These are both "classic period" Yes records (both done with the classic line-up), and both are highly controversial. Which do you think is the worse of the two? ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

| No contest here. I have grown to love Tales, but always detested Tormato. Such a disappointment after the magnificent Going For The One. |

I've heard a few tracks off both records, and I don't understand why TORMATO elicits such antipathy. It's a decent record, for what it is. ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

in my case an easy call.... the sound of Wakeman's keyboards. Believe he switched to some new generation rig. A Yamaha or some crap like that. YUCK. other than that I've always liked the album, some really good songs that got mangled in production that really sounded KILLER live. Tales IMO is one of the greatest, most ambitious and most interesting of ALL prog albums. Not to mention best of all. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Probably one of the most talked-about discs on the site, Tales. Some people love it (corbet), while some wax almost poetic in their disdain for it (Hugues, Bryan Adair...) ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

I love Tales. As hard as it may be to get into, it grows on you. I love it. As Micky said, it's one of the ambitious and interesting albums of all time. Tormato however never really caught on with me. Funny thing is that before I really got into prog, my dad told me about some old bands, including Yes, and told me how great they were and so on. He, by then, didn't listen to it anymore, but had some old tapes and records boxed up. He found Tormato one day, and gave it to me. He didn't remember much of it, so I didn't know if it was a good example of Yes or not. I knew nothing about them. I didn't like it very much, so I didn't further pursue them, but shortly after, I heard "Roundabout" on the radio in my friends car, and since then have been in love with them. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Exactly! the polarizing atitudes towards it just solidify it, in my mind, as one of prog's greatest albums. I liken it to art on the 'sonic' level..... some love it... some dispise it... few have no opinion after hearing it, either way it illicits an opinion... ie. it makes you think and react. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Tormato, at least on Tales they did not chant "Na na na na na" as they did in "On The Silent Wings Of Freedom". ------------- yet you still have time! |

Neither is bad. Tales from Topographic Oceans is great. |
