tangy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 90125: noted! You have to make this a priority...a fantastic album! Yeah it still sounds great. I still laugh at the shirt i bought at the show. I was having an especially raging evening and bought a pink, sleeveless t shirt complete with glow in the dark graphics. Owner of a ugly shirt!

And for those who say otherwise, I don't understand how either CTTE or Relayer can be so good, as they are virtually part one and three of the same trilogy, both in terms of style and impact for me.

I like that idea! I'll have to try that. I was in a heavy Miles Davis phase when I discovered Tales, that is what sucked me in (after choosing it based solely on the artwork!). I will never understand how serious prog fans do not like this album. I am a casual prog fan, and I think its one of the best! Almost all the other classics sound merely OK to my ears in comparison! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Along with Rush and a few others one of my favorite bands by far. In fact I have seen them far more than any other band(11 times; Rush only 4 times). My personal favorites are: Close to the EdgeRelayerFragileTalkGoing for the oneThe Yes album Most of their albums are good though with many being great. 90125 is a bit over rated although I liked it back in the eighties. Big Generator I like more because I think it's closer to their earlier prog sound. Talk has "endless dream" which is one of their greatest epics. "The ladder" is a very good world music influenced rock album and is a bit different but still very enjoyable. Lots of great music to discover in their catalog. The real uber Yes fans on here might want to consider joining yesfans.com . Edited December 20, 2015 by New_World_Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Saw ARW in Manchester last night. The best live Yesmusic I've heard since the Full Circle tour in 03. Stunning. I felt that way after seeing them in Anaheim CA this past December. Best Yes-related thing I've seen since 2004. And that's a little hard to swallow, since I am friends with at least two people in the current "official" lineup.... I dig what they are doing too, but this was something else.
