Two of my all time favorites square off and the wrong song is winning...
HotS is the best song I've ever heard.

Sorry but to me "starless"(the song) is over rated. If it wasn't for the title track(which I still admit is the best on the album)the album would not be praised as much as it is.

there's no such thing as "wrong' song or wrong band winning in a poll. Everyone votes for their favorite, that's all.

Heart of the Sunrise is one of my favorite Yes tunes and one of those prog songs that when I heard it just blew me away. (Much like Tarkus in that regard) 

Starless is pretty cool but, for me, can't compete with Heart.

Heart of the Sunrise is awesome but Starless is much like a classic lament or a threnody that touches hearts and minds far beyond just the progfans. Its also one of my favourite pieces of music.

Both are great. This is obvious. HOWEVER... I think "Starless" is superior.

There can be only one...

I adore Heart of the Sunrise, but Starless is the best thing King Crimson ever did for me, so Mr Fripp gets my vote!

"Starless," easily. In the past couple years, I've started to find "Heart of the Sunrise," as well as "South Side of the Sky" pretty tedious. They kill Fragile for me, a bit.

Starless. Heart is not my favourite Yes songs, of course it´s great anyway.

If Heart was being pitted against any other song I'd pick it, but Starless is my favorite in all of existence. (This is about the only occasion that I'd pick anything over Chris Squire's bass, but as you could get from my username, I got a favorite).

I like Starless. But based on the adulation I see from people on this forum, I think it is overrated. There are a LOT of tracks I prefer over Starless.
 
I like Heart of the Sunrise. But it isn't in my top 3 on Fragile.
 
But I do prefer Heart of the Sunrise over Starless.
