The Most Haunting Prog Song(s)?

What Am I Doing Here? Moody Blues
I Talk to the Wind. King Crimson
Brave New World. Strawbs

 

One that instantly comes to mind is one the most obvious but it still is a haunting song none the less....

EL&P Still....You Turn MeOn

Also from the self titled Mannfred Mann's Earth Band (1972) I will have to select Sloth...

Sloth is a nightmarish instrumental ala early 70s Pink Floyd...

MMEB is such a fine LP,the band covers Dylan & Randy Newman and even adds a little humor unlike the other groups from that genre....

All of Can Tago Mago which is IMO the groups crowning achievement

Savage Rose is a Danish band that released a few fine LPs in the early 1970s...

And still recording today...

Your Daily Gift (1971) although is IMO their best record it also contains the marvelous Tapiola

 

And if you count early Queen as prog, then 'White Queen (As It Began)" and "In the Lap of the Gods" deserve mention.

 

Just a random one of many floating around my head

 

My pick for Van der Graaf Generator would be House With No Door.

 

One more contender:

 

The first two minutes of 'Mumps' by Hatfield and the North.

 

I'm not sure if Alan Parsons Project qualifies as prog (it does in my book), and I Robot has many haunting songs, but the closing track "Genesis Ch. 1. V.32" is pretty compelling.

 

1. King Crimson - Moonchild [edit]
2. Pink Floyd - Julia Dream
3. Strawbs - I Turned My Face Into the Wind
4. Strawbs - Oh How She Changed
5. Gentle Giant - Aspirations
6. Alan Parsons Project - Old and Wise
7. Van Der Graaf Generator - Killer
8. King Crimson - Starless
9. Pink Floyd - Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun
10. Marillion - Lavender
