| I'm not sure. I find both songs great and not so sure at the same time. Mostly, if we are talking about the original studio versions... in that case I guess the vote goes for Heart of the Sunrise. But from 21st Century I like much better the Ausbury Park (USA) version, and from Heart of the Sunrise I like better the ABWH version... however, in this case, I guess my preference goes to Schizoid Man. |

Heart of The Sunrise by a long shot; an easy top 10'er for me. Schizoid Man is still pretty great, though. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

I vote for the one that's a seven and a half minute long music revolution. Of course the other one is a classic as well. -------------

Schizoid... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

Heart of the Sunrise is a bit of a mess for me. Great parts but the structure isn't cohesive enough to me. 21st Century Schizoid Man is a good KC rocker; not something I'm compelled to spin too often though. Good tracks, both bands did better stuff IMO. Voted both. ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |

Gotta go with KC on this one....The Man is an incredible song from an incredible album that had a lot to do with changing the face of prog to come....at least imo. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

"Heart of the Sunrise" can be gorgeous, but it has these noodly bits that feel unnecessarily jarring and I do think it would be better if it were more cohesive and elegant. As a teenager when Fragile ranked amongst my favourite albums, I made a mix tape (double cassette player) where I tried to edit it to make it sound better to my ears. I vote for "21st Century Schizoid Man". It's not off an album that I've spun much for many years, but I do still dig it now and then. I do put that on a mix CD at one time, sandwiched between "Peaches en Regalia" and "Free Hand" as I recall. That song played a significant role in me getting back into progressive rock and exploring it more deeply. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

I'm using Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle on this one! Chickening out by choosing BOTH! Both classics for completely different reasons. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Given the time of it's release, it was not so much changing the face of prog, but shaping it. |

yeah that is some major league stuff man.. nice poll but Heart of the Sunrise still absolutely smokes 21st Century S.M in everything but not having Lake's awesome vocals.. but very little.. and not a damn thing by Crimson can stand against the 4 headed Squire, Howe, Wakeman, Bruford monster when on its game and this might have been the single best 'song' they did. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

| heart of the Sunrise is exhibit A for why I've never really taken to Yes. Schizoid is about my 10th favorite KC song and it's still better...it would lose to "Close to the Edge" and "And You and I" though |

Couldn't have said it better. They didn't fall into this problem often thankfully. I can see why it's so highly regarded though. ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |
