I disagree; I think determining an ultimate prog song is easier than you think. It doesn't mean "single greatest," it means (if we're using the language correctly) something more like "single greatest example." Of course, there's still plenty of wiggle room, but I'd give that title to something like 21st Century Schizoid Man.

Me too... last night, the QPR DVD show (downloaded)
Certainly the greatest Yes song ever and possibly oen of the three greatest in prog period, with "Lizard" and "Supper's ready"

In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion

I'll take the ungiven option..  great song. . not the best they did... though agree with the thread  starter.. it came across much better live than the  Relayer cut.   With everything out there... calling it  a 'masterpiece' is cutting a bit thin.  A great song.. one of many they did.

masterpiece of prog, but not their best (that would be close to the edge or heart of the sunrise).

Actually, the ultimate prog song is CAN's Halleluwah... but to each his own.

In my opinion, the best Yes song ever AND a masterpiece of prog.  I was lucky enough to see and hear that song played live during the symphonic tour (something which took me by surprise) in Montreal.
 
If a song can make an album, Relayer is my favorite Yes album.

Definitely a masterpiece, maybe my favorite Yes song (CttE and the first two tracks from TFTO come close).

Certainly in contention for the title of "Best Yes song ever". I love the bit where Alan White comes in with the thunderous drumming (after the main battle sequence) which slows down and leads into Patrick Moraz's keyboard bit.

Not the ultimate prog-song. But definitly the best from YES.


I agree, best Yes piece ever!

Gates Of Delirium is the best Yes song I have ever heard but then I only have 3 of their albums (TYA, CTTE and Relayer). Its a damn good song, much better than anything else I have heard from them but I have heard much better songs. 
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
