POLL: Best Track on Yes' "The Yes Album"

Message Bookmarked

Ooh...The "Your Move" section of "I've Seen All Good People" is what is responsible for getting me fully into this band, though I don't like the second section as much. "Perpetual Change" has that great ride-off closing, though a bit too much repetition of that opening riff.

All in all, I'm giving it to "Starship Trooper".

probably my favorite album of theirs as well, I vote for all good people, boring and cliched as it is to do that. but this album has NO bad songs.

"...Disgrace"-prototype of a Howe-era Yes song.

Yours Is No Disgrace rocks my world - I love that wah-ed out Steve Howe guitar break.

While all the tracks are great, this is still easily between the two epics for me. Going for "Yours Is No Disgrace", but "Starship Trooper" is very close.

Has to be "Starship Trooper".

Starship Trooper, but true enough, there really aren't any bad tracks on this (tho I never need to hear All Good People again)

The "Starship Trooper" on Yessongs is fucking monstrous.

"Perpetual Change" requires headphones to be properly appreciated. (That krazy claustrophobic "middle section" with all the various riffs battling for spuremacy)
