... and it'll be worth the money you spent!!!! Wonderful, a real masterpiece, IMO even better than subterranea. If we are talking about epics, here we can find one of the IQ's best, the title track!!!!!! But there are also other great track as, for example, Guiding Light above the others....... Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,  ;D ;D ;D

Good listening!!!
Thanks, I already know 'Wrong side of weird', which is a great song. I heard 30 seconds of the other songs and it made me order the album.

Here is the 'Best Epic' poll!
I was doubted between Grendel from Marillion and Moviedrome, they are both great songs. But I don't understand that You put the song House of Marillion in the list, this is an awful song (like Vader Abraham in my list of best Bands), You should have chosen "Interior Lulu" but House....... how can You choose such a dreadful song. Another Marillion suggestion would be "Ocean Cloud" or "A few words for the dead", "Estonia" those songs ar nice, but House.........

Wonder where the river flows, and the blood on the River bed
Poison lies to close to us, Reach across the salt and Sand

Still no-one else who voted for the magnificent "Supper's Ready" by GENESIS... :'(
It's a very good song...

I know this is an Arena forum so I know that either Moviedrome or Solomon will come out as "The Best".
Which is no problem of course.

But the mighty GENESIS deserves more than one vote really.

I voted it too.
Same reasons: first epic, the ultimative climax, that bodyshaking feeling and i´m completly out of order every time I heard this song.

In fact: mostly ALL listed Titels are favourite tracks of mine; Grendel, SOYCD, Solomon, etc.

Other "Masterpieces" not listed here:
Genesis: The Musical Box
Genesis: Cinema Show
Marillion: Invisible man (!!!)
Marillion: Script for a jesters tear
Marillion: Fugazi
Arena: Sirens
Arena: Opera fanatica
Pink Floyd: Sheep
Pink Floyd: Sorrow
Archive: Again (!!!)
Archive: Wast
Yes: Endless Dream
Yes: And you and I
Neil Young: Change your mind
Neil Young: Cortez the killer
IQ: The seventh house
IQ: The last human gateway
Pendragon: The Voyager
Pendragon: Guardian of my soul
... tbc

What do you think of?

Now Keyboardist Matt has the same problem as me with my Best Band thing, people wanting to split up Marillion in 2 different bands, I thought when I begin with that there'll be no end. I thank Keyboardist Matt helping me out with beginning another poll favourite Marillion Albums. Once You make a choice Yourself and stick with it otherwise You'll get lost.

yes.... I also think that The Flower Kings are the great missing band from this poll.....
especially because almost their masterpieces are epics!!

Nevermind.... we could vote them in another poll!  ;)

Too many to choose from nedd more than one vote. ???

My vote went to "Suppers Ready",one of my first ever live shows was Genesis with PG and I was totally blown away by "Suppers ready" that night. :)

Because he had goodness
Because he was moral

That was deliberate, but the choices are there, and, well, that's that! ;D
