Segue Myles Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yes are absolutely fantastic, but I must admit before taking the time to listen to them I was expecting to hear more similarities to Rush. Nevermind, Rush may be the better band overall to my ears, but Yes are not to be sniffed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I don't Hear Rush at all in yes.......but that's great. I still think yes has far and away the better 70's catalog. Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yes are absolutely fantastic, but I must admit before taking the time to listen to them I was expecting to hear more similarities to Rush. I think I expected them to be more similar to Rush going in too.. But thankfully they're completely different bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Tales, no Yes album matches my 12 favourite Rush albums (CoS-Presto and VT). But I am only in my early days of Yes fandom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Tales, no Yes album matches my 12 favourite Rush albums (CoS-Presto and VT). But I am only in my early days of Yes fandom!That should change dramatically. Truth is reading your posts as I have I would think Yes would be more your cup of tea. Time will tell. Listen to Going For The One carefully and closely a few times and I would bet this will change.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I am waiting for his lengthy dissertation on why union is the overlooked masterpiece of the 90s A part of me wonders if there is a chance I might embarrassingly fall head over heels in love with Union...much like I adore all the "dodgy" Rush albums!

If I can put The Lord Of The Rings down for an hour I will play it again just for you!Just relax. Have a glass of your favorite beverage. Light a couple candles and just listen. Turn Of The Century, Wonderous Stories and Awaken should take you away. GFTO and Parallels should just make you feel good and be happy to be alive and a lover of music.... :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickI like Tales, but I agree that it's a bit too overblown, and there's a bit too much filler for it to make it into my top 10. Revealing is one of my favorite Yes songs though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
