It would as a live set.  If you replaced New State of Mind with either A Venture or Looking Around, it'd make a great concert.

I would tell them to bugger off and that any true Yes fan knows you can't be limited to two discs.  Wink

Fine, then I'll get rid of the CTTE suite and Siberian Khatru (now that I think about it, I'm not all that crazy about SK anyway), and leave AYAI

2. Time and a Word (Time and a Word)
3. Yours is No Disgrace (The Yes Album)
4. I've Seen All Good People (The Yes Album)

14. Siberian Khatru (Close to the Edge)
15. The Revealing Science of God (Tales from Topographic Oceans)
16. Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) (Tales from Topographic Oceans)

Also, notice a pattern? I worked my way through the albums chronologically, picking the tracks I liked the best. Disc One: early years. Disc Two: later years.





you've got the entire CTTE album, you can't have an entire album on a best of.

Pah!
 
Does the world need another 2CD Yes anthology? Isn't 15 enough? Have Wall-Mart shifted the last one yet or are they still giving it away with Coco Pops? How many copies of the same recording of You And I does anyone actually need?
 
Even if you made a version of Yessongs from all the studio recordings, the original live version would still be better.
 
My choice: The first two CDs from Yesyears, but lose the dire America, I'll call this anthology Yescashin.
 
Disk 1: (72:50)
1. Something's Coming (7:06)
2. Survival (6:18)
3. Every Little Thing (5:41)
4. Then (4:18)
5. Everydays (4:08)
6. Sweet Dreams (3:49)
7. No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed (4:48)
8. Time and a Word (4:31)
9. Starship Trooper (9:26)
10. Yours is no Disgrace (9:40)
11. I've Seen All Good People (6:53)
12. Long Distance Runaround (3:33)
13. The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus) (2:35)

Disk 2: (72:43)
1. Roundabout (8:31)
2. Heart of the Sunrise (10:31)
3. Soon (edit) (4:06)
4. Close to the Edge (18:34)
5. Ritual (21:33)
6. Sound Chaser (9:23)
 
Which is pretty close to Yesstory without the Going For The One tracks isn't it?
 
Meh... where's the Virge when you need him? Disapprove
What?
