The solo bits simply aren't necessary in this album.  I voted for Howe, but actually "Mood for a day" is not that great.

 

Not really a fair description at all

It's only my opinion. Maybe I'm too demanding with Yes. They are my favourite band.

Absolutely!

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

I love Mood for a Day but Squire's Fish...is something special.The version on Yessongs is even better...IMHO

As of this posting "Mood for a Day" had zero votes so I voted for that.  It was a toss-up between that and "The Fish".

Anderson's 'We Have Heaven' is angelic, First couple of times I played the album that track had me close to tears!!  I'm not kidding.

'The Fish' is extraordinary, Crazy atmosphere. 'Mood For a Day' is very reflective and dreamy, I love them both.

Hard to decide

So, as you possibly know Yes' Fragile consist of 4 group pieces and five solo ones. Each of the members contributed his own. Which of them do you like best then?

I like Andersons and Squires pieces best, both for great melody. But as I'm a great bass fan my vote goes to Squires Fish.

Have fun
