Now that I have your attention, let me ask you this question. What is your opinion of Yes’s “Don’t Kill the Whale” from “Tormato?” I decided to make a poll because I’ve only ever done one before…Ouch

One of the best songs on "Tormato".

Good song, not really great, but it still has its moments, besides, it's the first Yes's song I heard (after the IMO horrible "Owner of a lonely heart")

I don't know...
 
Whaling Stories by Procol Harum was kind of boring, and wasn't there some whaling song on Rock Island? Not my cuppa tea.

I quite like it, though it's certainly no "Close to the Edge".  BTW, there is a good version of it by Magellan on Yes's tribute album "Tales from Yesterday".

I think it's OK, done for a symphatetic cause, though I'm not anykind of animal activist.
