Texas King Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 For me CTTE crushes Hemispheres in every possible aspect. I suppose that Hemi will win this poll by a thin margin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Close to the Edge very, very easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) You mean side one of Hems versus side one of CTTE? CTTE, easily. Edited January 3, 2018 by Entre_Perpetuo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hemispheres is Rush's greatest prog song. But no Rush song will ever eclipse Close to the Edge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hemispheres is Rush's greatest prog song. But no Rush song will ever eclipse Close to the Edge. That. Plus, the "I have memory and awareness" section of Hemispheres is kinda clunky-sounding to me, and it pales in comparison to CTTE's "I get up, I get down." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) I have a lot of great memories listening to CTTE so it's an easy vote for me. It's a masterpiece to my ears. I was at the YES show in 2004 at MSG where the audience would not let the band finish And You and I. I shed a tear when this happened. about 2:45 in Edited January 3, 2018 by custom55 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Not even close for me, Hemispheres by yuuuge margin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Edge because its perfect. Hemis is a tad long and way more repetitive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You'll get no argument from me in saying Close To The Edge is the greatest song - and album - of all time .. I love it, and YES is one of the few bands where I can say that I really love each member .. But there is something special about Hemispheres, and I feel more connected to the three nerds who, a mere 4 years earlier were basically a bar band playing high schools .. There's a untouchable fire in that Rush has, and Hemispheres is the peak .. Hemispheres wins here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hemispheres is Rush's greatest prog song. But no Rush song will ever eclipse Close to the Edge.This exactly. Hemeisphere's is one of my very favourite Rush songs...but Close to the Edge is closer to the edge ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Cygnus, and it's not close. Close to the Edge doesn't even make my list of top-10 Yes songs. I've always found it a bit wonky, rambling and amelodic. It's got some great moments, but I've never understood the love it gets. I'd take just about anything from Fragile or The Yes Album over CTTE.

I tend to abbreviate Hemispheres when I'm typing just because we all know what song is being referred to, but I'll try to type out the full name if I'm talking to you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes is definitely much influenced by classical music, while Rush barely (Xanadu is the only example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Madrigal? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
