Love them all but have to give my vote to The Remembering - best Yes song after Gates of Delirium.

I was a sophomore in high school when I excitedly brought home "Tales From Topographic Oceans" and put Disc One, Side One on my turntable. Still blown away by "Close to the Edge" the previous year, I was hoping for the best and half-fearing for the worst. I got both. I think "Revealing Science of God" and "Close to the Edge" are the best songs Yes ever did. I find the rest of "Tales" to be rather boring and uninspired, although each song (particularly "Ritual") has some great moments. But only "Revealing Science" is great all the way through. It used to be the song I'd use to show off my stereo. So as you've by now guessed, "Revealing Science of God" gets my vote.

I think Tales is a masterpiece---not note for note perfect like all of CTTE---but you don't have to be perfect to be a masterpiece---funny the only side of Tales I find rambling is Ritual--while there are gorgeous guitar pieces in the opening and closing of the the side ---but Jon's rambling on in the middle gets to me lol the part--"as clearer companions shall ....till we sail...and I will be there..." that part. When I think of Tales and rambling I think of that. Plus the live version with Moraz of drum ritual part is sublime---the recorded version is okay.

I'm not a big fan of The Ancient (aside from the beautiful acoustic section, the last 6 minutes of the song, which are fantastic), but other than that Tales is a very good album. Not as great as Yes' three previous efforts I might add, though.
So I do certainly like those three songs and my favorite is The Remembering, probably in my TOP 7 Yes songs of all time.

The Revealing followed by The Remembering. I think Ritual is the "worst" song in the TFTO (if you can call a TFTO song "worst",that is).

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

I just thought it would win this and I agree with that, more for the banter actually but I assume you got that. Anyway what is the best according to you? The Ancient?

Sorry, I read your post as The Remembering rather than the Revealing. That will teach me not to type before my first cup of tea. I do agree the Revealing was going to win, however I prefer the Remembering. Now someone slap me awake.
