praise it gets. Much like the rest of Genesis. Selling England is a good album, that's about it. |

My genuine favourite is something from this album, by the way:
Probably A or B. C isn´t over 20 minutes and D is´t in fact Euphony, but rather Cacophony. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

I do not vote Genesis because I'm proggie, I became proggie because I like Genesis. So I vote Genesis because I like them and not because I'm proggie. Supper's Ready is superb and far better than almost all (or maybe all) the others 20+ minutes tracks I`ve listened.

From the list my favourite two are Echoes and Gates Of Delirium.
I'd usually take Echoes based on the studio versions, however if the Yesshows version of Gates is considered that would sway things in that direction. That is truly awesome.

Have you heard the Gates version from Yes Symphonic live DVD?, that's just awsome. And then theres Gilmour's version of Echoes from "Remember that Night", more powerful and the solos better played (though the comeback to music after the screaming guitars is still better on the original version). If you haven't heard this versions then you must get them (oh, by the way, both are available on CD too). |

| ^ Well, it's just about the same, or at least I wasn't able to find too much of a diference when I tried to compare them. I think there's a bit of the distinctive sound of Wright's Farsian (or whatever the name of his old keyboard is) on the Gdansk version. |

Atom Heart Mother with marching rhythms and disciplined feel? Hehe Ron Geesin did say he should have moved the bar lines over by one beat to make sure the orchestration would be on the same page as the Floyd. But he did it all... bar by bar. On the score that is, not on a pub crawl... Yep, made me laugh. I had been just re-reading some comments from RW and DG about how they thought it was so awful. Thankfully I like Zeuhl and Atom Heart Mother. |
