When Close to The Edge is an option, it's a done deal. My other favorites include The Revealing Science of God, The Gates of Delirium, Siberian Khatru, Sound Chaser, and Machine Messiah. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

^I think we can all foresee the winner, so I will vote for 'The Gates of Delirium' |

CttE is not even my favourite track on that album, let alone my favourite Yes epic - but if it doesn’t win this poll, I’ll be surprised. It’s only competition, I guess, might be Gates. My favourites from this list, I guess, are Sound Chaser, Siberian Khatru, and The Ancient. 🤔 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

No votes for Awaken yet? Well, I'll be the first. I only have one thing to say about it: Breathtaking. ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

| tough choice, there are at least 4 songs I could vote for. |

An easy choice for me: Homeworld from The Ladder album, although the Fly from Here suite comes a close second.

| All great pieces of music, but my favorite is Awaken. |

I think "Awaken" is their most refined, perfected, but the rawness and unexpectedness of "Gates of Delirium" gets my vote (nearly) every time. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

I could have voted for Awaken instead, but I was still half-asleep at the time.

I think that refined perfection is why I find it so boring. I’ll take the rawness and unexpectedness of Gates any day! ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Gates of Delirium, Awaken, And You And I... I join the Gates crowd but it's a very tight affair. |

Close To The Edge for me. I'm a little surprised that The Gates of Delirium is quite close and that Awaken has few votes. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

South Side would get my vote. After that it would probably be a toss up between CTTE and AYAI, followed by Yours Is No Disgrace and Perpetual Change and Roundabout. It would be a long time before I even considered anything off of Relayer or Tales, or Awaken. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog!

| Close to the Edge, followed by The Gates of Delirium. I feel quite basic picking those two but there is a reason why they’re dominating this poll, right? |

It's no surprise that I'm the only one so far who's voted for Homeworld, although mine is no disgrace that it's from my favourite Yes album: The Ladder.

I had to vote for Homeworld because I knew no one else would, especially after you were kind enough to include it in the poll.

| It's very close between CttE, GoD, and Awaken. And The Revealing Science of God very close too. I'm going with Awaken, though. |

Actually Homeworld is the only decent song off The Ladder album. I found the album a major disappointment.
