Yes - Close to the Edge

It's simple. Prog rock/prog metal is epic, complex, instrumentally challenging, & beautifully written with intricate lyrics and themes. There's no denying it's heightened level of creativity. Close to the Edge is widely considered the greatest prog song of all time, and I can agree with that, so that's why I chose it. However, a lot of people don't care for music like this due to their short attention spans and/or their disregard for musical ingenuity in favor of simplistic party music & rehashed love/sex songs because they wanna fit in with the masses. This makes prog less popular, therefore it being criminally underrated. 🙂👍
