No contest here, never liked the Clap much, it's badly recorded and doesn't stand out for me at all. Mood For A Day is excellent. Like I said, no contest.

Clap for Micky. Love the appalachian favour to it.
Bluegrass is one of my non-prog loves and Clap just makes me want to
break out the 'air' accoustic. Though Mood for a Day is great as well

my 'air' drums are far better than my 'air' acoustic.  I got so good, I got a real drumset hahhaha.
Another point for Clap.... isn't that the sweetest lead-in to Starship Trooper. Just listened to Clap again.

The Clap isn't badly recorded at all you madman! Bow your head in shame!!! 
I vote for The Clap, such a fun track, and so tricky! I can play Mood for a Day, I love it. But I don't think i'll ever be able to play The Clap

I gotta go with "Clap". Any other guitarists out there been able to duplicate it yet? I can play Mood For A Day reasonably well, but Clap...forget it. I have heard it called one of the most difficult acoustic guitar pieces in rock history, and I'd be inclined to agree.

What the f*ck?
Are you people TOTALLY shallow idiots? 
They are both fine Steve Howe acoustic pieces from two of the finer albums, from one of the top pioneering, most original prog bands ever! WHY CHOOSE?
If I were at a Yes concert, I'd be equally glad to see Howe do either one!
Are you a statistician, or a radio programmer? Are you deciding which song to record, continue liking, or something?
WTF is this obsession with turning art into a sporting event?
Is EVERYTHING a competition these days? (Will America "win" -- in the end?) A very juvenile way to look at the world!
WWF Prog! 
F*CK!!!
Sorry. I will never understand the popularity of this type of absolutely POINTLESS poll!

That IS the point, dude! You & I are wasting our time arguing over pointless crap instead of listening to good PROG!
BTW - cast my vote for The Clap.

I was about to post the same poll, I guess great minds think alike ;)
Mood For A Day just's got that intro I like. They're both great though.
What about "Horizons"? Not as difficult or complex, but I like it a lot too.

Er... yes -- or perhaps de-alcoholized beer!
That was rather strongly worded, wasn't it? 
I still feel the same about all these silly "which is best" polls, but I apologize for coming on so forcefully back there.
FUDGE! FiretrUCK!

hahaha, I rather you stick to flaming threads than switch to non-alchoholic beer. Urrggg.
For what it's worth... there have been worse threads than this.
At least both of these songs have something in commen. Thanks for not
flaming my 'which do you prefer' thread

sometimes my humor hits, and sometimes
it doesn't. Remember the time I joked about prog fans and drug
use back in the 70's (while arguing about Genesis), and Ivan torched me
thinking I was saying Genesis fans were dope fiends. Oh well
