Which of these two cover songs do you prefer? I pick the one with the longer title.

Gosh, they both are amazing, but "America" ... M!
 ... It's just better.
They've a-a-a-a-a-all co-o-o-o-ome to look for Ame-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-erica-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. Plus, the final instrumental section is ... is just awesome.

America, obviously. Try to compare your results with my older poll:

^ Whoa!
 ... Let's see how it will turn out this time given only two choices and a new row of PA membership.

Definitely No Opportunity Necessary: mindblowing track.
America is quite good too, though!

No Opportunity is a great song indeed, but their treatment of America is brilliant. Howe's extended solo is a textbook example of structure.

Without searching I figured there would have been a similar poll, but I just wanted these two songs. Btw, I did just vote; I have a habit of making a poll then coming back later to vote in it. |

Arrrgh!! I'm partial to both, but "America" for me!!
I'm also very fond of the Beatles cover, "Every Little Thing"....Peter Banks really shines on this one! Edited by cstack3 - November 30 2012 at 12:17 |

I think 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' has the best Yes cover.

I almost count it as a track on Fragile to make up for the somewhat lack of legitimate group compositions.
