I have removed the 2 mega-epics, leaving just the 4 shorter tracks from Close To The Edge and Relayer to choose from. I would expect CTTE title track and Gates of Delirium will be the most popular from these albums, and am interested which is the favourite of the shorter tracks.
I will set the ball rolling with a vote for And You And I. The instrumental section with Wakeman's moog over the mellotron is pure bliss, one of my all-time favourite slices of music. This is my favourite track from CTTE ( I prefer it to the title track ) so this was fairly easy for me. I am interested to see what everybody else thinks.

| Hi Roger! Nice poll! I consider the 4 of them very good songs, the 2 from Close to the Edge have a excellent composition and musicianship, but the one that clicks me most is the overlooked To Be Over. |

And you and I for now. But I will admit, Siberian Khatru would be the winner if we were considering the yessongs version. -------------

Yikes! This is the toughest poll I've seen here. I picked And You and I too but I easily could have picked any but "To Be Over" ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

"And You And I" (15+2/15 points)... by far better than "Close to the Edge" (15/15)  .
------------- All in all each man in all men |

It may seem shocking, but I have skipped CTTE to listen to And You And I.

Voted for And you and I since it has one of the best Mellotron moments , if not the best in all prog |

I did that many times when I first got the album. Less now, but sometimes still when I'm not in the mood for the length or the intro of CTTE, or sometimes I just want to here "And You and I" ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

I still don't understand how people dislike the cha cha cha bit of Sound Chaser, but fail to take exception to 'kill them, give them as they give us', and 'your friends... tell us of your poison' or even 'twenty four before my love and I'll be there' Anyway, gave a vote to Siberian Khatru |

Bah, I love that part. And the groove that Squire lays down after it, with Moraz shredding away is so much pwn. |

To be over!!! The outro is simply gorgeous.

So.. it seems to be the time I have to confess. Yes, I consider myself to be a fan of progressive rock music (and, by the way, not limited to that) and Yes as one of the most influential bands there are. But sometimes Anderson has his.. exaggerating moments..

And You And I may be the best of those and i love it, but my vote goes for Siberian Khatru.
To Be Over is another beautiful one. ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

I agree. I think it really adds to what the song is trying to accomplish.
As did I. That song really helped me get into Yes originally. -------------

I love all of these... but Steve Howe's guitar cadenza on "Sound Chaser" is his greatest ever moment (and the main tune isn't half bad either), so that track gets my vote!
P.S. Cha-cha-cha cha-cha to you too

Sound Chaser. Without a doubt. I just ordered the remastered CD of Relayer today (previously only had it on vinyl)... I can't wait to hear that track all crystal-clear! |

All of you disappoint me. "To Be Over" is phenomenal. It makes "Sound Chaser" look like "Sound Waster." Damn I'm clever. I just made that up. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

I'm not sure that including And You And I is fair. Sure, it is shorter, but it is epic in scope. Anyhow, it got my vote. Easily. It'd get my vote if you included the epics as well. -------------

A hard choice between And You And I and Siberian Khatru but AYAI wins by a nose. I've never liked Sound Chaser or To Be Over (but I think Gates of Delirium is one of Yes' finest moments, better than CTTE). ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar....

Sound Chaser, easily the best Yes composition I've ever heard.

I vote for To Be Over, because I have heard it live, and seen it live on video, and the composition itself, which is a smart blend of folk music and Steve Howe's characteristic chords and time changes, it a wonder to behold. To be able to play and sing the stuff that Chris Squire does on that tune at the same time is a fantastic musical feat of psychic juggling, with the result that it can transport the listener and the viewer to a wonderful place that celebrates what human beings are capable of at their creative peak.
Our band PROG and our YesMusic band can do some pretty wild YES tunes, but we could never even consider trying this gem of a composition. We haven't got the talent, much less the skills!
Also, I have always liked country pedal steel guitar playing.
