Not among my favorite Yes albums. Big Generator gets my vote.

Rabin always wanted to write pop hits--as he said like Genesis did---but Genesis were great writers--he wasn't very successful at it but" Love will find a way" is his best pop song---he wrote it for Stevie Nicks but she didn't go for it.

One of the albums I like least from Yes. It should be between Shoot High and Holy Lamb... but since I guess Holy Lamb will be utterly ignored on this poll I'll go with it.

I'm Running, because the chorus is basically Tequila, which makes it the only interesting thing happening on that album.

I do like the title of that last song. 
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

This is far from my favourite Yes album and I rarely play it.

I'm Running is probably the best of the tracks on offer

Guess I'll go with Big Generator for this one.
Not one of albums that sees a lot of time on the turntable.

Funny story here - when I got this on cassette when it came out (I still have it) I slept with it under my pillow !! I thought it was the ‘bee’s knees’. I haven’t listened to it for years, but I remember almost every note of it.

I like this record. Not as much as 90125 or Union, but well enough. I just wish it sounded better. It's very thin and kinda lifeless.

My pick is "I'm Running."

Hey, Holy Lamb is a great song.  Made my tears flow several times.
