laughedatbytime Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 As a full album, 90125. All the talent and showmanship, minus any and all excess. Their best album by miles IMO. So Rabin has to get some of the credit.By miles? Surely you jest. While it's a fine album, it is no where near the brilliance of their 70's output. I like their 70s stuff. 90125 is the only album of theirs I truly love though.^^^Not a real fan... ;) BogusYesFan™Real fans vote for Tales of Topographic Oceans 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Maybe, the person, who we know has said about Van Halen's first six c.ds, and albums are, and have been better, than ninety-five percent of the other music out there, by trying to influence us for saying that, he would like, and might like to try saying that on, and in another public, and community forum post.

So Rabin has to get some of the credit. I thought his voice was a good compliment to Jon's. His guitar playing wasn't too shabby either, but he's no Steve.Steve blew my mind live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Difficult to choose, I love all 3, and I love The Yes Album & Big Generator as well. Those 5 Yes albums are my go to albums by Yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) 90125 is where I was introduced to Yes, and, yes [pun perhaps intended], through MTV's heavy rotation of "Owner . . ." I think the next album I bought was the Live: The Solos from that tour, which was a lot more like "classic" Yes, so from there I worked my way backwards, but that first experience of the band is still the best.

goose Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 From a review re: 90125 ... I will always prefer a solid pop album over a dogshit prog one. Writing a set of catchy, concise and effective tunes is potentially just as much a challenge as penning a grandiose epic; it just requires a separate set of skills. Yes had long-since established themselves as masters of the latter, and the decade prior to the release of 90125 was filled with lasting testaments to their skill as a band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangy Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 To know close to the edgeIs to love close to the edge The funkiest old school prog ever was. Great stuff.

custom55 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) The Solos Tour - Yes 1976. This was the peak of my Yes listening years. I Lost touch during Going For the One, Tormato and Drama years as I thought the musical was subpar but came back for 90125 and forward. I loved and played Big Generator a lot !!! I saw Yes many many times over the years. The Solos Tour was especially good. http://youtu.be/DYx7ik-btYo Edited January 5, 2020 by custom55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Went with Close To The Edge. Relayer is probably my favorite Yes album but was not part of the poll. Not too big on Trevor Rabin. Very technically good but it's not the sort of thing that I'm into. Kind of like why I never got big into Vai, Satriani, etc.... Saw them together on stage during the Union tour. Rabin's solo was probably better. But, Howe played Clap for his solo, so you knew what was coming.Plus I love the old school Gibsons that Howe plays.

Derek19 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) This "Yes Poll" thread hasn't, and didn't take an interesting turn, and anything else like one other particular person, who we know decided to say. It's been about Yes' music, and songs, and not any other band's, group's, and artist's. Before she said anything else, especially to really good people, she should always have a good attitude towards them, and shouldn't have felt alone, while being married. Without knowing anything else, and realizing, some people like to do a lot of talk. For other people, other certain ones should leave a better lasting impression, than having to use course language, and swear. For whatever the topic threads are including music, I usually do stick to them. For having a stroke, and anything else, I haven't had, and don't have any problems, and issues. By the way, I took that as a joke. Edited February 3, 2020 by Derek19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
