I have always wondered which one of the tales is the most popular with the gang here at Prog Archives. So, go ahead and make your choice. I think it will be a toss up between The Revealing Science of God and Ritual. I know what Micky is going to vote for, but what will the rest of you vote for?

My favorite Yes album of all time, with The Revealing Science a favorite track. The intro/outro is still moving after 30 plus years of listening......... ------------- And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Phillipians 2:11 |

| Great album. My choice is The Revealing Science Of God, followed by Ritual. The rest is slightly weaker, but still very good. |

| It's hard to choose because I always see the album as a whole piece. If I had to, I would go for The Remembering, Ritual, The Revealing Science of God and The Ancient in that order but it's a false list 'cos I absolutely love the dissonant guitar on The Ancient. |

| TRSOG does have the opening, but I think I'll say The Ancient for its high moments. |

I think this has been already done a few times.
Still Ritual for me, but I love the whole album.

There should be an "all of the above" option. Seriously, I never listen to any of these tracks in isolation, only the entire album is appropriate for me (though, of course, I have the Keys albums so with the first one I do hear Revealing by itself, as well as Yesshows where Ritual is by itself............but I make exceptions for live shows). I guess if I was forced to choose.......................no, can't do it. The first and last are the best overall I think, but I still couldn't say they are better than the middle two. |

I only heard the album once, and didn't pay *any* attention to the lyrics.

| Since I discovered the live version on Keys To Ascension: The Revealing Science. Still, Ritual comes close. |

| I would say "The Ancient", but really it's almost impossible to make a choice. I do feel "The Remembering" is a bit weaker than the other three but it still has wonderful moments, particularly in the middle with the juxtaposing of acoustic sections with more "rock" passages, as well as with some lush keys by Wakeman. |

As a whole The Revealing bla bla bla... but the best part of the album is the acoustic guitar section in The Ancient... too bad the other half is the worst part of the album ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

| While "The Revealing Science of God" is my favorite Yes track in their entire discography, it tends to be a tough choice between the four since I enjoy listening to the album in its entirety. "The Remembering" is a close second, and "Ritual" a very close third. |

The Revealing Science of God for me. I enjoy the entire Tales From Topographic Oceans album but that song just has that little extra something that makes it stand out for me. ------------- If you lose your temper, you've lost the arguement. -Proverb |

The Revealing Science of God. I love the themes a tiny bit more than the themes of the other movements, but it IS just a tiny bit. It also gets my vote for the most blistering synth solo I've ever heard in 6/8 or 3/4 there toward the end. The Ancient a close second because I love that weird Bruford percussion and I love the "And I heard a million voices singing" section. Heck - it's all good. I don't care what Wakeman thinks. |

Before you guys jump on me - I meant Bruford-LIKE percussion. I know that Alan White played on that album. |

Aw man, I thought we were going to get to vote on tunes off of Primus' Tales From The Punchbowl.

I missed that one. I must have been on vacation. Anyway, I had a feeling side one would be the most popular and now I know.
