Both are very underrated albums in my opinion, by 2 great prog rock bands you'll definitely have heard of. Both are more adventurous and progressive than their self-titled predecessors, so I thought it might be interesting to see if you prefer the heavier "Fly By Night" or the more orchestral "Time And A Word". In my opinion, Yes just about wins this although but it's definitely a close call.

Anyway, thanks for any feedbackTongue

Fly by Night, side 1 is maybe my favorite Rush side of em all.

Love both but FBN gets my vote. Mainly for reasons of nostalgia if I'm honest.

i like both, but they ain't one of my favorites in either. nevertheless, i choose Rush over Yes (even though the latter is my all time favorite band) in this case.

Fly By Night

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

The opposite for me. Rush is my favorite of all time, but I'd choose Yes over Rush in this poll.

Fly By Night. Because I actually listened to Rush back then.
