Both are considered to be their creators "Grand Opus", and are extremely important and influential to the prog genre... Which is the best and why? -------------

check this poll right now ¡¡¡. The past poll had an absurd output. something like 100 vs 30 in favor of YES. That´s ridiculous. So far, Supper´s is kicking Close´s butt. Lets see how it goes before YES´s fans start manipulating the poll. The last poll was statistically ridiculous. Statistics don´t work that way. That poll was once in favor of Supper´s for at least 10 points. |

Supper's Ready is really very good. Close To The Edge is just pretentious. ------------- www.soundclick.com/ipacialsection |

If Close to the Edge is pretentious, then surely Suppers Ready is too? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Nope! Genesis weren't pretending they could make good music to last more than 20 minutes, because they could do it! Yes were only pretending they could make good music to last 20 mins, when in fact they couln't even make good music for 18 minutes! Tales of Topographic Oceans is so pretentious it's funny! ------------- www.soundclick.com/ipacialsection |

| This shouldn't even be a question... Yes are way more innovative and musical then Genesis, and those two songs demonstrate that clearly |

As a song and concept I stay with Suppers Ready As instrumental masterpiece, I stay with Close top the Edge. So I can't choose. Iván -------------

You've resorted to comebacks....shouldn't you be in the Coldplay forum? ------------- www.soundclick.com/ipacialsection |

close to the edge wins my vote, though they are both good but not amazing in my opinion |

No I don't like Coldplay, I like Progressive Rock. Shouldn't you be anywhere except here! BTW I didn't realise I wasn't supposed to reply to you....oops I.ve done it again. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Comebacks are replies that are unrelated to the topic (because you don't know what to say on the topic) they are just attempts to put someone down. Usually done in order to cover up insecurities. ------------- www.soundclick.com/ipacialsection |

OK then...Yes CAN write long pieces, as Close The Edge and Gates Of Delirium prove, its not pretentious, Tales is not funny, and the only way that genesis could make a long song is by sticking bits of other songs together. Not that thats bad! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Close to the Edge was done by sticking bits of other songs together. And TOTO was more pretentious than a blind-folded 3 year old building a skyscraper with one hand. ------------- www.soundclick.com/ipacialsection |

Too late, just an hour ago I read this thread and Supper's Ready was above by 25 to 19, statistics don't lie 41 Yes fans don't come here in 60 minutes, vote 41 times and don't post anything, I insist, some Yes fan has a PC shop or owns an Internet cafe, that's the only way to explain this. But who cares about Polls too much anyway. Iván -------------

couldn't agree more Ivan, though I'm voting (1st and only time  ) for Close to the Edge. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

However polls there are, I'll vote Supper's ready. CTTE would be my number two epic, but not quite as accomplished and perfect as Supper. IMO, of course. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |
