Cert...Yes whats your problem?

So Reed;

I don't have a problem at all.

Most Yes fans seem to agree that their music is full of flaws.

What's the point of an argument with people that agree with you?

So far, I am not persuaded to change my opinions of Yes, as even people that like them agree that the music is far from perfect. And I won't even start on the vocals or lyrics

They are definitely overrated, since people rave about them, then, when you ask, admit that the music is flawed. Hence over rated.

I will stick to plan A, and make my opinions known in reviews .

Sorry Fragile... thats when I actually woke up!  You can say what you want about ELP... but putting someone to sleep is definitely not their deal!

And using ELP as a sexual aid no doubt!

How dare these Radiohead fans attack real prog!

But Yes isn't overrated. It's impossible to overrate CTTE, The Yes Album, Relayer and Time And A Word. (IMO of Course).

Their where maybe some flaws in TFTO and Fragile and in their debut album, but not big ones.

After Relayer, it went downhill, but till then Yes where magnificent.

The only overrated part of Yes was, and is Wakeman, tediously uninspired on TFTO, no noteworthy contribution on Fragile and generally boring in his solo-carreer.

I like Yes, and I think their music is riddled with flaws, but I dont care. For Gods sake I like Hawkwind!! If I'm able to put up with flat vocals, bad sax playing and out of time drumming, I can put up with Yes's random confused sounding cacophonous racket. I'm less able to take in their moments of sheer nonesense like 'The Circus of Heaven'

I like to think they were being 'ironic' when they wrote that, or at least tripping their nuts off on acid. But I have a hunch niether may have been the case.
