Xanadu93 will be excited to know that I just ordered 5 Yes albums:

 

The Yes Album

Fragile

Tales from Topographic Oceans

Going For The One

Drama

 

I've had Close To The Edge and Relayer for a while, and I realized that Yes is awesome enough to deserve some more purchases from me.

Nice choices. Holy Bible is more addictive than chocolate. Just a warning.

What is that? Got a link?

Very good purchases. There are a few others that are okay but that's pretty much the essential Yes albums right there.

I'm not the only one who will be excited! biggrin.gif

 

I agree with PK - those are pretty much the essential Yes albums.

What are the other ones?

 

I'm guessing Tormato?

 

EDIT: I already have Close To The Edge and Relayer.

Tormato is okay. Got some good material but also some really awful stuff like "Don't Kill the Whale."

 

90125 is pretty decent if you like "Owner of a Lonely Heart," the rest of the album is pretty good, but that just isn't what Yes is to me at all. I like Yes because I like them doing classically-influenced 20 minute sprawling prog rock epics. I don't need them to sound like an American arena-rock band.

 

The first two albums are worth getting. They're uneven but there's some quality material, and they're good for getting an idea of Yes's roots.

 

Everything after 90125 is generally pretty cheesy, falling into either the category of '80s pop or "we're going to try to make stuff that sounds like Close to the Edge again." Some of their older-sounding material is nice (like the Keys to Ascension studio tracks for instance, and in particular "Mind Drive") but the thing I've found is that the classic '70s Yes sound is not well suited to modern production values.

 

So basically, the albums you already have and are getting, and add the first two and Tormato and 90125, and you should be good.

 

Their live albums from the older tours are worth getting too, Yessongs and Yesshows.

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Phil Collins - Face Value

 

edit: they had Green Day's Bullet In A Bible for $9.99 (CD/DVD), but I need to save money for my trip as well as for the Green Day show, so I didn't get it.
