Close to the Edge without a doubt is my favorite, but where is And you and I? I think that would definitely be a contender. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

| Please, if you put the parts of CTTE individually, then you'd actually have some competition! |

Predictable, I guess, but 'Close to the Edge' it has to be It's one of the best prog epics ever written IMO. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| Without any possible doubt, CTTE - with Awaken a not-so-close second. By the way, I think And You And I should have be included as well. |

SHORTLY: To be honest, live version of AWAKEN from "Keys to Ascension" is the best song I have ever heard... ------------- Pablo P. |

'And you & I' is only two hours long. A prog epic needs to be at least 1 month in length.

| 'The Revealing Science Of God' is one of the best epics I've ever heard, and my fave Yes song of all. |

CTTE will always be my top Yes epic, but TRSOG aint far behind it! It's such a shame that the build up at the start makes people laugh so hard they almost wet themselves, when I find it so moving!

My favourite Yes epic, my favorite any artist epic, and even my favorite all time piece of music from any artist is: Awaken.

I know, i know, close to the edge is a masterpiece... but for me, Gates of delirium is the best epic, is a beautiful complex and very great song, not only their best epic, their best song.. ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

I love CttE, The Remembering, Gates, Awaken, Mind Drive and That That Is... I like Revealing Science, Ritual and Endless Dream. I don't ever need to hear The Ancient again. ------------- "Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin |

Gates of Delirium. its very chaotic at some times and very soft and
melodic at others. CTTE will be a close second. I dont know if its considered an epic (the music got more than 12 minutes) but Heart of the sunrise is incredible. |

Awaken should be on here, as for the choices given, i'd have to go with Gates of Delirium, it's a bit tighter in the arrangements than Close to the Edge, but I do love that song as well, coming in at a close second. ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years.

SO TRUE! The start, I think, does sound corny but its a wonderful, brilliant song. Rick's keyboard solo near the end and Jon's vocal melody throughout is astounding, but not quite up there with CTTE. Co incidentally as CTTE is ahead, and someone said about the parts, what is THE best part of that song? If you could only hear one section, which one? |

| I voted Awaken. If you had put Tales from topographic Oceans I would have voted for that. One part in itself is incomplete. |

Close to the Edge for me. It barely beats Gates of Delerium and The Remembering though. They are quite awesome as well. -------------
