Good choice - TALK is easily my favourite album with Trevor Rabin...

Absolutely, 'Endless Dream' is fantastic, so powerful, and Andersons vocals are superb. I think his voice works really well with Rabins.

I'd love to see that too, I haven't.  If you find anything I hope you'll please post the link there. 

When I listen to Yessongs, I really enjoy the tracks with Bruford, just because I love his style, his thoughtfulness.  White by comparison does all these kind of annoying arena-pop things to the Yes songs when live... well, that's as far as I go, I can never really be harsh on him.  After all, he drummed on what I call the greatest prog album ever, Tales, and on many other great records, and a nice job at that.

Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?

Yes, I listen to Yes.  Yes, indeed.  Relayer, CTTE, TFTO, and Fragile most often of theirs, with The Yes Album not far behind.

Yes is one of the most prominent figures in Prog scene, and so in my life. I love it, I really listen it. But, I admit it that my Yes rotation frequency is far below mine of Genesis or Peter Hammill. But when the mood is coming, I could play a marathon of Yes' albums from Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans, Relayer to Yessongs.

I'm listening to "The Remembering (High The Memory)" right now. Incredible song. Incredible album. I still listen to Yes, one of the bands that got me into Prog in the first place. I have to pay my respects every now and again Wink

Just the track "I'm Down" from the YesYears box, plus the live "Gates" and "Ritual" on Yesshows. These three date from '76.

Oh YEAH! 

I mean Yes is like THE most amazing band or so. Big smile
I listen very often to Relayer and Close (they're my favourites)

ClapGreat to have a metal head on board with the Yes crew.  Sometimes the rest of us can't quite lift those big heavy swords, what with being so stoned and mystical and allLOL.  (I kid... because I love.)

I'm more into prog metal right now than Yes, so I've left them in the dust. I never liked them as much as Genesis anyway....
