I went for Starship on impulse.  I think I might be more fond of Perpetual Change, which is my hairstyle. Tongue

Which brings me to my vote

I was going to vote Starship Trooper but the ending's a tad long winded.  I'll put in a vote for I've Seen All Good people, brings back some fond childhood memories.

I saw them last year performing the complete album and Starship Trooper takes all the praise.

One of my favourite albums by Yes, it was an absolute pleasure to witness them play this album in it's entirety on their recent UK tour.  Apparently it was the first time they'd ever played A Venture live.

As for the vote it has to be Starship Trooper, but I love I've Seen All Good People too.

Well I prefer all the Rick versions to the studio--voted Trooper but Yours is no DIsgrace a close 2nd. 

Well, two Steves and one Genbanks said it all.
They have spoken for me as well.

Perpetual Change.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Starship Trooper. 

The whimsical lyrics, the metaphor comparing man's accomplishment of flight to that of birds, the quest for knowledge, and the "higher self." Truly a stroke of Jon Anderson genius. 

.. Howe's solo isn't too bad either Tongue

One of the great rock albums in history.   No votes for 'Clap' ?   I'll throw my support.

I suppose its no great surprise that Trooper is winning. Includes that lovely jaunty mid section and then Howe gets his 'rocks off' on Wurm. What is there not too like?!
