Same for me - great taste Finnforest Wink - but I've never heard Astral Traveller before. Very hard to decide though if Perpetual Change or Machine Messiah is the best one, both the best of their respective albums.

This list might vary, since all of these tracks are excellent.

Machine Messiah mostly, I'm not really fond of the other ones. Second choice would have to be "To be over", though... that one has some really wonderful melodies, but at some point it drags for a bit too long. I much prefer the instrumental shorter versions Steve Howe did later on, in which the main melody was taken all by the acoustic guitar.

Yep! Machine Messiah first then To be over..

The rest I have no string feeling either way for.

I prefer the acoustic versions of To Be Over mostly because you keep the wonderful melody and lose the very lame lyrics...
 
My order:
 
Machine Messiah
Perpetual Change
To Be Over
On the Silent Wings of Freedom
Astral Traveller

It's been so long since I last span any Yes (apart from The Yes Album), so the only one I remember out of these is Perpetual Change, which, incidentally, happens to be a fave of mine.
So:
Perpetual Change
