As individual entities, "And You & I" wins in a landslide. But to truly appreciated "Us & Them" it must be heard in the context of the entire DSOM album.
The poll needs one more choice: Both are freaking great.
That's my vote.

Pretty good = freaking great.

Sometimes we do understatement.

e.g. the idea that either of these approaches a negative quality never mind dreadful is utterly ridiculous. So it's a kind of reverse understatement.

Just want to compare how the main ballads of these obscure progtype non-entities do in the light of the battle of their respective contexts also being currently polled.

Both are very good without setting my soul on fire.

My favourite Yes song vs a good Pink Floyd song. Love both, but And You and I should win this hands down.

And You and I easily.  I'm not sure if "Us and Them" invented "plod rock" but it's the best example I can think of

And You and I----like all of CTTE never ceases to amaze. Timeless. Us and Them is very good. Not amazing.

Dig em both - I may have a slight preference for Yes here, a rare thing when compared with Floyd tbh.

Both are great songs, but I have to go with "And You And I".
