Ultimate YES: 11th Album

I only have heard Yes' 90125, and that was decades ago. It did not leave a very positive impression on me at the time.

Bruford Levin Upper Extremities. I like talking to sliding boards.

Steve Howe, followed by Yes.

None of this albums is on the top of my list. I finally decided to vote for Patrick Moraz.

It did not leave a very positive impression on me at the time. 90125 was the first YES album I ever bought and it still remains one of my favourites. The classic 1970's YES era completely passed me by during my teenage years.

I have shared this before. The album that most got me from Yes as a teenager (this was in the lase 80s while in high school) was Fragile. A friend introduced it to me and I immediately adored it. A couple of years later I was staying over with someone and 90125 was in the collection and I put that on. That was a very memorable night, but not for the music, or at least not for that music. I did know "Owner of Lonely Heart" well already for the radio edit and music video.
generally speaking with Yes, I loved Fragile so much back then that anytime I heard other Yes I just wanted to change it to Fragile. I can be obsessive.

^ I believe in the biz they call that an alternative take. With shreds, bad is good, but some shreds are brilliantly bad in their ways. I have heard/seen much better shreds.

Quantum Guitar is one of Steve Howe's very best solo albums, but NOTHING compares to 90125!

Brufird/Levin !

There might be more of us "80s Yes fans" and prog fans than I previously thought. ;) I knew about Yes before 90125 because my dad had TYA but it was really the release of 90125 that made me a fan.

We're the main demographic vein on the PA, bruh.
