Re: The Yes Thread

I wish .. Yes are the only band she hates more than ELP. Two of my faves can you believe it.

Re: The Yes Thread

^^I do find it hard to believe, two of my fave prog bands of all time...fortunately she has other good qualities in abundance that allow you to put this one flaw aside...:oyea:

I think I'll make a run for it now...;)

Re: The Yes Thread

^^I am old fashioned Nolo, I would start at the beginning and go through them all in sequence...I love the linear approach to an old band's catalog.

As long as you play the complete albums and not "random or shuffle" then whatever works for you, the important thing is you have Yes in the house.:D

Re: The Yes Thread

I've learned my lesson the other day on shuffles. Some bands, for instance Tractor, I played on shuffle and liked only one song. When I bought the album and played 19 songs sequenced I liked all of them.

So I will follow you, NP

Re: The Yes Thread

After listening to this album I have to admit it's got some ELPish Hammond organ sound and Argent melody and vocal harmony. I like Looking Around track.

Re: The Yes Thread

I always play an album a few times before I form any kind of opinion, especially a prog band like Yes. But if you are blazing through all their albums and then revisiting them I hope a few jump out at you, most hardcore fans have the same list of favorites when the dust settles.:D

Re: The Yes Thread

For now I want to listen each track once to meet this band from the beginning. I don't think I will blast all of them over again after that, surely though I will enjoy certain era as I heard a sample in "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" (Rick Wakeman was the guest, hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, S18E05) and don't know what it was, but sounded amazing. :D
