Saw the 90125 and Big Generator tours (among others). Not the classic lineup but good stuff.

Am I the only one who really digs 90125??



I like 90125....a lot, and Owner of a Lonely Heart is one of the best songs of the 80s. I just put the other three albums on a level that the others don't reach IMO.

man the OG lineup with Burford, Squire, Howe, Wakeman, and Anderson is one of the most talented lineups of musicians you can assemble,


Without a doubt! The Genesis lineup of Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, Hackett & Collins is another, then add that Bruford also toured with them, then later Chester Thompson ( two drummers live). I saw both Yes & Genesis (and Pink Floyd) lineups in the 70's and it would be hard to choose which was better. Great memories.

I hate prog rock in all of its artsy pretention, but... man, I love Yes. Steve Howe is a great damn guitarist, and that rhythm section is tight as hell. It's not just long digressions about the English countryside, they can actually rock out.

1. Fragile. And I'm not even giving it a bump for having Roundabout.

2. The Yes Album. Steve Howe shows up and immediately makes the band a million times better.

3. 90125. A pretty good 80s pop record.

4. Close to the Edge. OK, guys. this is a bit much.

5. Going for the One. An underrated album. Probably the last album I'd recognize as Yes.

6. Relayer. Oh, frick you guys.

7. Tales From Topographic Oceans. No, I mean it now. Stop.

8. Drama. You know what? The overly indulgent stuff was better than this.
