Prog Epics

[LittleTortillaBoy]

Someone mentioned prog epics on DT topic, so I decided to start a new one where will list and recommend to each other our favourites
So, here's one that first came to my mind:

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

Arena's Moviedrome.
This band is rarely mentioned around here, and the song is excellent, so it's my pick.

 

[Postulate]

My favorite epic is Lizard, by King Crimson.

Pt. 1


Pt. 2


Pt. 3


Pt. 4


Pt. 5


Other great epics:

IQ - The Last Human Gateway
Univers Zero - The Funeral Plain
Fates Warning - The Ivory Gate of Dreams

 

[Postulate]

Arena's Moviedrome.
This band is rarely mentioned around here, and the song is excellent, so it's my pick.

Arena is fantastic! I love Contagion.

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

^ They deserve a LOT more praise, imo.

I'm excited for their new album!

I learned British English in school

Back to topic... Here's another gem:

 

[Postulate]

I learned British English in school

And I learned Mexican Spanish. ¡Me cuelgo!

Here's another one that I think would appeal to prog metallers as well.

 

[_Gentleman of_the Snow_]

^Guess someone has to mention the most obvious classics.

 

[PurpleDink]

We're talking besides the Odyssey correct?

 

[donKyle]

The Odyssey? Sounds interesting.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Speaking of obvious classics...

Yes - The Gates Of Delirium (just part 1, but you should be able to find your way from there)

King Crimson - Starless (the best prog song of the 70s in my opinion, and it's not even a close call)
