I like ABBA but I also like Yes`s early stuff up to Tales. Drama suprised me and it`s also one of my  favourite Yes albums. Read some of the reviews in the Archives. As far as cheesy goes. Cheesy means when you put an excessive amount of  fromage on your pizza, croque monsieur or fromage burger. I think the Dutchman was refering to the 90125, Big Generator and other Yes projects from the eighties and 90`s. Thankfully they play a lot of the old stuff on tour and have come out with sevral exceptional albums featuring the classics.

i think Yes suck outside of the 1971-1974 era, and that era is sooooo good that it makes them worthy of being prog giants, but ive found that after 1974 they kept going more and more downhill, if you look at their career on a whole they have about 6 masterpiece albums (TYA, F, CTTE, TFTO, R, yessongs) and about 20 crap albums!

Oh my GOD that song is so bad... the only low spot on an otherwise great album... 

Now we're talking about YES....  there was a time when I completely got tired of them, and I put my albums away vowing never to listen to them again.  I simply visited the well once too often.  Everything was going well too, and I was living a perfectly content Yes-free existence, until one day the local classic rock radio station played "Your move" and I fell in love with those sublime high vocals...  "Don't surround yourself with yourself... move on back two squares."  :swoon:

Those bastards!

I didn't like Going for the One when I first listened to it - but it sort of sneaked up on me and a year later I loved it !!!! - No other band has had this effect on me yet.......

GFTO has only got Awaken to keep me awake.

Seriously, I find myself incredibly bored with the rest of the tracks on it. but since that great Awaken track, they have only written one track that comes close to that one: Mind Drive on Keys 2

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Couldn't stand Yes for years...I tried most all of the '70s albums, figuring that if I liked King Crimson, ELP, Van Der Graaf Generator, Genesis and Gentle Giant as much as I do, then Yes has to as excellent as everyone says. Well, for years, they did nothing for me. It was Anderson's vocals holding me back. Then I listened to 'Relayer' about a month ago. It BLEW ME AWAY. I don't think there are many prog albums that can touch it. Then I checked out some of their other stuff, and found most all of the '70s stuff to be impressive, even 'Tormato'!

I guess it was a case of being "ready" for them. That happens sometimes. I'm currently listening to 'Fragile' a lot and wondering what the hell I didn't see in them before.

Chris Squire has THE most bad-ass bass tone in prog.

And yeah, "Another Day" is Kenny G-level CHEEEEZ (on an otherwise great album).

...it is real...it is Rael...

I am pretty sure this is blasphemy. Yes is the quintessence of progressive music.

Every Yes album that I buy becomes my favorite until I discover the next one. Right now I am on Relayer.

Correction: Yes is the quintessence of symphonic rock.
