Your bands greatest hit - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Jesus Rum, you've been here only 3 days and you have almost as many posts as me. Get some hobbies dude.

I'm really just kidding, don't take offense. Anyway, hmmmmm...Genesis' Supper's Ready, although I'm sure that wasn't a huge money maker for them, as the only time I've ever heard that song on the radio was on a program in Cincinnati called the "Get Back Show" and the theme for that particular week was "Songs in need of a better editor"

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

whats your bands greatest hit, it doesn't have to be money wise its just your personel opinion.

for rainbow i'd have to say make your move of bent out of shape

Rum26, why are you discussing Rainbow here? Great band, but not prog.

Your statement above is incorrect. Rainbow's best-selling album, I believe, was the incredible Down to Earth, and the highest charting single was either All Night Long or I Surrender.

As for "personal opinion," Rainbow's last two albums with Turner on vox were absolute sh*te. Turner's first album with Rainbow, Difficult to Cure, was awesome, but Straight Between the Eyes and Bent Out of Shape were AOR-crap created for US radio.

btw, if you haven't already, you should pick up the excellent book Rainbow Rising. I got it from amazon.co.uk

"Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin

kirklott its your own opinion, unles you didn't read the top, and by the way bent out of shape is sh*t load better than down to earth, i own them both.

yeah well, i don't care about their personal issues but the music is like i said before, a sh*t load better!!

To the commercial audience: Yes's greatest hits are Roundabout and Owner Of A Lonely Heart.

To Yes fans: Yes's greatest hit is Starship Trooper

not in my book. starship trooper is good, but heart of the sunrise creates more atmoshere, shows off anderson's vocal chops and songwriting better and displays each musician's musical prowess equally and effectivly as well.

My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Not in mine, either. SirPsycho might have been mislead by the milloions of times Starship Trooper was played at concerts, and even Wakey (who wasn't even in the original studio line-up) himself covered it thousand times! Though I respect your opinion stonebeard, my highlights among Yes fans would be the all-time great Close to the Edge (look at Sir Psycho's signature, for God's sake!!!), Awaken, and my personal (and I suppose most everyone's) favorite Gates of Delirium. Roundabout, too, has an appeal to Yes fans besides its commercial success. But my favorite from that album is South Side of the Sky. Listen again!

A comment on King Crimson coming up!

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
