WOW...a very odd Top 5 (or 4)!!!  I should agree with "Shoot High..." as it's the best song on "Big Generator."  "Walls" is also a great tune but I prefer several of the other tracks from that disc.  "Dangerous" is an interesting choice, especially coming from possibly one of the worst Yes albums.  If I was forced to pick something from "Union" it would probably be "I Would Have Waited Forever" or MAYBE (that's a big maybe) "Shock To The System."

1- The Revealing Science Of God (best song ever done by Yes for me, and one of the greatest prog songs ever)

2- Awaken

3- Siberian Khatru

4- Close To The Edge

5- Your Move/ I've Seen All Good People

6- Perpetual Change

7- The Gates Of Delerium

8- Sound Chaser

9- And You And I

10- Yours Is No Disgrace

11- To Be Over

12- Heart Of The Sunrise (probably the greatest introduction in prog rock, along with King Crimson's 'The Night Watch')

13- Machine Messiah (I said it too- I think 'Drama' is a great record, and this is one of Yes' best songs)

Just got Relayer...

All of Side 1 rules, as well as the 1st half of side 2.  my favorite Yes album so far (I've really just started on them recently...)  So far I like Relayer better than fragile and the yes album.

My top 5 YesSongs ( now that was dificult )

South Side of The Sky
(hard Rock with the most gentle piano section in the middle)

Astral Traveller
(very strange but catchy tune, reminds me of something I cant quite
explain)

Long Distance Runaround
(Jon's voice is magical and the song is perfect)

And you And I
(is this the song where Steve Howe used the portuguese 12 string guitar?
it sure sounds like one, but wonderful song anyway)

Heart of The sunrise
(like Long Distance, Jon's voice does the trick - Sharp Distance...)
