Line 87:
* The band Dead Letter Circus. All of their songs probably count, but standouts include "Here We Divide", "One Step" and "The Space On the Wall".
* If you ever thought [[The Eighties]] didn't produce any good prog (besides perhaps [[Marillion]]) then [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWOugKLRaNQ I'll be very happy to prove you wrong with "Outer Limits" from IQ]. Dated 1985 and suitably epic in scope. There is no soul left to save in you if the climax of the song doesn't do anything for you:

* Chicago's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQkGQHnwVjE "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon"] was one of the first successful prog-rock epics from a non-British band. And "Elegy", from which [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pona5KNmkJk "The Approaching Storm"] is one of its movements, is arguably the proto-"Starless", from the haunting poetry to the atonal middle section. Yeah, there was a day when ''Chicago'' out-King Crimsoned King Crimson.
