TOP TENS: Yes

Recommended Posts

I've always had a tentative relationship with Yes, mainly due to Anderson's voice and lyrics. But the music cannot be denied! What are your top ten tracks? Discussion welcome!

 

Below are mine, as of today, in approximate order.

 

Close to the Edge (the first Yes I ever heard)

South Side of the Sky

Starship Trooper

Tempus Fugit

Changes

Awaken

Going For the One

Machine Messiah

Gates of Delirium

The Revealing Science of God

hm, lemme try with my limited base to go on:

 

1. South Side Of The Sky

2. Your's Is No Disgrace

3. Perpetual Change

4. Close To The Edge -tied

4. And You And I -tied

4. Siberian Khatru -tied

5. The Clap

6. Starship Trooper

7. Roundabout

8. Leave It

9. Owner Of A Lonely Heart

10. Long Distance Runaround

 

 

I really can't separate anything from Close To The Edge. It's far too consistent and works so much better as a whole, though I might argue exactly where to put it. I could see it dropping to about six on another day.

In no particular order:

 

Gates of Delirium

Yours is No Disgrace

Heart of the Sunrise

Close to the Edge

Siberian Khatru

And You and I

Awaken

Turn of the Century

Wondrous Stories

Gotta ponder this one for a bit. So difficult and the entire GFTO album may be on the list. Awaken will be number one that is a certainty...
