Re: Name a tune that.............

Rick Wakeman said in an interview that if someone asked him what Progressive Rock was, he'd play them "Awaken" and "Heart of the Sunrise." I say "Awaken" is the definitive prog song.

Longest Tarentel pieces is a semi-ambient noise-collage noodle-fest called "Big Black Square." It's 43 minutes and not on the Moon. Nah.

Of course your right on this One. AWAKEN is by far my Favorite Yes Tune because of the synergy of the players and the heavy hand of Rick W. Any Spaz for Yes can see that!!!.........Hmmm,
Yes has the most Tunes represented, Do they indeed have the Song that represents or are they in fact the BAND that does!

Hmmm.,.. a nice thread and especially to come back to as I've forsaken the Moon for some time... forgive me!

I think I might have to put in a vote for "Close to the Edge". It was ground-breaking for its time. I remember frequently donning the headphones, and staring at the lush green cover... I wore that LP out...
