Three for sure. One of Crimsons best apart from Sleepless. Smelly 80s drums on that track

KC, no question. Aside from Man With An Open Heart & Model Man the album is top notch.

You might have done this as "“Man with an Open Heart" vs. "Owner of a Lonely Heart".





I think I did that poll years ago with some other heart options. In that case I do prefer the song from 90125, but on the whole I prefer Three of a Perfect Pair. I think my least liked song on 90125 is this (it does have bit of Crimson vibe in part that I quite like but also a kind of AOR that does not appeal):



Neither album is much my bag, but I'm going with KC on this.

1984 is apt, because it might seem like you live in a dystopian world with that as your favourite. One might say of the album, "With its grace and carelessness it seemed to annihilate a whole [music] culture" (George Orwell's 1984)...

Just playing around, by the way.

I haven't listened to the album in full since the 80s. At the time I was a major fan of Fragile.

90125 is the clear choice for me, the KC album is shy of 'perfect'.

I haven't actually heard three of a perfect pair, except for having heard several songs in their live versions. Even though I do like many of them, and that 90125 isn't nearly among my favourite Yes albums, I still think Yes would take my vote here... even though I'm not actually voting for either.

Yep, the question isn't which one is more prog it's which one do you prefer? I would like to start over since one person on here technically cheated but there doesn't seem to be a way to delete the poll at this point so I'll keep it. However, if 90125 has one more vote or is tied just keep in mind someone on here didn't hear the other one so technically it's a tie if 90125 is up by one.    Shall I vote ToaPP to calibrate then?
