With the observance of the TFTO 50th anniversary, it seems there's so much love for "Revealing Science of God" and "Ritual", but not these two. Anyone prefer these two?

The Forgetting (Low the Memory). I only remember the two Topographic Oceans songs which aren't in the poll. Embarrassed

The Remembering is my favorite song on the album
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

The Ancient for the acoustic part, but all four songs are perfect.

The Ancient, by a mile... (the first 2/3, anyways)

FINALLY something (then-)new to the Yes catalogue. 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

IMHO, "The Remembering" is the least attractive of the album's four epics.

"The Remembering" is one of the greatest underappreciated Yes songs of all time.

"The Ancient" I feel serves as an appropriate psychedelic bridge between what comes before and what comes after, but it has never drawn me in the same way.

Me too. I've grown to like The Ancient more over the years although I could do with a bit less of Howe's guitar soloing, tbh.

"The Ancient", especially the last third with Howe's acoustic solo accompanied by Anderson's voice, superlative.
