Not a single weak song there. Love 'em all. Voted for South Side... Squire and Bruford absolutely nailed it imo.

All are great and a testament to how great Yes was at their creative peak---love them all but gave AYAI because no one voted for it!

Really hard between Starship Trooper, Roundabout, South Side of the Sky, And You And I, and Machine Messiah. I guess I could trim it down to South Side of the Sky and And You And I... but I just can't choose between those two.

All great tracks, but And You and I has always stood out for me.

Great list of songs but the best is And You and I, followed by Starship Trooper and Perpetual Change.

Hard choice this is, but I'll go with Heart of the Sunrise, only by a tiny hair over And You and I, a a full hair from the rest.

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

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.

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

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.
