Just in case there are a few Yesmen out there, I'll start a thread for discussing the band Yes in particular, or progressive rock bands/music in general. Might as well keep it as general as possible, so that more people feel like participating.
So what are your favorite songs/albums? Again, that goes for other bands as well (Rush, Floyd, etc...). Come to think of it, y'all can say whatever's on your mind about anything you feel is related to this genre. Love it or hate it, whatever.
Personally, I don't know much about Yes or prog. rock. I've gotten into Yes in a big way, but only in the last 2-3 months, but by now I have nearly all their albums (have some parts here and there yet to listen to). Luckily, I don't have to know much, but I can get by on the illusion of knowledge/experience/intelligence...sometimes it's more interesting that way.
I suppose I do like the earlier Yes music a lot, perhaps even most. But I love all the different sounds they've gone through over the last 3 decades. Ok, enough of the BS, here's a short list to start off (much is left off here on purpose):
Time and a Word (Everydays, Time and a Word)
Close to the Edge (all 3 songs kick ass)
The Yes Album (I've seen all good people, Starship Trooper)
Fragile (South Side of the Sky, Roundabout, Heart of the Sunrise)
