Subject: A poll for Yesfans only.
Date Posted: November 11 2007 at 14:07
I was looking through last.fm today and I ran across a list of other bands that people who listen to Yes also listen to. So I wondered which of these bands true Yes fans would be LEAST likely to listen to.
Jethro Tull gets my vote, although it was very hard to pass up the Who.

Led Zeppelin. I like a couple of their songs, their sort of folky stuff, like Battle of Evermore and Going to California, but otherwise not a big fan of the mighty Zep.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I love all of those bands, and I have CDs by all of them - though admittedly Genesis are my least favourite out of the above list.

Gensis.... and I don't like them.. for the reason I like Yes. and ELP and King Crimson...
unrestrained displays of instrumental virtutosity....
Genesis simply bores me... no matter how good.. in some subtle way they might be.
that is the group the Yes fan should be bored to tears with ahhahahhaha

Rush. They never appealed to me.
As for Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull (and even ELP's best albums): as a Yes fan, I've always found it natural to like them!
Led Zep, on the other hand, are a band I really only started to appreciate in the 1990s. Nowadays I'd be inclined to say they recorded even more great stuff than Yes. Still, even Led Zep can't hold a candle to the Who at their best...

Interesting poll , I feel some what perplexed for voting for any of these gifted bands but if I must its between The Who and The Beatles and since The Who had Keith Moon on Drums I'll say The Beatles, that said Beatles are still great but I,m a drummer so I'm influenced by drums a lot , I notice that most of the bands mentioned have wicked drummers, seems Yes fans do also .

expained earlier.. ...the reasons I love ELP and Yes Genesis is too cerebral.. too
subtle for my tastes.. I like prog musicians who show what they can do.. not
hiding behind their instruments.
Porcupine Tree... haven't decided if they were a good rip off of
Floyd.. or a good quasi prog band. I like them... really like
them in general terms but don't see a great deal of prog there..
especially FOABP.
Floyd... love it

As a casual non-voting observer opf this thread, (yeah, I like Yes and own a lot of their albums, but don't think of myself as a fan per say), I'm suprised the Beatless are doing so badly as they are one of the few bands Yes covered, but I don't suppose too many Yesfans would like Simon and Garfunkel either.

I cannot imagine anybody loving Yes and not at least liking Genesis or Pink Floyd (it happens....see the poll) That I cannot understand, but to -less- like the Beatles and the Who is quite easy for me to understand... PT is a completely different ballgame, they are not related to the '70 music scene, and you just like them or not, since they are very different.

You're right, Yes is a band of great musicians, more than Genesis or PF.But the difference is not about that (could be...but isn't...). But to me all that counts is the compositions, because that's what I hear, and the compositions of the Floyd and Genesis are at least sometimes GREAT (eg. Firth of Fifth). I also cannot understand why some people choose Rush, because they have instrumental brilliancy and great compositions (eg. La Villa Strangiato)

has anyone hearrd by the way the Syn's version of the The Gangster
Opera.... think it was from 67.. .sounds like Squire and the boys were
listening to Blind Willie McTell. If sounds like they lifted the main riff right from his most famous song.

Well, no wonder I hate Yes fans. They hate the Who, and they're not too fond of the Tull. Or...the Beatles?!? This amuses me; it's obvious that the Yessers liked the Beatles a bit.
(And they don't like Rush? But Rush is like Yes Part Two: Yes with Balls (but a lesser grasp of melody).)

Jethro Tull bores me to death...seriously, I really can't stand one minute with that "folky-flute" gnome...
Want some real flute:
Try DALTON, early GENESIS (Twilight Alehouse), CELESTE, DE DE LIND...
Wow

You know, IMO it's more exciting to stick to the energetic and absolutely "UNreal" flute playing of Ian Anderson!

I've never really liked Led Zep, but I also don't really like Rush (because of the singing) and Genesis (again the singing).

oh God! Led Snorefest. i have never understood the appeal of this band.
and they are back together, hyped up beyond all recognition .
the more things change, the more they stay the same.
I'd rather go and see ABBA if they reformed than Led Zepplin. In fact it's a close tie to who are worst L ZZZZzzzzz or U2! arghghghgh
I hate 'em both.

I have albums by all of them, and enjoy most of them a lot. I picked Porcupine Tree, although ELP would be a close second; while there are individual tracks by both bands that I like, it's unusual for me to listen to an entire album by either all the way through.

I had a hard time choosing between Zep and ELP. I picked ELP because I would probably like Zep if Bobo Plant wouldn't wear such tight trousers. I can't think of a nice way to say ELP makes my spleen hurt so I'll just leave it at I picked them.

whereas yes are a very intricate band, the who (especially keith moon) just thrash out some simple chords with hardly any thought whatsoever. well, compared to yes anyway. that's what i think anyways.

While Yes is certainly more intricate than the Who, there are a lot of subtle things going on with the Who that pretty much epitomize the term "deceptively simple" and Pete Townsend certainly puts thought into the music. I see what you mean about Keith Moon, but there is a certain charm to drunken flailing, as long as you aren't the one who has to clean up the mess afterward.

I was a really big fan of their debut release, which was straight-forward trio power rock. Then they went into all kinds of experimental realms, which I can't really fault them for. Some of it was a success in my ears, and the rest is just......eh. Not my cup of tea. Everyone else in that list is just dandy with me.

The Beatles is very nice to hear. From the year 1966 (Revolver album) to their end (Let it Be), their music was really colourful and innovative. Their 1967's Sgt. Pepper and 1968's White Album then Abbey Road in 1969 was their peak of creativity.
The Who's Quadrophenia was non-standard, while Tommy was a concept album.
Porcupine Tree? I don't have much idea with this band. I only have Stupid Dream, and it doesn't attract me well.
