Best long prog song?

[adaher]

By "long", I'm talking about over ten minutes, preferably over fifteen.

Here's the ones that I can think of off the bat:

Dream Theater-Change of Seasons
Dreamscape-End of Light
Symphony X-Divine Wings of Tragedy



I'd have to say my favorite would be End of Light, followed by Change of Seasons, then Divine Wings of Tragedy. Honorable mention to another Symphony X song, The Odyssey.

Any other nominees or favorites? And how is that Circus Maximus song? Have any of you heard it yet?

 

[Pellaz]

Green Carnation, "Light of Day, Day of Darkness"

Opeth, "Black Rose Immortal"

Edge of Sanity, "Crimson"

60 minutes, 22 minutes and around 40 minutes, respectively.

DT-A Change of Seasons
Anyone's Daughter-Adonis
SX-DWOT

Circus Maximus-The 1st Chapter
Lalu-Pot Boy The Final Fantasy

 

[FatesFan]

Fates Warning- Pleasant Shade of Gray........70+ minutes

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

That's easy. Rush "2112". The greatest first side of an album ever created by man!

 

[J-Man]

Here are my Four choices:

Nightwish: Ghost Love Score
Dreamscape: End of Light
Shadow Gallery: First Light (a whopping 36:18)
Empty Tremor(with Oliver Hartmann) The Alien Inside

There are more i would love to include, but the requirements were over 10 minutes, and there are tons that are less but just as good as these four. Dang i forgot Pagan's Mind any song from Celestial Entrance, and Orphaned Land Mabool.

 

[nightwish58]

Superior "Why" is one of the most incredible song I have ever heard!!! Although it may clock in at just under 10 minutes, screw it!!! That song will always be in my top 5 favorite songs of all time.

 

[Kenneth R.]

EoS: Crimson
Zero Hour: Demise & Vestige

 

[Stardust2112]

That's easy. Rush "2112". The greatest first side of an album ever created by man!

Yes! And don't forget "Hemispheres."
