That's an easy one...
Siberian Khatru is stupendous
And You And I is marvellous
But the choice is easy.

A no brainer for me seeing that Close to the edge takes up half of the album. I love the way that it starts out and builds up to Steve Howe jamming.

You guys are crazy! "Siberian" contains a kick ass riff, and perhaps my favorite moment in all of Yes-dom; you know the one, that hand-off jam between minutes 3 and 4. Yeah. That ROCKS for a change.

The Title track or And You And I. As the votes seem to indicate, Siberian Khatru is a bit of a let down after the first two tracks, IMO South Side of the Sky worked much better as a rocker...but SK starts off very strong, and the harpsichord/slide guitar exchange is stunning, but then the guys insist on repeating that same line over and over and over and over and over and over.
so...the title track it is. A very emotional song for me, especially when...well, you know what part I'm talking about

This being the album that got me into Prog Rock, Yes, and really, made me truly fall in love with music, it is like choosing between children when it comes to choosing a favorite moment. I'd say the title track is a 10/10, AYAI is 10/10, and SK is 9.5/10. I went with the title track, but it could have gone to any of them based on my mood.

After a while I realised the track I listened to most was Siberian Khatru...so I vote it my fave!

It's easy. Close to the Edge of course. But the other ones are masterpieces too, so Close to the edge is more than a masterpiece, simply divinal.
