Tubular Bells wins over five epic Yessongs

TB takes you on a bit of a musical journey, as a good epic should do, through many guitars, and other instruments, played in a variety of styles from around the world, until we end up back in Blighty dancing the Sailor's Hornpipe.  Indeed the final section of side one, from around 17:22 onwards is like the Young Person's Guide to the Rock Band.

Shine. It's the Pink Floyd week on PA, isn't it?

TB is a patchwork of shorter things, not properly an epic and I think that Dabsong is underrated. It's the last great Caravan track. TFTO works well with the four tracks together. Karn Evil and Larks are great, too, but Shine is a step forward.

The Revealing Science of God - Dance of the Dawn - Yes

Very difficult choice especially with Yes at their peak.  Sorry to be the 'what about' bore but Henry Cow's 'Living in the Heart of the Beast' is a tour de force as well.

Revealing Science of God.   

This song inspired me to drop plans to attend medical school and pursue my present career in environmental science.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

There are here some great epic tracks I love. But, my vote goes to Karn Evil 9 - Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Another very hard choice between Gates and Shine On...

But it has to go to Shine On.

Since no one else voted for it, I went with Kraftwerk's Autobahn. I long ago wore out SOYCD, while I've been on a Kraftwerk kick the past year or so.

Somehow missed this first time. Voted Gates as I always do in these types of polls.

Interesting to see Kraftwerk included. I've been watching a few Andy Edwards videos on y/t recently and he has highlighted their importance and wider influence on music.
