VOTE YOUR LEAST FAVORITE TRACK!

Rules are simple. Vote for your LEAST favorite track from this album. The song with the most votes will be eliminated. Since there are only 3 songs on this album, the very last song will go to the semi-finals, with the loser of the next round going to the consolation round.

1. Gates of Delirium
2. To Be Over
3. Sound Chaser

Poll closes around 1pm Wednesday April 25

As much as I like To Be Over, it can't hold a candle to Gates of Delirium an it's obvious who will win this.

I also find that To Be Over gets a bit messy in the second half.

To be Over, easily. It's good, but not among my favorite Yes. Gates is really one of their masterpieces.

To Be Over is beautiful, but it can't match the power and beauty of Gates of Delerium.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Gates is "art out of electronic orchestration" to quote a very famous British rock music critic. The sound is also thanks to Patrick's "rockaphonic" sound---and it is amazingly powerful---voted TBO.

Gates is one of the best piece of music Yes has ever written. As much as I love To be Over, I must choose it.

Pretty much this.  Howe provides the best moments of To Be Over with his wonderful melodic lines but he also overplays in a couple of places.  Gates of Delirum is probably the best thing Yes ever did.

To Be Over. Gates has more of musical ideas, even though it's quite a drag in the middle.
