From: Fact and Fiction ; Year: 1982; Genre: Progressive Rock You gotta love prog/rock bands and their epic, multi section, opuses greater than radio airplay would allow.

From: Art & Illusion ; Year: 1984; Genre: Progressive Rock Surprised that I have not picked a song from second-wave prog rockers Twelfth Night yet.
