It's official - you dudes smoke too much at the MS Mansion. The only thing that I can agree with is that you HAVE to be stoned to listen to this crap. I had a college roomate that went through a Yes phase. Those were long months. The only thing that's more fucking annoying than "close to the edge" is the god-awful "Tales of Topographic Oceans" (4 songs on 2 CD's????) No wonder Bill Bruford bailed on this band for King Crimson. "Red" absolutely destroys everything by Yes, and pretty much the rest of 70's prog. Even Rush - yeah, I said it... Fucking Yes??? It’s official – you dudes smoke too much at the MS Mansion.

But after finding out just how good Rush was over the length of their career i decided to give this yes song a listen and hell yea was it epic. I hope to get plenty more by them in the coming future. prog rock is excellent i haven’t gone back to my progressive rock in quite some time. being deep into rush i forget about what mainstream classic rock stations have taught me about yes. it is that they are a 4 song band i.e i’ve seen all good people, owner of a lonely heart, starship trooper, and roundabout.

That said; personally I've already got baked to The Yes Album a bazillion times. Fragile as well for that matter, but I've never been able to relate to Close To The Edge. I'm not slagging it; it's just that particular album is the epitome of over-indulgent success-excess. As far as Bruford goes: he pulls out all stops on those 3 albums. I agree with 'Wanga' that Drama is totally underrated, that album kicks-ass sonically. Drama is still in my top 5 best recorded bass sounds ever.

When the main riff kicks in, the bass work is great,. Most of Yes's pre-1985 stuff is worth listening to. Drama is an underrated album, probably their heaviest. Tim, Early Genesis is well worth listing to, I agree. A long time fave of mine. When the main riff kicks in, the bass work is great,. Most of Yes’s pre-1985 stuff is worth listening to.

Great movie, GREAT music. Need to mention some old-school Genesis, though. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is the ultimate 70's prog album.
