Not much difference in our ages -- I keep my specific year secret for legal reasons ;) but I was born in the early 70s. Lots of us of the Too Young to Have Properly Prog Rock 'n' Rolled in its Classic Years: Too Old to Not Be Amazed by Vinyl Records Because We Grew Up With CDs. ;) Okay, some of these younger Prog kids will have seen records in museums, their grandparents collections, their parents collections, thrift stores and actually a host of other places. But we were a generation that was using vinyl regularly (maybe cassette tapes more in the 80s) BEFORE it made a comeback...

Brufird/Levin !

Quantum Guitar is one of Steve Howe's very best solo albums, but NOTHING compares to 90125!

^ I believe in the biz they call that an alternative take. With shreds, bad is good, but some shreds are brilliantly bad in their ways. I have heard/seen much better shreds.

It did not leave a very positive impression on me at the time. 90125 was the first YES album I ever bought and it still remains one of my favourites. The classic 1970's YES era completely passed me by during my teenage years.

I have shared this before. The album that most got me from Yes as a teenager (this was in the lase 80s while in high school) was Fragile. A friend introduced it to me and I immediately adored it. A couple of years later I was staying over with someone and 90125 was in the collection and I put that on. That was a very memorable night, but not for the music, or at least not for that music. I did know "Owner of Lonely Heart" well already for the radio edit and music video.
generally speaking with Yes, I loved Fragile so much back then that anytime I heard other Yes I just wanted to change it to Fragile. I can be obsessive.

None of this albums is on the top of my list. I finally decided to vote for Patrick Moraz.

Steve Howe, followed by Yes.

Bruford Levin Upper Extremities. I like talking to sliding boards.
