As above.. but with a slight caveat regarding 'Yours is no disgrace' which although its not the 'best' track on te lp, its the one which i have fondest thoughts and memories (as its the first Yes track i ever heard at about 8 or 9!) ------------- |

Starship Trooper Perpetual Change Yours is no disgrace I've seen all good people Clap (not the clap as it is erroneously spelled on the original album) A venture (should have been called a venture to nowhere)(this is the more fool me of the Yes album)

Yours is no disgrace Perpetual Change Clap I've seen all good people Starship Trooper (unpopular opinion, but I never understood why this one was so popular) A Venture ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

| ^In my opinion it's because it has a really great melody in the first section, a cool acoustic guitar transition and a very fine outro(wurm). |

1. Yours Is No Disgrace 1. Starship Trooper 3. Clap 4. I've Seen All Good People 5. A Venture (I like the mood about it, and the jazzy drumming; a bit short maybe..) 6. Perpetual Change (more of a rocker, slow and disperse but very "Yes-identifiable" and welcome) Yours.. and Starship Trooper: Two monsters really. I slightly like Yours.. better and/or listen more often.
Yeah.. and IMO beautiful and unique guitar arpeggios and I'd say transitions in general :) Clap: Is special for me. Spent many hours rewinding the tape to try to play it on the guitar. When my friend, the one that lent me his brother's cassettes and CDs, told me it was only one guitar I didn't believe him. Also, I stumbled upon an issue with YouTube Music.. 🧐 on track 9 of 'Classic Yes' it appears the one from 'Yes Album' instead of the original 'Classic Yes' live version  (that I grew accustomed with and maybe like more). Here's the live version:  |

Benny the Clap, That's funny!  I never actually minded the song, don't love it , don't hate it but I get that it is not popular with many Yes fans.

Same for me, although I'd tempted to make 1 and 2 equal first.

I've Seen All Good People come and go here at ProgArchives during this strange time of Perpetual Change, and Yours is No Disgrace if you Venture to say you prefer Sarah Brightman's Starship Trooper to the Yes version, as I do, although I realise that bizarre assertion will probably be met by a slow hand Clap amongst prog aficionados.

I've already done it with Genesis' Trick of the Tail album.
 If I see a bunch of related songs or album titles, then I just can't resist stringing them together in My Own Special Way into a sentence or story. |

Do you prefer Abba's super trooper to starship trooper also?  Oh wait, that's super trouper. Ok, close enough.

^ Yes, ABBA's Super Trouper is super duper! I used to fantasise about going out on a date with the blonde one from ABBA, but knowing my luck, it'd probably turn out to be the blonde one with the beard.

| Starship Trooper. And that's the only one I really like from that album, even though there's nothing particularly bad either. |

Yours Is No Disgrace Starship Trooper Perpetual Change The Clap I've Seen All Good People A Venture Pains me to put I've Seen All Good People and The Clap that low. Really some of my favorite Yes tracks. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

1. Yours is no Disgrace 2. Starship Trooper 3. Perpetual Change 4. Clap 5. I’ve Seen all Good People 6. A Venture Ranking notwithstanding, 3-6 are all very close.

No need to rank them, they're all on the same level. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
