I'm hoping to improve Heaven & Earth's lukewarm reputation amongst Yes fans  by posting this thread. Smile

Sorry, you won’t. It excels itself in utter mediocrity.

^ Of course I am. Heaven & Earth is my #8 Yes album, way above Relayer, which currently resides at #12. Smile
This is my current Top 10 line-up of Yes albums:-
 
1. The Ladder
2. Talk
3. Going for the One
4. Close to the Edge
5. The Yes Album
6. Fly from Here
7. Magnification
8. Heaven & Earth
9. Tales from Topographic Oceans
10. 90125

One of the most ridiculous lists I've ever seen around here. There, I said it. Evil Smile

That looks like a perfectly sensible list to me, and not ridiculous at all. Smile

^ Both lists are personal choices, and both look fine to me.
And remember, regarding The Doors - I rate Other Voices very highly. Yet I’ve never met anyone, not a soul, who rates post-Jim Doors with anything but scorn.

When I think of you two I often think of The Odd Couple (or an old married couple who often bicker). It's actually quite endearing in a way.

To each his or her own tastes. "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes".

I have noticed that people say things like "You have the right to respectfully disagree" but I don't hear people saying "You have the right to disrespectfully agree." I'm sure it's been said, I just haven't heard anyone but myself say it. I've also heard "You have the right to be wrong" but not "You have the wrong to be right" or "You have the right to be left and the left to be right."

I like Full Circle, I listened to it more than Other Voices. No scorn. I even find two albums with Morrison rather weak, but still listenable - The Soft Parade and Waiting for the Sun. Story goes, for both albums, material the band came with was rejected. The famous example is Celebration of the Lizard, which, ironically, was a crowd favorite when played live. Evil Smile

I wouldn't say I regard The Doors Other Voices album with scorn, but when I watched the 1972 Beat Club performance last night to support the album, I fell asleep. Smile

O.K. Full Circle is pretty good. And Soft Parade (I nearly wrote ‘machine’...) is my least fave, does have Shaman, Wild Child and title song but the rest is blah. Waiting for the Sun is my fave Jim album. And it should’ve had Celebration (at least it’s on Absolutely Live).
Oh, and yet another (non) victory to me for derailing the Yes thread

Cristi & I are indeed an odd couple, and you've made me wonder now if it's really possible to disrespectfully *agree* with someone. Tongue

you brought up the Doors LOL
all Doors albums are listenable, some are just more interesting than others.
Some of the rejected songs from the albums mentioned above were released posthumously. Other rejected ideas ended up on An American Prayer. Some were played live. Some were released as bonus tracks on remastered versions. For Example Who Scared You which was supposed to be on The Soft parade. Superb song IMO. Big smile

It's clearly ridiculous to rank the debut above TFTO and CTTE. Wink

at least I'm not ranking albums from the 90s ahead of albums from the 70s. LOL

If you wonder why I like Heaven & Earth much more than the classic Relayer album, I just find Heaven & Earth to be more melodic and easy to listen to than Relayer. Smile

Well, that's "Your Prerogative", and you'll be relieved to see I haven't posted the Britney Spears video again. Smile
