If I remember right, "Brother of Mine" was by Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford, Howe and not by Yes.

Thats only 14, But their album output is far less than Yes !

Come on snowy, you must be able to squeeze a few out of 'Love Beach'

I do like some of Love Beach, but I can't put any of it up in their top 20 can I? I'd rather have more stuff from previous albums. But these are the best IMO!
