Most beutiful moment in prog metal.

[Prismatic Sphere]

The ooooh ooooooh part after the solos in "A Winter's Dream" with Russell singing lead vocals straight back into that magnificent chorus.

Downright fucking magical.

 

[Matt]

Wait a second, I have to change my answer... The polyrhythm at the end of Communion and the Oracle.

I second that.

I think I seem to be alone in liking the 6 Degrees album. First prog album I ever listened to. Gees, brings back memories...

i love it. i'd find it hard to list only a few beautiful prog moments so here are a couple of my favourites from that album specifically;


Blind Faith - Piano solo at around 6:10

Disappear - Towards the end, up to and including the little touch of piano before the eerie outro. "So I'm moving on, I'll never forget as you lay there and watched me. Accepting the end, I knew you were scared. You were strong I was trying."

 

[1by4by9]

Ayreon - My House on Mars

I second that. Also the last verse of TDWOT and the ending.

 

[Yngvai X]

hmm, no one's mentioned the Carpe Diem section of Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons?

 

[Kenneth R.]

I think that's the weakest part of that song... the "I won't let them push me away" section is much better imo.

 

[bball_1523]

the interlude in "Absinthe and Rue" is nice

 

[MorphineChild205]

"So I'm moving on, I'll never forget as you lay there and watched me. Accepting the end, I knew you were scared. You were strong I was trying."

That part is so sad.

Now you did And count me in, so we are two.

 

[turke]

Also the chorus part of "Stonehenge - Fly"

"I am just a teardrop in God's eye,
Let me spread my wings and learn to fly,
Unwear all this human flesh and rise,
Ride the endless highways of the skies..."

Look at my signature

 

[Kenneth R.]

that whole song is amazing. especially the radio clips that really add to it

I am being a little shameless here but my post vanished as the last post in the page before, sorry for queting my own post :Spin:

 

[control-denied777]

manowar-hail and kill the part when Eric is screaming "rape their women as they cry,stabb them in the eye"

 

[Thraxz]

I change my mind, it is now "Lick My Lovepump" - Spinal Tap

 

[wchuck]

The beginning of the second part in Through the Looking Glass!!

 

[Kenneth R.]

I'm adding to mine:

Zero Hour - Rebirth
Pain of Salvation - Iter Impius.

 

[cold103]

I love Stream of Passion's "I'll keep on Dreaming". Especially the part where it gets heavy near the end of it. There's more of an emotional feeling made by the joining in of the instruments and Marcela's variation of the chorus there the last time she sings "Why did I ever think you'd come back to me". Of course you have to listen to the whole song to really enjoy that sort of build up.

Edit: Actually that last time that line is sung, the lyrics change slightly to "Why did I ever think you'd never leave me"

 

[Kronikle66]

I'm changing my answer to Opeth's "Hours of Wealth" from 1:02 - 2:24. I can't think of anything more beautiful than this.

 

[karelrulez]

Opeth - Bleak

The break featuring Steven Wilson, including the brilliant transition to cookie monster vocals later on.

Dream Theater - Octavarium.

The ending guitar solo.

Dream Theater - Pull Me Under

05:30, the mellow break and build-up, with the guitar solo following it. Awesome, especially the keyboard lead, great tone.

 

[Horus]

If there's gonna be simething from Images and Words, it might as well be my #2, the entire instrumental break in the middle of Metropolis 1.
