Vangelis/Jon Anderson: So Long Ago, So Clear
Love the first three, never listened to the last. Thanks for sharing.

It's the closing of side A of Heaven & Hell. Jon Anderson wrote the lyrics, but the record is Vangelis only, since everything else is instrumental (and chorus). A very powerful record.

BTW: Some more - Marillion: Script For a Jesters Tear, Grendel, Jigsaw.

By Yes my favourite album is Fragile (forgive my poor english but i can't concept the Yes without Bill Bruford)... @fmr: Grendel is wonderful... 18min circa of pleasure!!!

PS: Love 70' Prog Rock... The first time i heard "Chelsea Monday" from Marillion perhaps i've start to cry...

A song needs .... vocals!

From the top of my head, it would be something like this:

Kraftwerk - The Model
Gary Numan - The Aircrash Bureau
OMD - Sealand

prince - the cross, beautiful ones.
massive attack - teardrops.
throbbing gristle - discipline, white and sticky, hot on the heels of love.
various artists -all the pretty horses.
johnny cash, willie nelson and kris kristofferson - the highwayman.

just some favourites out of many.

Sponge-plowed
Inspiral Carpets-Two worlds collide
anything from Alice in Chains Jar of Flies

-because the singers don't hold onto notes too long, like they know nothing about consciousness. Take it like a man.

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. The last guitar solo moves me like anything else I've ever heard.

Why did you feel the need to include "Female Artist" in your list? It's just a matter of "political correcteness" isn't it? If Kate Busch didn't deserve to be in any of the other categories, why not simply leave she out? Why create a special "female" category. AFAIK "female" is not a musical quality.

Besides that, great list

BTW - Gymnopedie nº 1 is not a song - is a piano piece.

@hibidy: an interesting choice! Made me go back and listen to Superunknown and DOTU for the first time in ages...! What a great band that was (is).

Another another favourite all time song here... it's not like it encapsulates everything I love about music, but it's damn close; like watching a Universe being born, grow old, and die in a fiery cataclysm:

Favourite all time song
