Gosh, they both are amazing, but "America" ... M! Thumbs Up ... 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:

Na-chaered palan-díriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon

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.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

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!

America is a great tune; Yes did it better. Thumbs Up I almost count it as a track on Fragile to make up for the somewhat lack of legitimate group compositions.
