I listen alot on Progressive Rock, but there is some bands that i can skip. I didn't like Yes at all cause they are too cheesy and too bad songs even on they're older material.
No feelings in their songs. Do you dislike Yes aswell?

Complete BS of course. They have written some objectionable material, but no prog fan should be without Close To The Edge or Relayer. 'Nuff said.

Honestly, there's a good bit of progressive rock I don't care for either: Gentle Giant, VdGG, Zappa, anything to do with Steve Hillage, Soft Machine, among others, but it didn't stop me from finding something that I enjoy within each of these bands' discography. Of course, Yes are a favorite of mine, but I don't care for everything they've done. When Genesis lost Hackett, they lost me, and so on. We can always harp on the negative, but it's better to find the positive and listen to what we enjoy.
All of this said, there's a lot of feeling in Yes' music. Just because you don't feel the music and the emotion it's trying to convey doesn't mean it's not there. You don't like their music, fine by me, but I'll always make time for them just like I'll always make time for Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, or Steve Hackett. There's not enough time on this earth to listen to music you don't feel anything from, so, again, listen to what you enjoy and don't get hung up on negative feelings.

Rather ironic that this thread actually belongs in the prog appreciation part of the forum...
Seeing as you're still quite new here Rihanna, then I am willing to give it the benefit of a doubt, but please enlighten me: What do you hope to achieve in such a thread, other than willfully dismissing a band that a lot of people round these part hold dear?
Strike that, I may have answered my question. Similar to joining Punk Archives and opening a thread called 'I don't like The Clash'...
What I'm getting at is, that if this turns into people getting their panties in a twist, then I am locking it. Sure there's room for negative critique on this board too, but in the end it's all down to how you word it. Saying 'I don't like Yes' doesn't really say anything about why. For all we know, you could have listened to half of Union and based you opinion strictly on that.

While I agree that "I don't like this or that"-threads aren't the most constructive or impressive I've possibly had a similar experience regarding Yes. I had come to love all the big UK-progbands (except ELP of course), plenty of Canterbury, fusion and italianprog, all Zeuhl & first generation RIO-bands + most Kraut/Kosmishe... really most things prog before I warmed up to any albums by the band in question.
I guess I had to mature to appreciate their lighter more "uplifting" approach or moods and atmosphere. And there was something about Jon Andersons voice that my ears grew tired listening to after a couple of minutes. To me it was much easier to connect with all the darker, melancholic, heavier, more difficult or weirder bands. That's probably related to how I, like many others were raised musically by the older kids in our schoolyard. Tough guys choosing "evil" or anti-establishment music that says hail satan, f**k society, kill everyone, destroy everyting and stuff like that.
I certainly wasn't interested in any angelic voice singing about some spiritual mumbo jumbo, but a:
Wicked little Scorpio, doomed to die a thousand times before he lives!
...was just perfect, and it still is.
Coming back to Close to the Edge's titletrack after having learned to enjoy just about every other sound on the planet including (early) Penderecki, the jazz flute, Zarah Leander, Lollywood-OST's and The Monkees finally gave me the feel of a spiritual journey of an almost cathartic/cleansing dimension that's potentially within their music for everyone to discover. Actually its kinda similar to Magma (which I'm ashamed to admit also took me a couple of years to thoroughly enjoy).
Edit: I did not write this Just for Fun.

No feelings in their songs. Do you dislike Yes aswell? | You probably feel they are cheesy because of the singer songwriter aspect to their music. Mostly brought about by Jon Anderson and Chris Squire. Jon Anderson was an expert on stage craft and songwriting in the Folk/Rock vain. He was very influenced by the darker Folk style of Simon and Garfunkel and the also dark approach of the late 60's Beach Boys. Which...doesn't seem too dark or interesting now, unless you can transform your mindset to that time period and realize what would have been considered to be dark then, dismissing all the studied love songs on the radio and instead hearing Simon and Garfunkel sing about death or The Beach Boys singing about Good Vibrations. That's part of what Jon Anderson grew up listening to and he did incorporate the essence of that song writing into the music of Yes. Their instrumentation is complex and takes strong effort to play those complex pieces on stage every week and not make a mistake. Yes were fine musicians and I certainly can appreciate that. Can you?

OP seems to have rattled a few cages there Actually I can relate a little to the OP ( I am going to assume 'she' is not a troll). For many years I found Yes to be cold and not very engaging musically. I could just about enjoy The Yes Album and some of GFTO but I just didn't understand the fuss. Eventually I did 'get it' and I think that was mainly from going to see them play live for the first time in 1996. Now I regard them as they best prog band although not my favourite. Yes were a pure symphonic prog band between 1972 and 1977 when others tended to be flirtatious at the most . I supose ELP are the other band that stuck largely to their guns in this period but they are not so popular around here. Actually I would wager that if this thread replaced Yes with ELP instead then there would be no complaint from hardly anyone and the thread would have remained in the prog lounge.

looking back, it must have been the superb

Yes in Close To The Edge: a tight album, if you're in energetic mood and fond of windy hikes it may be a great companion. The first part lead by guitar solo, my fav. from Steve howe ever, feels like acrobats jumping, swinging, and turning around, or downhill athletes; Roger Dean's Fragile and CTTE covers fit the music quite well with slightly darkened vivid colours. The "cheesy" moments are when you relax and dream at the end of your intense, wild journey...
90125 is like friends yelling at you for a next go in an amusement park device, in the midst of the crowd where there's a display of competition, chills, a sense of dangerosity. A very special, very balanced album with great variety of tones.

What else I don't like ?? btw I've just been giving a looooong and huuuuge watching to a new youtube video in a new Triumvirat thread - just unbelievable how "hating" songs like that never stop whistling in our heads, isn't it? And a while before I refreshed up my old time memories listening to Chopin's grand Polonaises - how on earth can these "decrepit old craps" look like being from another plainly WONDERFUL world ??? AAhh yeah ! Yesterday I just coudn't sleep without finding out the differences between three versions of Chopin's Nocturne no.2 played by three different pianists - can you explain me how such a damn basic plain simple score gives way to somewhat INFINITE new variations ???? Just think about all of that cheesy crap...

I listen alot on Progressive Rock, but there is some bands that i can skip. I didn't like Yes at all cause they are too cheesy and too bad songs even on they're older material.
No feelings in their songs. Do you dislike Yes aswell? |
Complete BS of course. They have written some objectionable material, but no prog fan should be without Close To The Edge or Relayer. 'Nuff said. |
Agreed. Even if you object to other Yes contributions, 'And You and I' (from Close to the Edge) and 'Sound Chaser' (from Relayer) are tracks not to be missed...

Green tea strikes me as being something "that's not ready yet", like a green banana or an unripe strawberry, but hey-ho, each to their own. Prog tea is more fitting to be either strong, dark and mature like an asham or oolong or light, fresh and virginal like a silver needle white tea. Of course blended teas would be Eclectic Prog, herbal teas would be Psych/Space, green teas would be Prog Folk and Earl Grey would be Canterbury.

The Krautrock tea is the only one that concerns me.

You people speak zealously about drinking tea, as if trying so hard to convey the secret message, that you reject mormonism. It's become suspicious. Please...

Indeed, tea is the silent killer in our midst. You are clearly mental.

I take green tea as a break from my usual stand your spoon in it builders tea (without sugar) and only a TINCTURE of milk.... A reckon that "Tincture of Milk" is just the sort of lyrical whimsy that makes Yes so palatable to the prog taste....so reminiscent of Anderson's lyrical contribution....

Your emotional reaction adds a major brick to the wall of my suspicion. Find a convincing explanation from there on now...
However: I'd never try and force you confess anything.

(The border between serious / non serious doesn't seem to show clearly. As for me, it'd be too much fun if somebody thought I was serious, but I was not. I don't care much about mormonism if that's what anybody needs to know.
I, intimidated, don't dare trying the once exciting adventure of new jokes right now. But I'd support anyone actually creating Rihanna vs Yes poll.)
