 Topic: Which songs do you prefer?
Posted: July 15 2008 at 21:40 |
|
I see the result of "3rd B.T.M.C.O" and I get idea about this poll.
I like all four songs, but I prefer the songs of "The Yes Album".
Which album songs do you prefer?

The Musical Box and The Fountain Of Salmacis flatten the other two. Simply no contest that I can see.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Woah! Now this is one hell of a poll. Very hard decision for me... I simply have to go for all four, as they're all absolutely killer tracks. Great poll!

IMHO nothing Yes did remotely compares to:
- Musical Box
- Can utility
- Supper's Ready
- Fountain of Salmacis
So, in this case my vote is easy.

This is very much in line with Cacho's recent poll concerning the Yes Album and Nursery Cryme.
I rate all very highly but prefer Yours Is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper, my favourite two from a classic album.

I like Fountain of Salmacis the best of the 4 but the musical Box the least though it is probably better constructed than the Yes pair.
Fountain to me is the best middle length prog track ever, with Gates of Delirium the best epic
these were the great days

Just for The Musical Box, I go for Genesis. Probably their best song after Supper's Ready .
The Yes Album is excellent, but I prefer Nursery Cryme.

All four are top notch in MHO. I wouldn't mind listening or seeing any of those songs peformed live. The only one that I haven't seen live is Fountain. Sadly no Peter in Genesis when I saw them.

Well, there still is a contest because the selected Yes songs are both great, but I agree. The Genesis songs still crush those Yes songs.

Which songs do you prefer?
). While I heartily enjoy the Genesis songs - when it comes to preference I'm much more of a Yesman
