It's great, very late 60s Hammond-y stuff and really nice vocal harmonies.

Whether you are a vinyl guy or not, I think the time is indeed more important than the number of tracks. Imagine saying that Pigs on the Wing (either part 1 or 2... or even the two together) are 1/5 (or 1/4, in case you consider them together) of Animals... that would just be wrong.

^ It's funny, I would automatically think more in terms of total time in such instances (percent of the temporal pie to put it badly), unless specified otherwise, rather than the number of pieces (tracks). 

It's less than a quarter of the total length, but as it is almost one half of side B, I would also refer to it as a quarter of the album rather than a third (unless, as I said, I specified otherwise). Maybe cause I'm still a vinyl guy (still think in terms of sides A and B with such albums), I'm more likely to split things up the way uduwudu does.

How can it be 1/4 of an album with 3 tracks?


Funny old maths. Gates is twice the length of the other two therefore one of the other two must be 25% of the whole - time wise. Piece wise it's 1/3 of the album.

I thought the "Yesterdays" version was just taken straight from the debut - is it different?

To Be Over needs the love. Great number, 1/4/ of a classic album. The front runner is pretty good too... all good stuff one cannot be without...

Shame that "I'm Running" has no votes, even though it's up against some stiff competition. To me, this is one of the songs that made Big Generator a reasonable album, undeserving of all the stick it gets. It's probably the best Rabin-era song apart from "I am waiting".

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.

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.

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.
