* [[The Mars Volta]] has the EPIC [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCySloH18MQ "Drunkship of Lanterns"]. Seriously, try saying with a straight face that this song isn't awesome. Regardless of what you think of the band, you can't deny this song's utter epicness. Particularly the last 3 minutes.
** Ditto with [http://www.indyarocks.com/videos/Aberinkula--The-Mars-Volta-1127301 "Aberinkula"]{{Dead link}}.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C0F7eFxhXM "Day of the Baphomets"] is utterly awesome. Everything about the song is badass. From the bass solo to the dueling guitar/saxophone bsolo to the crazy percussion solo, everything just works to form one of TMV's best
* [[King Crimson]], just about the most influential and acclaimed prog rock band other than Pink Floyd. Most of their songs fit the crowning moment easily.
Line 32:
** There's a good reason why ''Close to the Edge'' has been rated more than once as the #1 progressive rock album of all time.
** Especially the segment "I Get Up I Get Down," with the organ flourish at the end. Chills.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20120207083345/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4495810184823255589 "The Gates of Delirium"]. Between that and "Sound Chaser", you'll be wondering why ''Relayer'' gets bashed.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBP6lFU-J2M "Homeworld"].
** "Fly from Here", proof that even without Jon Anderson, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzoNTYTSufY they're still in excellent form.]
Line 45:
* The year is 1989. For the first time in its history, a Grammy is given for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. The award is given to Jethro Tull for ''Crest of a Knave''. '''Over ''Metallica'''''. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]?
** Tull's record company published a press ad with a picture of Ian Anderson's metal flute, with the headline: This is a metal instrument.
* [[Tool]] - The full version of "10,000 Days". Yes, the one where you have to mix 3 songs together just to hear the epic. "It's time now!/My time now!/Give me my!/Give me my wings!" If that doesn't send a chill down your spine when you hear it, you may not be human. Listen to it in its epic entirety [https://web.archive.org/web/20110602010223/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7561446930451621805#docid=-1964159914964761664 here.]
** [[Tool]] does have their share of CMOAs that aren't quite so long; "AEnema" anyone?
*** The ending part of "Eulogy". Or "Parabola". Or most of ''Undertow''.
