Rick N. Backer Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm gonna say it. I really don't like 90125. it comes across as Yes trying to be current and just failing. The pop sound wasn't a good look on yes....and to suggest it's their best album lowkey kinda hurts me, lol Mick I actually think with Rabin their songs were not so much "pop" as they were a little heavier.I give Rabin his due as a great guitarist, but Yes without Howe is just...'Maybe'. Alot of the prog bands moved beyond that to more accessible material around that time. some did better than others (kansas..pop band...ugh fail). I always thought Rabin did great guitar work all over 90125, but to imagine Howe's take on the same songs and riffs and melodies...I can't help but think it could be even better. Hard to image Howe playing Owner of a Lonely Heart, but maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to image Howe playing Owner of a Lonely Heart, but maybe. he's played it every time I've seen them I misspoke. I meant creating it. I’m sure he’s a decent enough guitarist to play the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
