JohnRogers Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I am vaguely aware of Yes. Today for the first time I'm going to actually take a deep dive. I opened Amazon Music. I'll listen to The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge. Yours Is No Disgrace, sounds familiar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 You're not alone John. I'm 41 and have never given Yes a proper listen beyond the hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 When I was a young kid in the 80's watching the video music channel, the only thing I knew of Yes at the time was 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart'. Was only 3 but remember it when it came out. Dad had MTV on a lot. Got into them 6 years ago at age 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) I should add that when I was young and viewed both the video and another video titled by an 80's Canadian new wave act called Images In Vogue; it freaked me out because of the spiders and snakes. The Michael Jackson 'Thriller' video doesn't even come close to the above. Also, I remember when Jon Anderson made a guest appearance in Lawrence Gowan's video for in 1987. Anderson originally contributed background vocals to the song. Then when classic rock radio started to take off in the late 80's, I heard 'Roundabout' on air and then delved into the Yes catalogue from there.

You may love them, or you may like them, or you may not like them, but..... .... I guarantee that at some point, you will wonder out loud, "What in God's name is he singing about?!" :laughing guy: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTE has more bounce per ounce..... i love those 3 records and 90125, otherwise i am luke warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What three albums do I tackle next? Probably the least controversial choices to listen to next would be:Going For The One90125Relayer if you want the most excessive proggy double album ever, try Tales From Topographic Oceans instead of one of the three above, and if you want more solid stuff from their classic period, try Drama, Tormato, and Big Generator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 They have a wide variety of types of music and no one album is very similar to another, imo. If you end up liking Tales From Topographic Oceans or especially Tormato, you'll be in the minority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't joking, how comes it that you have suffered for decades from this deprivation? Shame on you, John Rogers.
