Genesis for me (love the toms in the intro and Banks, harmonies), but the Floyd number is great (nice economical groove and nice lead break), good sense of the ironic as well. Oddly Wonderous Stories never got me going that much. It's fine of course, it's just me. But got the lot (several times...)

I suppose Wonderous Stories though it's not high on my list of favorite Yes tracks....never cared for Follow and Brick has been played to death so I rarely listen to it anymore.

Never was a fan of Jon Anderson's voice; Follow Yow Follow Me i didn't follow its mood anymore after some years, got kind of bored of it; Another Brick In The Wall (Pt.2) has a strong sound indeed, and i won't ever be bored of this song.

I really can't stand Another Brick In the Wall, and the Genesis track is just okay – I much prefer some of their other singles like Turn It On Again and Many Too Many. So definitely Wonderous Stories.

Damn! Meant to vote for Yes, but clicked on Floyd!! I do like the Floyd single though.

That said, an 'Other' option may have been good. I can think of many others that are better than all three..

For starters:
Hocus Pocus
Kayleigh
Joybringer
Roundabout
Living in the past
Fanfare for the common man
Spirit of Radio
Northern Lights
Nights in white satin
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Pink Floyd Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Pretty much none of those, probably something by Jethro Tull.

as a huge Yes fan Wondrous Stories is a sweet song and the weakest song on a great album--but I'll vote for it--what is weird about the song is my best friend --who is not a prog fan---somehow loves this songSmile.

Another Brick is the one that I do like from the list. If it had been against something like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from Yes, and "Mama" or "Land of Confusion" from Genesis, it would have been a much harder choice.
