Knowing the good ol' "hall of shame", they'll probably get coerced into doing a medley of a 4-minute Roundabout with a segue into Owner of a Lonely Heart. But as for what they should perform? Tales, obviously. All of it. With extended solos. And extra verses. Twice.

truth!!!!!! obviously it will be some halfassed Roundabout/Owner of Lonely Heart concoction. Nah... not watching that I'll catch the highlights here.. in all the years of the R&R HOF.. I've only made it a point to watch one ceremony. My god that party was legendary... I had a party at my place to celebrate the ABB getting in (that was the excuse at least)... cases of beer were consumed.. empty whiskey bottles were thrown....windows were smashed... dealers were stiffed....virginities were lost.... police were dispatched... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Either Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People, Roundabout, or You and I. As much as we would like to hear a deep cut, I just don't see Yes performing The Gates of Delirium for the ridiculous hall of fame. Like many of you, I feel the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is petty, irrelevant, and unimportant.

What a joke, they should have been in long ago. What I wonder is will Jon Anderson join them and sing instead of their current singer. It will most likely be Roundabout since that was sort of their mainstream breakthrough.... -------------

I thought of Close to the Edge, Roundabout, Starship Trooper, Yours is No Disgrace or maybe Owner of a Lonely Heart. But the real answer to what Yes should perform is Tales from Topographic Oceans in full.

I haven't even bothered to look who exactly was inducted. It isn't simply just the band that gets selected..... Alan White is surely part of it... did Bruford? if both did and likely both were part of the group induction then yeah.. some sort of Union thing.

They should stun all the hipsters with "The Gates Of Delirium", play the opening guitar riff from "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", then all of "Tales From Topographic Oceans", close with "Close To The Edge". Then walk out without speaking to anyone, and never set foot there again. But of course they'll play "Owner", "Roundabout", and maybe "Your Move" & "I've Seen All Good People". I just wonder who will show up for this. Bruford? Wakeman? Rabin? Annnnnnnnnnderson? ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |
Posted By: twosteves
Date Posted: December 21 2016 at 20:49
Probably correct---it's a shame the powers that be at RRHOF don't get prog but it has always been that way so Yes probably got in because of 90125 ---the easy listening 80's Yes--more than Tales or Relayer--- What I don't understand is why a band like Moody Blues---didn't get in a long time ago---they have the sales and the easy listening part---plus Nights in White Satin is a major world wide song---more so than OOALH and much better popular song.  As far as who will show up---from the things they have said so far---Wakeman has said he will not---Bruford seems to say no too---Howe seems to want to show up----I assume the California west coast boys---Anderson Rabin and White will show up----I know don't know about Kaye. Obviously this could change as Howe has insinuated from now until show time.

Well, Wakeman might just as well do that. He may be busy washing his hair. And now that it's official they are inducted, he has confirmed he has no intention to attend. |
Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: December 21 2016 at 21:00
For what I have read, I have the impression they are inducted as much for their work on the 70's as well as for 90125. Besides, why would they include Wakeman, Howe, and Bruford if that wasn't the case. |
Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: December 21 2016 at 21:06
| For what I have read, I'm not sure they will end up playing... at least not the whole buch that is being inducted. I would expect Wakeman and Bruford not to play... perhaps not even attend (at least Wakeman). If they were to play anything, I guess the most obvious choices would be "Roundabout" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart"... I have read that they usually choose 3 songs, so they might add something like Starship Trooper, And You And I, I've Seen All Good People, Yours is no Disgrace, or something more from 90125. Of course, my dream choice for 3 songs would be Close to the Edge, Gates of Delirium, and Awaken. |

such a horrible song---a few weeks ago I listened to all the Yes west albums and it was surprising how much of it I hated lol---or rather couldn't listen to. Surprisingly I found the best songs on Big Gen. Love will find a way is Rabins best pop song by far. But Shoot High, I'm running and Final Eyes and Holly Lamb are ok

Re the Moody Blues, all you have to do is look at how the Rolling Stone Record Guide dismissed them to understand how the practically synonymous RRHOF hasn't inducted them. I mean, it would be hard to find a more successful rock band as reviled by that whole lot as the Moodys. To add insult to injury, they gave the best rating of any Moodys album to the first one from 1965! When Rolling Stone published their top 50 prog rock albums of all time, they made amends with several bands that they had dissed in the past - eg - choosing Renaissance "Ashes are Burning" for the list, which they had given 1 star to in the record guide. But no such truce with the Moodys, who were completely left out even though Days of Future Passed (not nearly my favorite album by them) was a pivotal prog album.

They could play whatever they want. I mean, like someone already wrote it in the previous two pages, is it really Yes without Squire or Anderson? They will play a mediocre medley of their biggest hits, shake hands with the officials, have some warm champagne and self-congratulate for entering the Rock'n'Roll version of the Tussaud wax museum... Hey, maybe they have already turned into wax statues for a while! |

I couldn't agree more and imho The Moodies should be in before Yes......the Moodies were a seminal early 'prog band' and no doubt influenced many others. How they can be passed by and yet Floyd, Genesis, and Yes are in is beyond me , but then we are dealing with a bunch of idiots in the RRHOF. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.
