Epic = at least 10 minutes, loosely defined

Nope, not quite that long, but at 7 minutes I kinda thought we might be in the ballpark.

On this list, hands down side one of '2112'. Rush incorporated the "PROG" without leaving the ROCK behind! In short order, they'd nailed it and as a result TRULY became RUSH! ...

There is no album from Soft Machine called Out-Bloody-Rageous
unless you're referring to the anthology.

This thread is about epic-length prog songs, not prog albums.
