I think they have been 'overated' at times, but hate? No way.

Have you ever heard Close to the Edge?? It's sublime!!

Where's gdub?? He hates Yes..

No, I don't hate Yes. Sometimes they are a bit too cheesy, but they've also done some fantastic things (Fragile).

Cheesy, sublime??

Whens your birthday? We'll have a whip round (collection) and get you a dictionary

Sorry, I'm being mean. I take cheesy to mean, well listen to 'The circus of Heaven' from the Tormato album by Yes and you'll know what I mean. Sublime in this context means f***ing brilliant, but you clearly disagree.

I actually never found Cheesy in a dictionary. If you could also enlighten me on the meaning of this adjective other than related to camembert.

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

Difficult to articulate, but a cheesy song in my book is a song that puts across an emotion in an overly sweet way; sickly and over the top to the point where it just sounds embarssing. Real arm waving, cigarette lighter holding moments that make you cringe.

Thats my take on the 'cheesy' concept, others may have different ideas, but I'm sure they're all in the same ball park, or cheese factory.

Would you qualify the crowd and also those who mourned Lady Di as cheesy?

Yes annoys me at times. One of my lesser enjoyed bands definitely.

That sounds like a pretty serious question, Sean. It seems you've taken exception to me. Oh well.

In answer to your question. No I dont consider them cheesy at all. I once read a sociological study of why it was that so many mourned someone they didn't know, and it made for very depressing reading, and I dont want to go into it now.

We've all indulged in 'cheesy' moments in concerts or wherever. Dont take the idea too seriously.

I can see where Yes could be disliked or not favored becasue of certain
songs, lineups, and members...but hate? That is a very strong word. This
thread just started off bad, how can you have discussions with topics like
this?

If I asked that question , it is because the first real time I got tothink about what cheesy meant was when I heard someone suggest that all of those people were so cheesy (thickly agreeable and consensual and overly willing to participate in mass communion) while watching the news back in 97 at those funerals.

Besides that, I am a huge cheese fan , especially raw milk ones.

As for Yes , they are somewhat over-rated in my book. But from Yes Album to CTTE , Relayer and Keys studios, great stuff. However, they were also very pompous - TFTO, Union, Magnification. I guess in some way they might be cheesy but they are also elitist.
