I fucking love "Yours Is No Disgrace" so damn much. What a beautiful, beautiful song. Howe's playing on the whole Yes Album just blows me away.
I grew listening to WIOT out of Toledo, Ohio, and when 90120 came out they used to play "Our Song" all the time because it had that line "Toledo is just another stop along the good king's highway". Like, they actually thought it was about Toledo, Ohio!!

Your mention of the "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" video reminded me there was one version that had a guy with maggots crawling around on top of his closed eyelids. Did "Fear Factor" rip off this idea? I think MTV stopped showing that version.

at a booth that sells vocoder software there is a man earnestly saying in a silvery, elven speaking voice reminiscent of Glinda the Good Witch "no, no, NO, you don't understand. I want to make my computer-" and here he erupts into a shivery high melodious flutter "s-i-i-iing!" and it's HIM and he's singing the word "sing" in THAT Yes voice.

i have a hard time with big generator. they fell so hard after 90125, but it was a classic run -- 1969 - 1983 -- 14 years like the ideal number of songs on a perfect pop album
my short list of post-rabin studio jams: "without hope you cannot start the day"; "holding on"; "take the water to the mountain"; "real love"; "homeworld"; "lightning strikes / can i? / face to face"; "to be alive"; "new language"; "nine voices"; "madman at the screens"; "life on a film set"; and "into the storm"

Talk is a pretty neat album. Always felt it was a bit underrated. It's definitely not as entertaining as 90125 or Big Generator though
a lot of Yes fans like the Keystudio stuff. I dug "That, That Is" a lot but it really doesn't need to be a 20 minute epic
lots of cool stuff on The Ladder (especially the title track which really is "classic Yes" in all its glory), but as an album it's very uneven
I remember liking Magnification a good amount but I don't really recall a single thing from it

I think frogbs linked to this ages ago on another Yes thread.
Icelandic band Todmobile's cover of Awaken w/ Anderson guesting, a great arrangement, augmented by a choir, some brass and strings, they really know how to effectively pile on the layers for the very end section, best version I've heard so far (other than nitpicky issues with the bass player).

So, there wasn't really this spirit of this magical, wonderful, open-hearted feeling of the word Yes that I expected, which sort of devastated me at first. It took me a couple of weeks to really understand that. I had just worked with Duran Duran and we'd had several number one songs.

JE: There was no material. Basically, what there was was Steve (Howe) was working on a solo album (later released as Turbulence) and he brought in some things. Jon (Anderson) brought in one or two faint ideas. The problem is they hated each other so much at that point. I couldn't get Jon and Steve to sit down in a room together without me and the only way that Steve would do anything is to wake up and get very stoned and he was no good for the whole day after that. So we would sit down and try to write a few chords and here are my sort of kid pop idols and they couldn't string three chords together without fighting about what they were. And that was just putting Jon and Steve together, and constantly Steve would be badgering me about how he hated Jon's lyrics and how Jon had no good ideas. And Jon would say to me, 'Oh, Steve's just so washed out and Asia was such a horrible thing—look what it did to him.' You had Rick Wakeman who… all he wanted to do was get out there in the mix. And Rick had three or four parts that he would play, the same thing on everything. I would bring a Hammond organ in—he wouldn't touch the Hammond. He said, 'That's old-fashioned.' Not realising… well, he's so out of touch—what good would it have done had he played? I couldn't get these guys to sit down and write material without other people being in the room because of the social reasons. They had just been on the road for so many years and they probably had so many episodes with each other. Half of them couldn't really play any more. I mean, it was really sad. They were just sloppy and tired and old.
I guess that confirms everything I suspected about Union
