Gosh, they both are amazing, but "America" ... M!  ... It's just better.
They've a-a-a-a-a-all co-o-o-o-ome to look for Ame-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-erica-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. Plus, the final instrumental section is ... is just awesome.

America, obviously. Try to compare your results with my older poll:

^ Whoa!  ... Let's see how it will turn out this time given only two choices and a new row of PA membership.

Definitely No Opportunity Necessary: mindblowing track. America is quite good too, though!

No Opportunity is a great song indeed, but their treatment of America is brilliant. Howe's extended solo is a textbook example of structure. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Without searching I figured there would have been a similar poll, but I just wanted these two songs. Btw, I did just vote; I have a habit of making a poll then coming back later to vote in it. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Arrrgh!! I'm partial to both, but "America" for me!! I'm also very fond of the Beatles cover, "Every Little Thing"....Peter Banks really shines on this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfsbF2yYpi4" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfsbF2yYpi4

I almost count it as a track on Fragile to make up for the somewhat lack of legitimate group compositions.

I think 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' has the best Yes cover.

| ^ Hm ... I don't see any floating fishes or Temples of the Moon on the cover of Relayer. It only has a giant snake and a few valkyrie maiden warriors. |

| America---this line-up create one of the most amazing sounds in prog IMO at the time and this cover showcases the sound they created---take a nice folk tune and turn it inside out---- |

| Non really. Well, perhaps no oportunity necessary a bit better, but I'm not a big fan of Yes covers, which is a shame, really. The problem with me is that I don't really like the songs they chose to cover, but I have my utmost respect for the way they did those covers, making them their own indeed. I really wish they had done covers of songs I actually liked. |

I agree...it was a very "Nice" touch...But I also like their version of Every Little Thing.
