- Yes, "Close to the Edge" From: Close to the Edge(1972) How did Yes do this? Seriously? Even beyond the vast emotional impact of "Close to the Edge," this 19-minute rock symphony is a marvel of construction — like any towering skyscraper or suspension bridge.
- Genesis, "Supper's Ready" From: Foxtrot(1972) It's a guaranteed eternal perfect prog-rock song. But it's also demented: Peter Gabriel delightfully inscrutable text nods to Egyptian pharaohs, Christian theology, Greek mythology, "Winston Churchill dressed in drag" and shadowy, supernatural beings; meanwhile, the band cooks up everything from layered 12-strings to treated pianos to carnivalesque pop hooks — and somehow it all hangs together, adding up to a 23-minute spectacle longer than most sitcom episodes.
- King Crimson, "21st Century Schizoid Man" From: In the Court of the Crimson King(1969) We'll all be debating "the first prog song" until we're dead, but it's hard to argue against "21st Century Schizoid Man."
- Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody" From: A Night at the Opera(1975) Queen are one of those classic fringe-prog bands. A good portion of their early work fits the bill of grandiosity — on the other hand, no one's mistaking "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" for a Yes tune.
