5 - Siberian Khatru

I'm surprised that And You And I appears so low on most of these lists. I think it's one of their few songs where they really achieve a level of perfection unmarked by any other band.

1. And You And I (Cord of Life; Eclipse; The Preacher The Teacher; Apocalypse)
2. Starship Trooper (Life Seeker; Disillusion; Wurm)
3. Roundabout
4. Close to the Edge (Solid Time of Change; Total Mass Retain; I Get Up I Get Down; Seasons of Man)
5. South Side of the Sky
6. The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn)
7. The Remembering (High the Memory)
8. Long Distance Runaround/The Fish (specifically the live version)

I can't possibly decide on the last two.
