Awaken is one of Yes' best epics, and among the best ever written. Wins over Dogs (for me) by a hair.
I am a Rush fan, but their longest epics (2112, and the second instalment of Cygnus X1 on Hemispheres) are not nearly my favourite tracks of theirs.

I guess for me it would be Awaken just over Dogs... and then a bit behind 2112. I love them all, though.

"Awaken," but depending on my mood, I could vote for "2112," too. Either one over "Dogs."

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

This is a tough one. I like them all for different reasons. The beginning of 2112 through the Temples of Syrinx awesome but I feel it drags out a little after that so it was a toss up between Awaken & Dogs. I went with Dogs but ask me tomorrow & it will probably be Awaken.

This---Awaken besides being Jon's fav piece of Yes---is a powerful prog masterpiece---the guitar work is gorgeous ---showing Howes amazing abilities---and Rick's powerful keys ---also love what White does throughout . Also believe what Moraz said--that big finale build up where the chord changes are so in your face--"Master of time setting sail"....part----Moraz said he came up with that before being booted out.

I love Yes. A lot. But "Awaken" is vastly overrated. "2112" for me.

Three fantastic pieces of music, it's indeed a hard choice. Not by much but I'll go with Awaken.
