So true---Yes' last great classic masterpiece |
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.

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.

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 .

80 votes in total so far - I don't recall ever seeing so many votes in one poll. Funny, I thought Roundabout or And You and I would be the obvious choices, but look at all the love for other songs, especially Starship Trooper and Heart of the Sunrise. Even In the Presence Of got a vote (I'm very partial to it myself, but because some of the lyrics are a bit cringe-worthy, couldn't call it a top choice). Obviously the mid-lengths (of the best prog band ever) are as beloved as the epics. Who knew?

They are THE prog band. No one comes close.

wow. Over 3500 rating/reviews. I felt like I was a late comer when I did mine, and it was only in the 900's then.

I went for And You And I but in truth I could have picked any from the first 8 songs on the list.
I'm not so keen on Sound Chaser and I haven't heard the other three.
