As already stated by many, two great tunes. My vote goes to CTTE because it has a strong sensory trigger from when I was a teenager and lounging around my folks pool in the summer. For me CTTE is the perfect exemplification of what a summer day by the water would sound like.

 At least twice for me, but that only goes back as far as my dim memory will take me. I believe I said the same thing the last time as well: CTTE is an integrated whole while SR is a suite of connected pieces. Both are great to be sure, but I am going for the one that has to come in its entirety as opposed to the one I can break up. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

| Now, I'm a bit amazed CttE has gotten such a lead, unless something happens I guess it's bound to win the poll. Now, after winning this poll, whichever song could possibly beat CttE in a poll? By the way, I really love both songs, but I like Yes better, so I'll vote Close to the Edge too. |

I tried to make this decision a while ago, and I nearly couldn't! I think I have to say Suppers Ready, cause it is a little more diverse, but the climax of Close to the Edge just barely passes the climax of Suppers Ready. Sadly, I can't vote in the polls.

I find that I like the segues between the different parts of CTTE, so I guess I'd say the Yes number "flows" from section to section better. But then Supper's Ready has some unbelievably powerful stuff in it that I just never tire from, when "Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" kicks in it gives me shivers every time. But then again so does CTTE. Therefore I choose NOT to vote!! Too hard!
