About YES

I'm always open to thread of bands I know! Even if they have already been done! I've done the same many times, so don't worry, just in the lapse of time try not to do it.....

In the meantime, here's my list of fave albums and songs from each one:
#1 The Yes Album (Perpetual Change)
#2 Drama (Does it Really Happen)
#3 Fragile (Roundabout)
#4 TFTO (The Revealing Science of God)
#5 Relayer (To Be Over)
#6 Time and a Word (Astral Traveller)
#7 Yes (Survival)
#8 Close to the Edge (Siberian Khatru)
#9 Magnification (Dreamtime)
#10 The Ladder (The Ladder)
#11 GFTO (Parallels)

I won't list the others since they don't rank IMO as for the quality of the ones listed.

Worst album? Prog? or Pop? I can barely name a bad PROG album, but it must Big Generator as for Pop, 90125 is a very good POP album as well as 80's Genesis.

My fave member is Chris Squire, for his amazing and innovating bass playing.

Once again Welcome!

Yes is my favorite prog band. Genesis is second. King Crimson third.

Yes is also my favorite. Even though some of the albums don't rank, as Cacho feels, there's something good on all of them (just on some, more stuff sucks than is good!)

^I disagree.  Yes would have defunct surely with the original line-up just listen to Tormato, the last one with the original line-up before the "drastic" change. It's not their worst, but it's by no means a good Prog album, they were lacking of ideas, and therefore released Drama with Buggles members and that was a really good album with a different sound, but by miles much better than Tormato, it had original ideas and good blend of New Wave and Prog.
Also check Union, the original line-up including BRUFORD, you should have expected another CTTE or other of the like, but no you have Big Generator mixed up with some really lazy stuff. I know the problem with the producer, still they weren't able to release any strong effort since GFTO. Magnification doesn't has Rick Wakeman, so for you it doesn't count.

Oh and BTW, it's not nice to change of subject promoting your inclusion of a band that has been rejected many times.

And something else, it wasn't Collins who destroyed the original Genesis sound. The 3 of them had participation to make a Pop band, Mike Rutherford writing one of the first pop singles from Genesis, Your Own Special Way. Rutherford also wrote many other singles, which that leads that Collins himself didn't ruin Genesis. I also think that the word 'destroy' isn't a good way of expressing something of a band sound.

Ok How can you say Tormato was not a good prog album ? Are you not listening to the awesome effects on the bass ? This is oozing with prog!  I love On The Silent Wings Of Freedom , and Release Release ! 
I listen to the whole record . What is it about this record that prog fans don't get ?
and ,Drama is also a great record ! I would rather listen to both of those instead of Topagraphic Ocean

Damn, this post has caused a lot of $#!+. Nonetheless...
