These songs represent a time when things began to sour. All three artists were once at the forefront of progressive music, but clearly weren't anymore. My pick would have to be Owner of a Lonely Heart, grudgingly.

Yes.
Herbies track moves me about as much as a Nokia ringtone from the late 90's, and Invisible Touch is little more than a musical sack of steaming horse turd.

Yes Owner of a Lonely Heart
|

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Owner. I remember the first time I heard that opening riff thinking "Whoa...Yes went full-on metal!" Then the rest of the band kicked in. "Wait...what just happened?"  I still enjoy it though, and remember enjoying the video as a young'un.

Absolutely--Mama is a great inventive single.

Why Genesis and Yes again?

It's always about Yes and Genesis. All other music only has relevance in relation to Yes and Genesis.

I voted for that which I hated the least: Owner of a Broken Heart. And I pray I'm spared for ever having to hear any of the three ever again.
