Love them both but voting for Starship Trooper because Steve Howe's guitar solo is simply one of the best ever

Agree classic guitar solo. Other than Roundabout - which was played incessantly on the radio at the time - have to go with the first song from Yes I ever really connected with the group - Starship Troopers.

I had to cast the tie vote. Both so perfect in their own way, I couldn't vote against either.

HotS for me. That middle section with the Bruford/Squire duet is unbeatable...and seeing them recreate that was by far the shining moment of the Union show back in '91

Both are masterpieces, but Heart of the sunrise is better for me.

Comparing the studio versions, I'd pick Heart Of The Sunrise, but I really enjoy all the different things they would do live on Starship Trooper more than either studio version (or live versions of HotS, which are still good!), so ST gets my vote.

hah....
easy vote for the song if one is lucky.. you can catch at the local dive downtown while enjoying a Jack and coke and keeping your head on a shivel for a knife in back.. which is hard with boxum milfs shaking their tits and asses in time with Squire's furious basslines in search of some green... |

Trooper easily. Sunrise just repeats itself

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Two absolute Yes classics! I'll take Starship Trooper because it's just too good, but Heart of the Sunrise is really wonderful as well.

Neither. Paul Kantner's Starship suite (side 2 of Blows Against the Empire) puts both to shame, especially when a reconstituted Jefferson Starship played it in the mid '90s.

Starship Trooper by a hair. I almost voted both equally but for some reason decided to go for ST. I guess it could have gone either way since both are easily in my Yes top ten. Also, it's worth mentioning that both songs are on the compilation album called "Classic Yes."

Now this is a hard one. To choose between these two great songs is almost impossible. I was first inclined to vote for "both equally", but after thinking hard for a while, I decide to go for "Heart of the Sunrise", but only by a very, very small margin, and mainly for very personal reasons.

I find Heart of the Sunrise good, but it can become a bit tedious. Starship trooper is great, so I go with it, even if the studio version sounds really tame and incomplete compared to later live versions. For some reason, I like the live version of Heart of the Sunrise by ABWH much better than the original one, I can't really point why, but it sounds less tedious and more powerful, so, whatever little thing they moved around just fixed it for me (however, other live versions with White on drums just doesn't work for me).

voted both equally---because Starship is a great prog song that takes you on a trip and of course Howes landmark guitar solo and Heart is so avant garde and cool and unique---with that jazzy middle section---so hard to choose one---
(^^also Dellinger been listening to a lot of live ABWH recently --I read Howe interview in Prog Mag and he describes ABWH as a "hot little band"---and it was --with so much future potential too bad Anderson and record companies messed it all up.)
