Wond'rous Stories.
It doesn't have Another Brick... guitar solo or Follow.. Pop sheen.
But it just has this glorious rise leading up to it's chorus.

Wonderous Stories is a lovely song that helped get my attention on the band, Follow you is an ok pop song, Brick gets on my nerves.

Yes - Wonderous Stories has a lot of magic.
Genesis - FYFM has a great ARP solo and the swirling Hammond T from Banks.
BUT.........
Floyd - ABITW II has that brilliant lead from Gilmour. The first time I ever paid attention to music - thanks Sir David !!

Wonderous Stories, although I have to admit that I have a sneaking fondness for FYFM.

Wonderous Stories - Fantastic comeback hit by Yes after their hiatus for solo works.
Follow You, Follow Me - The first real Genesis "hit" on the radio. Kinda poppish but not bad.
Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2 - Not bad but there are better songs from that album than this one.

Another Brick might just as well be the song that's responsible for me getting into prog... I mean, the song for which I got into Pink Floyd, and then into prog (besides some other artists that I got to know around the time, like Focus, Harmonium, Rick Wakeman, Alan Parson's Project). However, I still like that song a lot, even if I don't consider it among their very best songs. Follow You Follow Me is nice, but not more than that. And I never really got into Wondrous Stories... nothing really memorable on that one for me. I guess from Yes the more obvious hit would have been "Owner of a Lonely Heart". Perhaps a good song for a poll like this one would have been "Dust in the Wind" too.
