Anyway, APs have been killer. My free time increased by a lot so it won't be long.


Well I hope you're happy. I've ripped out one of my pubic hairs for each day i've waited. I'm now on nipple hairs. Please, do not make me do it

Well while everyone is rife with anticipation, why not contribute some snippits for the final list.

Or a last minute entry.

But please snippits.

The Lamb has been my favorite album for about 30 years.  I love the ambiguity, mystery of trying to figure out the meaning.  To quote PG from Supper's Ready, " as you listen to my voice to serch for hidden doors...".  the Lamb takes me on a journey in my mind and isn't that the essence of Prog?  Don't we all do that with our favorite music?  While I listen I become Rael, I'm trapped and can't move during Fly on a Windshied, I get dizzy during In the Cage and so on.  Listening to the Lamb is a viseral experience.  In the late 70's I used to listen to it once a day all the way through. I know many of you don't like disc 2, I love it.  I sometimes fall alsleep during Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats (afterall it was my first sexual experience!), and am ruding awakened In the Colony of Sipperymen.  gabe's voice in The Lamia is exquisiteTongueCrytears of profound sadness and joy simultaneously.  Don't worry I won't ever write a review of the Lamb as I have no objectivity at all.
 
  don't know if that's a snippet, I know for the other list you took things people wrote from their review of the album and this is not a review.
 
Moreitsy (Daniel?) puts a lot of work into this. So lets give him more to work with, hope this helps.

The Yes Album is pretty much the one whole album that got me into prog: it is quite simply perfect. Although there is the absence of Wakeman, that does not set it back one bit. Tony Kaye sets back as a "rhythm keyboard player" and lets the rest of the band do their thing, and it creates a lush timbre that is very well balanced. The songwriting is also flawless: Yours is no Disgrace, of course, is one of the greatest prog songs of all time, and certainly one of Yes's most memorable moments; Starship Trooper has the best ending in rock and roll history; The Clap shows Howe at his best; Your Move/ I've Seen All Good People is a perfect combination of prog and R&B; Perpetual change is just as genius as the others and A Venture is a nice filler. All round, i really love this album.
