yeah.. but unlike the rest of the album, this song was damn near as good as anything they did previously or afterward. Everything about it rules, more well enough to cover the unfortunate choice of keyboard sounds.  That said, it still does SORT of grow on you. No qualms at all with choosing that as favorite of the group. Strong a group of choices as it is. Quite well could be considered not only Squire's finest moment, but I'd be hard pressed to find anything better that Jon did. His voice just soared and obviously was very attuned to the overall vibe and the music. I thought the song itself held together quite well, furious intro, sort of a step back, then the Casio solo, then the band reenters and lays waste. As close to perfect as one could hope to get, and would have been with a different sound from Wakeman.

To be honest, I never got into HOTS, nor Fragile. It's merely a 4, maybe even a 3 1/2 star album.

pfff.. that 'sound' couldn't have been anything associated with 'moog'. damnit man. It HAD to have been a Casio keyboard  It sure as hell sounded like one you could get from Radio Shack

Heart of the Sunrise is my favourite. Surprised to see it's so far in front though tbh.

i'm leaning toward On the Silent Wings of Freedom, as I haven't heard it anywhere near as much as the rest, but i'd probably have to go with Yours is No Disgrace of those listed.
Have they played Wings on any live albums? I can't recall seeing it listed.

I was listening to a live version of Yours Is No Disgrace yesterday and was enjoying the completely mad guitars solos. They really are totally nuts and yet so perfect.

Hi,
Not voting ... I think the epics are what defines this band, not necessarily the hit songs, but in reality, both come together, not separate.
Pass on choice ... too many of them!
