| If I included 10 minute long songs there would be at least twice as many Yes tracks here probably so I had to narrow it down somehow. So for this poll the songs had to be fifteen minutes long or more. |

| The obvious choice would be Close to the Edge, but I'll go for Awaken. |

| I like all of them except Endless Dream depending on my mood--think CTTE, Awaken, Gates, Revealing are perfect or near perfect---Ritual while the opening and closing are beautiful, the middle part gets does ramble a little----but will have to vote for the obvious---CTTE. Although lately been listening to Awaken and Gates more. |

I don't know Endless Dream. For the others, the ranking is: Close to the Edge >= The Gates of Delirium > Awaken >> The Revealing Science of God >>>>>>> Ritual -------------

It's from the Talk album from 1994. It's worth hearing at least once.

| The one I like the least here is Ritual, for sure. Otherwise, I'm not sure between CttE, GoD, and Awaken. Actually, I'm glad Awaken is doing so well up to now... on previous similar polls it had not received so much love. On the other hand, Endless Dream deserves some more recognition, for I find it wonderful just the same (well, I guess as good as it is, it will be difficult for someone to vote for it over some 70's classic). I guess I'm going for Awaken this time. |

My all time favourite is Awaken, the epitome of symphonic prog to these ears. I have, however, been watching that fantastic live version of Gates of Delirium at Queens Park Rangers on YouTube quite a bit recently. The energy they produced for that was incredible. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org |

| ^ For me it's the symphonic live version of Gates that I feel as the definitive one. |

I honestly don't get the hate for "Ritual." It's one of the wildest things Yes has ever done but so is "the gates of delirium" and "ancient." I think it's a remarkable piece of music and maybe one of their most under rated. However, I think the version on yesshows is probably better than the one on tales.

I don't hate Ritual... I guess I don't even dislike it. I just don't like it so much. I guess it gets a bit annoying and repetitive in the chorus parts, and the instrumental section doesn't really do much for me. |

| ^I don´t hate it either like not any other Yes song. I just think it´s has some really boring moments like the percussion parts. Also that "nussissoleel" always cheers me (David knows why). To me it has always seemed their ideas end in that last part of their massive epic and they just have to put something in it to make it as long as those others. |

I see Awaken is getting quite a few votes, so I listened to it again to refresh my memory as to how great it is. But even so, I just had to vote for Close to the Edge.
