Rate Our Song. I personally believe this is the best 80's Yes track, and deserves a 10. Make sure you listen to the song before you vote.

Did I really have to listen? It's permanently stamped in my mind. The bass runs alone bring OUR SONG to Tenville.

No need to listen to it. I know it by heart and I find it great. I put a 9.

I agree, certainly the best on 90125. It sounds classic!

A definite 10 for me. I love Chris's bass on this song and it just floats along quite beautifully. The question has to be asked, though: why did YES never play this wonderful song live? As I have stated in several other posts, I rate this song in my top three from 90125, yet I don't think it was ever performed in concert. Strange indeed!Maybe the next tour!

Yeah it was and I saw it. I went to the very first concert Yes did on February 28h of 1984. It was at Millersville University in Millersville Pennsylvania. Trevor Rabin introduced Jon Anderson as "the newest member of the band." It's referred to as the warm-up show for the 90125 tour.

And they played Our Song.

I gave it an 8; very nice song which has grown on me although I prefer Hearts much more, which is the song is usually compared to on this album.

I gave it a 7. It is one of my least favorite tracks from 90125 and I think it is the only song on the album, that sounds a bit outdated nowaydays. Nevertheless, I think 90125 is a great album, so even the least favorite track get a 7, 'cause it's still a fine song....

I've always liked this song...it's joyful for me. "Music good to you, Music good to you!" And what a slick, killer 8 bar guitar solo Trevor gives us in this one. Really nice. I gave it a 9.
However, I have to agree with Gabriel that Hearts is probably my fav on this album.

The lyrics are abit sappy I gotta admit.

I love the song when its done live though; I have a good recording of it thanks to Mr. Hollands compilation of rare live tracks and think it came off really good!

9. It's an enjoyable, energetic, catchy song, even if the lyrics don't make much sense.
