Yes' Albums in Your Favourite Order

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In general, all of them are GREAT 4 star at least each intro song, but the song that I consider THE(dee) OPENER it must be The Revealing Science of God.

Here's my list(not list of faves, but the songs that open best):

#1 The Revealing Science of God - TFTO (the vocals and the breakthrough with the moog, is just AMAZING)

#2 Roundabout - Fragile (espectacular acoustic intro and then changing with the great riff with the bass)

#3 Close to the Edge - CTTE (one of my least loved albums/songs by Yes, still I must admit it opens amazing great with the birds and finally breaking the climax with an amazing guitar)

#4 Gates of Delirium - Relayer (not that of an opener..)

#5 Yours is no Disgrace - The Yes Album (while it's a great song, as an opener I would prefer

EDIT!: Dude! What have I drunk or smoked? I read "Yes Album Opener in your Favorite Order", gees...

Here it goes:

1.The Yes Album

2.Drama

3.TFTO or Yessongs

4.Relayer

5.Fragile

6.Time and a Word

7.Close to the Edge

8.Yes

9.The Ladder

10.Magnification

11.Going for the One

	Although it's a small sample so far, i'm a bit surprised that the Yes Album isn't rating a bit higher. Your's is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People and Perpetual Change make up all but 6 minutes of it. These are 4 of Yes's most loved songs.

	Close to the Edge Relayer The Yes Album Fragile Topographic Oceans Easy to pick the top 5... don't know where i'd rate the rest below those. Going for the One Probably at #6 and Drama #7 I guess. There are a number of their albums i've never actually heard though.
	I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity...

	1. Relayer (Their Masterpiece) 2. Fragile (Their second-most crucial album) 3. The Yes Album (It has "Starship Trooper" and "Yours Is No Disgrace". What more could you want?) 4. Close to the Edge (One of the most overrated albums in all prog) 5. Drama (Great tunes for it to be the only Anderson-less release) 6. 90125 (Yes' most crucial record) 7. Keys to Ascension (Keystudio)

	1. Close to the Edge 2. Fragile 3. Tales That's it for me. Relayer, Going for the One and The Yes Album are alright, but not worthwhile for me.
