To Be Over, just over South Side of the Sky. A simply beautiful ending to an otherwise frenetic album.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I'll pile on the South Side, but Survival is one my favorites of their early period.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Love the first four, really, and could easily pick any of them.  Went with "To Be Over".

South Side, easily. One of my favourite Yes songs, while I'm not particularly fond of the rest. "To be Over" has some really beautiful moments, but it's kind of overlong, plus I prefer the melodies played with acoustic guitar, just as Howe has played it solo some times. I wish they had included this song on their acoustic arrangements of songs during the 00's, it would have been wonderful indeed.

I equally like the first four, all are among my favorites from Yes.
Had to find out what album is "I'm Running" from... Haven't heard Big Generator for years.

I'm with the leader on this one, South Side of the Sky. After that, To Be Over, On the Silent Wings of Freedom, Survival, and I'm Running running last. All good songs BTW.

South Side of the Sky
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.
