 Topic: Your favourite song from Relayer
Posted: February 06 2013 at 01:54 |
What's your favourite song from the legendary album by Yes?
My vote goes to Gates, I think that'll probably win by a landslide, but we'll see.

I love Gates but it has that less than pleasing "soon" downer at the end. The other two are brilliant too. Sound Chaser. More concise and just brilliant.

Gate is great, but Sound Chaser is brilliant, it's just so damn infectious, so I voted for that.

Interesting to see - not only in this thread, I've read it before - that several people don't like Soon. Personally, I like it. Maybe the transition from Moraz' wonderful chords to Soon is not 100% smooth, but it's a nice ending of the song anyway. I'm not so fond of the cha-cha-cha ending of Sound Chaser myself. Yeah, tastes differ, I know.

They're all excellent, but Gates is special.

Gates. It used to be Sound Chaser but I've gone off it over the last few years and never really got on with To Be Over.

Me too. Gates is the best by a mile but To Be Over is an overlooked gem, wonderful guitar playing.

Gates of Delirium by a mile, however I'd much rather have the Yesshows version.

Not only is "Gates" my favorite song from Relayer, it is my favorite Yes song, period.

Easy one. Gates is definitely in my top 5 Yes tunes, the rest is great but not on the level of Gates.
