you've got to include Drama in that.
Dont you think Wakeman looks like the blonde out of ABBA?

From The Yes Album up to and including Tormarto YES were awesome but then they totally lost it in the 80's! Especially - dunno if anyone else has noticed this - when Squire started dressing and looking like the dark haired one from ABBA!

I don't see any members with 4 stars, by the way. Would be nice for wannabe-collaborators, maybe , or for people after 1000 or 2500 posts.
Yes: They only things I really like about them in the '80's and '90's are: 90125, the ABWH -album, the livetracks on Key To Ascension, and the Magnification-tour. For the rest: they've peaked. Will there ever be a new studio - album by the way? I wonder. Not that I expect much of it.
Rabin is good, but he shouldn't have had such a big hand in producing Big Generator. I agree with Eddie Offord: Rabin tends to sterilize the production. Great guitarplayer though, and I do like some Big Generator and Talk - stuff, and some of his solo-stuff, though not everything.

The Ladder (1999) and Keystudio (1996-97-01?) are good releases, imo.

I love Yes, except Big Generator, Union and Talk. These are poor albums, even for this GREAT band... Open Your Eyes isn't good enough... And the best of all are between 71 and 77 I guess...

You are not seriously comparing the later releases of the two bands are you?
The consensus is with me on that one......

I prefer Bluetailfly's explanation....
Every studio album Yes has released since GFTO has been deeply flawed,IMO

I hope he is referring to their Rabin era and the mediocrity up to Magnification which could have been an album of note if Steve had gotten into it more.Personally I have always loved them.

No, I think he means, "Why does everyone who initially likes Yes, later, when the liking is to an advanced degree, begin to wonder if the liking is as pronounced as it was when the liking was at its peak, and if not, perceive that a reduction in the liking has transpired, even to the degree that the liking could be considered not liking or even hating."

I think he means: "Why does everybody love yes at first, but after a while begin to dislike them or even hate them?". Yes, I think he means it like that. That's a strange statement, if he means it like that. Nothing I recognise
