So, which one do you prefer? Heart of the Sunrise or Awaken?

I reckon I haven't give enough listens to GFTO, although Awaken is undoubtely good I'd say. But dude, you're comparing it to Heart of the Sunrise, such a masterpiece! My vote.

Heart of the Sunrise has some of the best vocal work in a song.

Wow, didn't expect such a landslide!
Based from reviews, I thought Awaken was one of the most loved yes songs of all times.

I love them both. There are parts of HOTS that I like better than Awaken. But as a whole I have to go with Awaken. The slow part just blows me away.

I vote for Awaken, I can't believe it's losing so badly but on second thought, Heart of the Sunrise might be the best thing they did until they released Close to the Edge.

"Heart" is on an album filled with exemplary songs. "Awaken" is without a doubt the brightest moment on an otherwise average album. Both are great but the latter tune made "Going for the One."

I've always been unable to take "Awaken" seriously. Yes, I know it carries you away when you hear a good live performance, but I just can't think of it without a shudder. As soon as I picture Jon singing: "High vibration go on...", I think: O, sod off... I'm sorry if this is one of your favourite pieces, but it's just too much for my Personal Bullsh*t Detector. And the guitar solo on "Sound Chaser" is far superior.
