I would say the same about "Yet Another Movie" from the same album.

*hiss*  .... my review will set the record straight on that album and its songs... flipping a coin between the Yes and Genesis songs... love all 4 of those. I suppose I like Mama more than most and put it on par.. perhaps not musically but it was still a great song.. as either of those Yes gems. then again.. perhaps that is why I should vote Yes. Both songs were musically superior to anything any of those other groups did. so Yes it is....

I'll go with Tull on this one, followed by Floyd and Rush. Don't really care about Yes and Genesis 80s work.

^ not so much anymore 
I like On the Turning Away, I don't find it sappy at all. The live version on Delicate Sound of Thunder is even better.

For 'Floyd, it's pure sap, tapped as readily as maple syrup from the Vermont woods. You must also be into Dream On and Free Bird.

Given that the same incarnation of Yes gave us "Endless Dream" in the 90's, I would rather say that they still had the best under their sleave (or rather, Trevor's sleave). That's easily my favourite Yes song since "Awaken", and there are indeed a few songs I like a lot in the middle (perhaps Machine Messiah would be the closest to compete with Endless Dream).

Or how about a Marillion pairing? I guess for me it would have to be "Script for a Jester's Tear with Chelsea Monday or Forgotten Sons. Or else, Pseudo Silk Kimono with Kayleigh (though for me both songs together cound as just one song, and I think the Kimono songs is the more important part to make Kayleigh such a special song).

I'll go with Genesis with Yes a very close second. Genesis wins because I really like Home by the Sea (both parts!)

One Slip/Turning Away, good combo.

One Slip=strong; On the Turning Away=sappy. That negates the pairing here.

Same here. "Shapes" has aged better than 90125 to me, although I can occasionally enjoy 90125. My prob with 90125 is that many of the songs have such cloying, repetitive choruses. That isn't quite as big an issue on some of these other releases. Sure there are instances of it but the others have more twists. Also, I just prefer Banks tendencies to Tony Kaye.

From this list I guess I go with Genesis... but I'm thinking about "Home by the Sea" as the whole thing, parts 1 and 2, as played in the live albums. I would be tempted to vote for Pink Floyd because I really love "On the Turning Away", but "One Slip" not so much (I do like it, but don't love it)... if it had been paired with "Yet Another Movie" then Floyd would have been my choice (though I much prefer both songs on their Delicate Sound of Thunder versions). The Yes songs don't do much for me, but if it had been "Owner of a Lonely Heart" with "Hold On" I would have had a difficult time choosing between them and Genesis.

Beastie/The Clasp, mostly because I never heard either of them on the radio, alone much less together.

I like the Tull album most and they're behind, so they get my vote. On another day I might have picked the Yes duo; the album is mediocre but I like these two songs, particularly Changes.
