'Worst' track on...Fragile - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Cans & Brahms, easy.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me

Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

The fish is pretty boring

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

this is going to hurt a lot but its " Mr Wakeman`s " Cry

Music Is Live

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.

"We Have Heaven" is the most annoying for me. I actually don't dislike "Cans & Brahms".

^ It's silly, it's cheesy, it makes me laugh, I like it LOL

^just noticed that. Embarrassed

I meant to put it there. Still, probably wouldn't get more votes than C&B, WHH or 5%

Magma America Great Make Again

5% is 30 seconds of excellence. If you're a fan of true prog then how can u not like it? Long distance runaround has boring verses

My thoughts exactly..............a very tricky piece of genuine Prog. And whilst Cans And Brahms is generally the 'weakest' segment of the album, I admire Wakeman's interpretation on his array of keyboards. And the overall 'less-liked' pieces are short snippets that really don't offend, just highlighting each member's strengths in one way or another. The 'meat' of the album lies in the FANTASTIC longer cuts on offer, especially South Side............
.......one of the few 5 star albums by Yes for me - maybe 4.5 coz I enjoy Topographic and Drama a notch more.

I like all the short tracks. Length means nothing to me. It's the quality that counts. It's a strong 8.5/10 album. Weakest parts are the verses in long distance, the fish and the repetition of sunrise. On par with yes album and ctte. Time and a word would be close to these rankings especially if dear father was included. Tales and relayer maybe 8/10

Haven't played ctte for 10 years but it's still strong. I'd probably give tormato 8/10, drama 7.5/10 and gfto 7/10. Dsotm never really interested me apart from first 3 tracks. Maybe 7/10. I'm more into animals 8.5/10 and obscured and meddle which are 8/10

^ Yeah........Animals

......and Tormato is great - just like Genesis' ATTWT.........but not to derail the thread, I love how Squire expanded his bass parts of The Fish individually for live performance. Just shows how he multi-tracked his Ricky for the piece. And Yessongs is one of my top-10 Live extravaganzas ever.

I like side 2 of attwt. There's a cool outtake called the day the lights went out which I enjoyed more than a few of the album songs
