These two songs are similar in length and sound, so which do you like better? i'd have to say xanadu. it makes me really feel like im searching for a lost utopia whereas and you and i doesnt do much for me. |

I don't think they are similar in sound, 'And you and I' has that beautiful, Rich acoustic guitar, and that atmospheric mid section. Whereas 'Xanadu' is more of a hard rocker, With that excellent build up at the start. My vote goes to 'And you and I'  ------------- My computer's broke |

I'm sorry but for me, this is another one of those 'comparing apples with typewriters' situations... ...but I've gone for Xanadu, although I love both tracks. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

| 'And You And I' is the only song that gets a five minute standing ovation when it's played mid-set. Out of all the concerts I've been to, I have never known any other bands song achieve this! |

I would choose Xanadu.....why? Simple really. I like it a lot more than "And You and I". In fact I find the Yes one a bit tedious. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I also find And You And I very tedious and i find myself reaching for
the skip button. xanadu is very captivating while "And You and I" has
the impressive acoustic guitar, thats fine, but i can never get the
emotion that most rush songs evoke from Yes. Yes, to me, feels empty
most of the time. plus they totally sold out. "owner of a lonely
heart"? pfft ill pass XANADU > AND YOU AND I |

sure with technical proficiency and complexity And You And I has rush
beat, but what track makes you FEEL more. xanadu gives me shivers down
my spine, it makes me feel as if i really am searching for "the last
xanadu", that wonderful paradise. And You And I????, makes me feel absolutely nothing at all... -------------  listen to Hella |

Both are great songs, but I really don´t find them similar. My vote goes for And You and I ------------- Discipline is never an end in it self, only a means to an end. |

Impossible to decide... especially when I compare version from Exit..Stage left to studio version of AYAI. Both are 10/10. Maybe Xanadu this time.

I will.  "And You And I" is my least favourite track on CTTE, while "Xanadu" is one of my all-time favourite songs - not the least because of the literary connection.Edit: Micky'll sure dump me after that...  |

It's hard to choose, both are totally different. I would have given a lot of points to both of them if I could have done that. Maybe Xanadu is a masterpiece of prog rock and I like this song, but sincerely, at my point of view, And You and I deserves more clappings  Emotionally, it touches me more.------------- ~ L'ordre est le plaisir de la raison, mais le désordre est le délice de l'imagination ~ |

Xanadu by a million light years away!!! In fact if humans decide to preserve a piece of art as testimony of how beautiful things can be I'll suggest Xanadu 02/20/1978 yes the Hammersmith Odeon version found on Different Steges Live: The best 12:33 minutes of music in life.

| No surprise that 'And You & I' is walking this one. It's by far much , much superior to Xanadu ,which is a good song though! |

Xanadu is an excellent song.
And You And I can bring me to tears with its beauty.
AYAI wins for me.

| And You and I never really impressed me. Actually that whole album never really impressed me. Now that I think of it, Yes never really impressed me. Xanadu rocks though. |

Xanadu wins hands down for me, becuase it is just a much better crafted song in my opinion. I do like And You And I, but Xanadu was the second Rush song i heard after Farewell to Kings and is still up there with the classics -------------
