Very difficult choice. So, I'm not going to vote on this poll.

Both great songs, but KC gets my vote. My copper pipes lead to a teddy bear base.

It's an extremely hard choice, since both songs mean a lot to me. I voted for 21st Century Schizoid Man, if only because Heart of the Sunrise repeats the main riff quite a lot, but I really love both quite the same, and are among my favorite pieces of all time.

21st Century Schizoid Man was a hugely important song in my musical development, whereas Heart of the Sunrise is not even my favourite track on Fragile, so 21st Century Schizoid Man it is without hesitation.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I prefer 'Heart', but love both and recognise 'Schizoid' as being the more important historically...

I'm a YES fan, but Schizoid is great!

Yes Heart of the Sunrise, pretty easily. HOTS falls somewhere between 5-7 on my ranking of Yes songs depending on the day. Only Starless from KC would get in the Top 10 if I ranked all the Yes and KC songs together. Schizoid Man is still a good piece of music though.

I think 21st Century Schizoid Man is among the greatest songs by King Crimson; on the other hand, there are several Yessongs I rank higher than Heart of the Sunrise, even on that very Fragile album - so I have to go with KC here.

21st Century Schizoid Man is one of the best debut album openers of all time along woth ELP's Barbarian. Considering Greg Lake had to teach himself the bass to play on the KC album then it is an extraordinary performance and then he betters it a year later!
It may seem strange bordering on the ridiculous to even out and out total heresy but Greg Lake may actually have been a better bass player than Chris Squire in those early days (KC debut plus ELP first 2 albums versus Yes first 3 albums).

Heart. Only the alternation loud/quiet and THAT bass line leaves Schizoid behind.
