Five Yessongs

I didn't remember "Turn of the Century" or "On the Silent Wings of Freedom|. I haven't listened to much Yes since the 80s, and even then it was only Fragile that I was into. I have heard other albums at the time, and some subsequently -- I have tried Close to the Edge once a decade since the 80s to see if clicks beyond the title track yet. My old love, "Heart of the Sunrise", takes this for me. "Starship Trooper" comes in at second for me.

	Heart Of The Sunrise easily. That would probably be my second or third favourite Yes song after And You and I and GoD.

	It's hard to pick between Starship Trooper and Heart of the Sunrise...and On the Silent Wings of Freedom is also an amazing track...so I will use an arbitrary method, and pick the track that has the most plays in my iTunes library...which is Starship Trooper.
	I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!) Check out my music on my bandcamp!

	From your list: 1. Siberian Khatru 2. Heart of the Sunrise 3. On the Silent Wings of Freedom 4. Starship Trooper 5. Turn of the Century However, your list is missing Close to the Edge and South Side of the Sky.
	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.
