Lucas Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The Yes Album is my favorite of them all. and "Heart of the Sunrise" is my favorite song. I agree .. Heart Of The Sunrise is a masterpiece, as is South Side Of The Sky Jon Anderson's Olias Of Sunhillow and Rock Wakeman's Six Wives Of Henry The VIII are also two of my all time favorite albums .... geeesh, so is Steve Howe's The Steve Howe Album The creative energy these guys possessed was unmatched, and their output has been nothing short of incredible 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I've seen Yes more than any other band... followed them a lot in the 90s and 00s. The Yes Album is an all time classic, not to mention Close to the Edge... Edited April 3, 2017 by Mystic Slipperman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 And if you're really just beginning, there's two Yes's now last I heard as if there weren't enough guys in the band already.. I think they split the original band in half and filled all the gaps with guys from tribute bands or something.. oh well, more guys to enjoy the rrhof (or not) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 For those brand new to Yes I recommend these in this order: Close to the Edge, Fragile, The Yes album, Going for the One, Relayer and then Drama. After that Tales from Topographic Oceans and 90125. If you like those then just go and buy the rest just don't expect them to be as good. They were a bit of a different animal in the eighties and later but still had plenty of good moments. Also, I'm glad to see them finally inducted into the Rock and ROll Hall of fame with the help of Geddy and Alex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right. You should start with the best which is why I suggested starting with Close to the Edge which is regarded by most Yes fans as their best. 90125 is a good pop rock album but not a very good representation of what Yes was all about. Anyone who is really into the band understands that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which really means people who reflexively reject anything a band releases that enjoys widespread popularity. Because they think it burnishes their bona fides. The idea that 90125 is "pop rock," is a stretch, as that term is usually used. You're right it's a "popular" record. That's because people who don't buy different versions of an album for the "new liner notes," bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Last night at the R&RHOF Geddy said this is the song that turned him on to Yes. The bass lines are very cool. http://youtu.be/A_NrBG0FUWA Alex mentioned Owner Of A Lonely Heart, more than once.
