Even if it's one of the worst song by Pink Floyd, and probably for this reason unreleased on any official Floyd album except Zabriski Point, it's still Floyd. That YEs song is probably better, surely better played and arranged, but it doesn't have that psych mood which was still present in Point Me at The Sky.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
I'm Running is quite good but it gives me the idea that Yes has lost direction at this point; the song does a bit downhill from start to finish. I never listened to Big Generator and I don't feel encouraged to do so because of the plethora of one star ratings given by some of PA's finest reviewers.
I like the pastoral/country/psych Crumbling Land a bit better, so it gets my vote.

Crumbling Land reminds me of the Dead around American Beauty. Such a wonderful acoustic track with great harmonies. I'm Running is my favourite of Big Generator - always loved dear Squire's intro to the song especially. I may just vote for the Floyd track.
