Voted The Remembering/High the Memory, one of my favorite songs of all time. All the others are of highest possible quality though if you ask me, if I had to rank them it would probably look something like this:

The Gates of Delirium

The Revealing Science of God

Close to the Edge

Ritual

The Ancient

But again, all of them are masterpieces to me.

At least that's been his own

High The Memory

There is something magical about The Remembing. I voted for that since it has a special place in my heart.

Though I have no idea how anybody can rank these great songs, they are all fabulous.

And....

How can you omit Awaken???

"Awaken" was omitted because it did not fill an entire side of the vinyl album. "Wonderous Stories" was the 1st song on side 2, followed by "Awaken". Wink

. It's the same story with "And You and I" which I consider another major Yes epic but alas it shared a side with "Siberian Khatru".

Mind Drive could possibly have been included as it would have occupied one side of vinyl had it ever been released on vinyl (it's only a few seconds shorter than CTTE).

I'd move Ritual up a couple of spots, but otherwise it's the same for me.

"Awaken" is my favorite Yes Epic, which wasn't listed on the poll (?) So I voted for "Revealing Science Of God," A very close second to Awaken.

The list only included songs that took up the entire side of an album. "Awaken" shared side 2 with "Wondrous Stories" Wink
