Musicians are a weird lot for the most part and to be honest I am amazed they stuck it out as long as they did. No, YES in my mind is the best over-all rock band to ever exist to this day. Maybe they should have went by the name they were going to use for their assault on the pop industry. "Cinema".

Remember this. Can a mainstream "pop" artist produce the like of say a "Close to the Edge"??? No. Can YES make a pop song that is technically better in structure and form to the mainstream "pop" artists work and sell millions of copies doing it? In a word..........YES!
 
I could not agree more.

anyone remembers Rabin's solos??? it just kicks ass!!!!
If anyone here is able to do just the 1/10 of what he is doing technically then maybe you ahve a little word to say but I would really be surprised...
 
I love his guitar solos on 9012live, especially his take on older stuff.

I have no issues whatsoever with Rabin's stint with Yes. In fact, I feel like he breathed some sorely needed life into a phenomenal band that was starting to lose their way.

What I _do_ have an issue with, are some of Rabin's film scores. Has anyone seen "Con Air"? Not only is it one of the worst films ever made, IMO, but the score is absurdly bombastic and silly.

There's certainly no accounting for taste. Smile

I've never heard the "Rabin Years" of Yes, and I'm not really sure I want to. I mean... "Owner of a lonely heart" is a horrible song!


You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

Me too.
 
Whilst I agree that the Rabin albums are not the best Yes albums (but then what does compare to the golden era of Yes?), he did keep the band going and 90125 was their biggest selling album. Talk is a good album and don't forget Union is only partly the Rabin Yes.

I forgot to say - what evidence do you have that Talk and Union destroyed Yes financially?

I adore all albums with him (BG, 90125, Talk) as five star masterpieces.

And there isn't bigger lover of Relayer, Fragile, CTTE, Yes Album and TFTO than me.

Strange?:)

P.S. Talk maybe was a commercial disaster, but OYE, or Ladder were even worse..
