I've listened to Fabfare this morning in a live version from Greg Lake (King Biscuit Flower Hour)
So it gets my vote, otherwise it could have been Wonderous Stories. 
I'm a Floyd fan, but I've never loved Brick too much.

I found it hard to choose between ELP, Pink Floyd and Yes but as the latter was one vote behind the other two I voted for Wondrous Stories to leave at 3 on 11 votes Smile

Fanfare' over 'Brick as I absolutely loathe the latter.

Northern Lights is too much like actual pop for this forum's tastes whereas ABITW is a classic rock staple and Wonderous Stories is pretty much prog.   Personally, I did contribute one of the few votes for Northern Lights.  Had it been pitted against Comfortably Numb, I may not have but I have worn out ABITW now.

I was tempted to vote for fanfare but wonderous stories is just a great song. Besides ELP didn't actually write fanfare anyway.

Wondrous Stories? yawn.. which all goes for all that sh*t man...

pffff...    On the Silent Wings of Freedom.. now we are talking..  a top 5'r alltime song from Yes.. and BY FAR the best mainstream prog anyone from jolly old England did from the very late 70's. It quite simply... rules and kicks Micky levels of ass... even with the Casio keys haha

I believe the scored big hits in the late seventies.
