| Hmm.. basically King Crimson's best vs. Yes' best. I prefer KC as a whole, but I really can't choose between these tracks. |

Not really indeed. I cote for Close to the Edge here, but I'll launch another poll in which Starless will be matched against another song which has more similarity to it. -------------

Starless. I love CTTE, but Starless has the same impact on me now as when I first heard it. Close to the Edge less so. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I'm listening to "Starless" right now. Beautiful piece of music, but it cannot touch the majesty of "Close to the Edge."

Close to the Edge is brilliant, but I'm going to have to say that Starless wins this one for me. It left a greater impression on me once I got it. As far as the Close to the Edge album goes, I prefer the second side to the first anyways. ------------- All your hearts now seem so far from me, It hardly seems to matter now. |

I prefer Yes to KC as a band and CTTE to Red as an album but STARLESS is something really incomparable. It's in my top 3 of all time. ------------- Would you catch the final words of mine? Would you catch my words??? |

Though one! Starless for me. The sax solo. The guitar riff as a mantra. Fripp at his best.
But CTTE is fantastic too. ------------- We are pilgrims!

This is a tough one ... Close To The Edge is so perfect, total masterpiece. But I choose Starless because maybe it has more passion and heart than Close .... |

I strongly prefer Larks Tongues in Aspic part 1 to Starless (not to CTTE though) Close to the Edge have changed my life and every action I do, Starless haven't. Also Lizards is as good as starless imo. -------------

Close To The Edge is great, but Starless sistematically gives me creeps.

A sad, sorrowful intro leading into extremely successful tension-building section leading into an explosion of emotions, notes and (above all) awesomeness. Starless it is.
