Yeah, that's a great song too. It was not only their last great classic masterpiece... it's also the first (and only one) since the 70's glory days. Not to say there aren't any other great songs in the 80's and 90's (and even 10's, for me), but this is the one that really captured what they were all about in the 70's. Also, the live version on... I think it was Live at Montreux... with Wakeman on keyboards is very beatiful too, the piano intro really comes to life in a way that's really missing on the original one... too bad the orchestra is missing on that one. |
Yes I love the live version with Wakeman too.  When the song came out--I played it for a friend who liked 70's Yes---but moved on to other music---but when he heard ITPO---he said wow they captured the 70's magic .

Starship Trooper is great indeed, but after hearing the live version from Keys to Ascension, the original Wurm section sounds just too tame in comparison... Wakeman actually sort of stole the section from Howe with his added keyboard solos.

Went with "Yours is no Disgrace". That song is just too fun.

And You and I - the Eclipse section is one truly great bit of music!!
But it is looking at this list that makes me realise what a special band they were.

South Side of the Sky, because it's dark and unsettling, unlike most Yes songs.

Frankly, they all deserve a vote. Nice to be reminded of how many truly great songs Yes produced - and that's even before you take the epics into account. Knock out all four songs from TFTO plus Awaken, CTTE and Gates of Delirium, and you still have a range that is astonishing - Perpetual Change, Yours Is No Disgrace, AYAI, South Side of the Sky, Siberian Khatru, Roundabout, Heart of the Sunrise, plus all the others in this poll - and Parallels, The Ladder, New Language and Turn of the Century didn't even get a mention. It's no surprise that this is my all-time favorite band.

Has to be Roundabout for me. It was one of those songs I just had to learn on the acoustic guitar when in high school, like Stairway to Heaven, Mood for a Day, Behind Blue Eyes, and Dust in the Wind
