Oh no, not again! We had this poll a few weeks ago. Someone please come up with something more original! BTW, I voted Mood For The Day. |

| I can't make up my mind, but I have to say I like Horizons especially because it's the introduction to Supper's Ready, and I like Mood For A Day just because for it's own sake. |

| Horizons is a wonderful piece, but I must say that its role is more of an introduction to the main theme (Supper's Ready), as said above, while Mood for a Day has its center in itself - it's a short but complete piece. That's the reason why I vote in Howe's theme. |

The 12-string guitar in Horizons wins over the simplicity of the 6-string in mood for a day IMHO.

I can't decide Horizon's is sweeter and less difficult to play (I know from experiance) Mood for a day is longer and quite hard to play, for sound I think it is a tie. Both good, ------------- "Let's get the hell away from this Eerie-ass piece of work so we can get on with the rest of our eerie-ass day" |

At the first time I heard "Horizons" I thought: how many guitars Hackett played for this piece? But then I saw he made it in a show and finally understood: he is a great classical guitar player |

Simplicity??? How come I can play Horizon and not Mood for a day (Well, I can play bits of it but not as a whole like Horizon) and I'm not a guitar player as my first instrument is the keyboard!! Mood for a day is more complex then Horizon, no doubt about it! But it doesn't remove anything to horizon that is really a sweet song and intro to Supper's ready I can't decide! |

I love both, the fact is that Mood for a Day has been too over played in I don't know how many Yes albums and DVD's, it has bored me. So I will go with Horizons just by a very small margin. BTW: Clap´(NOT THE CLAP) is IMO far bellow the level of both. Iván -------------

"Clap" is on The Yes Album, where Jon Anderson introduces it as "The Clap". |

Mood for a Day is so good not only as Heart of the Sunrise's prelude, but is also just a great song. Horizon's is great too but I can't say it's more than a prelude to a grand opus. My vote goes to Mood for a Day... -------------

This is something that I read manyv times and still can't understand. Is a song better because it's harder to play????? Iván -------------

It's so hard to pick just one, i think they're both amazing. Mood For A Day comes right before the amazing Heart of the Sunrise, and Horizons is right before the epic Supper's Ready. How could you choose??? ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me.
