Awesome. I went to France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, and Switzerland to play concert band music.

But anyway Moon, all I've really listened to is Script for a Jester's Tear, but I haven't really listened to anything with Steve Hogarth.

I LOVE Marillion. I'd recommend Clutching at Straws, Misplaced Childhood, Season's End, and This Strange Engine.
Speaking of which, you should listen to that song. Fantastic keys on it.

Oh yeah, I noticed Heart of the Sunrise is somehow at number 106, it should easily be top 40, maybe even top 30. Don't know who put it down there.

I just don't see why it's impressive. There really isn't much other than chords and notes at the beginning.

It has the piano parts towards the end. I think top 40 is a bit hyperbolic, but I could see it within the top 100.

South Side of the Sky > Heart of the Sunrise.

Well thats a given.

Duh, South Side is brilliant. However, 30/40 was a huge, huge stretch, but 80's 70's doesn't seem unreasonable to me. It's not anything special compared to other works of his, but it's better than some later top 100 pieces we have, and somewhat more complex too

Is there even anyone here to edit this list?

I can and will, but you guys haven't been particularly active. All I did recently was add Hope for Happiness/Joy of a Toy by Soft Machine at 14 because it's that good and add Foreplay/Long Time by Boston.

Alright. Its not much of a start but I think most of us want Heart of the Sunrise to move up.

Most of us? I've heard just you and ClassicRockJunkie support it. Where would you guys see it, since it probably shouldn't be anywhere above 80.

Thats most of us because only three people have even been making posts. I'd think around eighty seven. I think the list is pretty solid though.

I'm thinking 89. Änglagård's keyboard playing happens to be better than Heart and it definitely isn't better than that Tony Kaye performance.

Sure, put it there. I'm not familiar with a lot of these to be honest. I'm just glad that its moving up at all.
