1994: Geoff Downes - Evolution Yes, I know I'm Livin' on a Prayer if I think Heaven & Earth has an earthly chance of winning this poll.  |

This is the first time I've ever voted for Heaven & Earth. Astra isn't too far behind. I vaguely remember a day when the Earth was inside a huge pair of pants. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Wetton Downes (and not really a favorite in my list). The rest, I don't really care for. |

Not a lot to vote for here. Went with Yes, with Asia just behind. Neither album spends a lot of time on the turntable. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

It's probably the only time Heaven & Earth stands an earthly chance of winning a poll, even though it still remains one of my favourite YES albums.

Fair enough. I think of it more as a middle-of-the-road kind of album, comparable to The Ladder. I think it's better than The Quest. I'll probably get my prog credentials revoked for saying that. It's a long way from something like Relayer, but it's a pleasant enough listen. It certainly has a good shot in this poll. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Yes "Heaven & Earth" is NOT rated 4 stars. The PA rating is 2.29. ------------- Progfan1958 "Peace to you all" "La paix est avec vous" "Pax vobiscum" "Al salaam a'alaykum" "Vrede zij met u allen" "Shalom aleichem" |

Admittedly, if the results of this poll are anything to go by, my own personal 4-star rating for "Heaven & Earth" may look a trifle over-optimistic in retrospect.
