Top Ten Progressive Rock Instrumentals

The Top Ten

1 YYZ - Rush

why is there no king crimson

2 Toccata - Emerson Lake and Palmer

3 Hoedown - Emerson, Lake and Palmer

4 One of These Days - Pink Floyd

5 The Dance of Eternity - Dream Theater

6 La Villa Strangiato - Rush

So far ahead of it's time but timeless nevertheless.Great variations and on point live and in studio. Marvelous craftsmen true to their values despite initial unacceptance. YYZ is a great effort but La Villa Strangiato will forever be a go to classic for me.

7 Fanfare For The Common Man - Emerson Lake & Palmer

8 Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield

9 Any Colour You Like - Pink Floyd

10 Nutrocker - Emerson, Lake and Palmer

The Contenders

11 The Spider - Kansas

From the classic album Point of Know Return, this 2 minute keyboard heavy song gives Rick Wakeman a run for his money.

12 Masquerade - Yes

By far the best thing from Union.

13 The Clap - Yes

The first of many exceptional Steve Howe acoustic pieces.

14 Canario - Emerson Lake and Palmer

15 Marooned - Pink Floyd

16 When the Water Breaks - Liquid Tension Experiment

17 Dryad of the Woods - Pain of Salvation

18 Section 60 - Kansas

A beautiful tribute to our fallen soldiers and one of best things from the Prelude Implicit.

A beautiful tribute to our fallen soldiers.

19 Musicatto - Kansas

By far the most the most progressive track off of 1986's Power and incredibly catchy.

Vet 80's but extremely awesome.

20 The Devil's Triangle - King Crimson

21 Peaches en Regalia - Frank Zappa
