WHAT???

HAHA.  Just busting on you; tastes, after all.  But I dug the original and thought it was pretty creative what Yes did with it.

I know, I know. It's just that the short songs are kind of funny and cool, whereas America never did anything for me. So I'd even take Bruford's excercise in weirdness over it.  ;D

Although I like America I think the perfect end for this record is Heart Of The Sunrise as it was on vinyl. When I upgraded to compact disc I had a hard time getting used to another tacked on bonus track.

This is why I've made CD-r's and playlists with an altered tracklist for a long time now that moved "America" to close "side one" of the album:
Roundabout
Five Per Cent For Nothing
Long Distance Runaround
The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)
America*

We Have Heaven
Southside Of The Sky
Cans And Brahms
Mood For A Day
Heart Of The Sunrise

It keeps the rhythm-section-showcase together on side one, which closes with the epic-length "America", and side two opens with "We Have Heaven", which bookends nicely with the hidden reprise after "Heart Of The Sunrise", with the melodic-section showcase in the middle with CAB and MFAD. It's been my preferred listening order for as long as I can remember and it has a nice flow to it too.

Five Per Cent For Nothing might be the single most annoying thing any band ever recorded and called a song.
