CTTE for sure (which is in no way a slight against Supper's Ready).

Refraining from voting. If its live CttE then it wins. Studio is SR.

Close to the Edge by a fraction. Supper's Ready happens to be one of my favorite tracks as well.

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.

At present the vote is: Close To The Edge - 14, Supper's Ready - 16. I'm actually quite surprised that Supper's Ready is leading against Close To The Edge. I thought for certain that Close To The Edge would win this poll, though I didn't know if it would be by a little or a lot. |

I donīt like either song much, but the Second Out live version of Supper's Ready has its moments. Recently I've been listening some Flower Kings and perhaps their abundance of Yes influences will one day make me look more kindly on their classic albums. For now I can only listen to the Yes Album, preferably side one.

I don't like the live version of SR .The Battle section especially is one of the best things about SR but Chester is basically rubbish on it!

Yep. Only I didn't add the question mark because of the rest of it.

Both are sublime, but I chose CTTE. These represented the height of British prog composition IMHO.

Close to the Edge - more virtuosic, impressive musically, stunning Supper's Ready - more touching, mysterious, even greater atmosphere & themes So it depends on what I need more at the moment. Supper's Ready is my pick for autumn, but ask me again in July.

I decided I'm not going to vote in this. Technically I might prefer Supper's Ready by just a tiny bit(and it might even depend on my mood) but over all I'm more of a Yes fan and would feel like I betrayed them if I voted for it so it balances out here for me. Both are equally great. How about that?

Can't blame you for not leaving a vote here, I think both songs are consensual TOP5 progressive rock compositions of all time.

Recently, the poll Close To The Edge vs Foxtrot has been resurrected, so I resurrect this poll. It is still a tie.

It says I've already voted but I haven't posted. Sorry about that.
Probably voted for CTTE which I enjoy more these days than the Genesis epic.
