why late at night in the u.s. does ilm get all yessed out

I wonder if OP trevor horn still hangs around these parts. I knew him IRL but haven't seen him in probably a decade.

It's almost 11pm on Friday night, I'm at my office dealing with work spillover stuff, and I am TOTALLY YESSED OUT

I know I posted this on the other thread, but you know what, I'm in the US and I want everybody to know it

I'm an American, I'm yessed out, it's late at night, and I vote

Which Yes transmission are you picking up?

All I want to do is live inside the bass line from "Roundabout" for the rest of my days

take sides: eclipse vs. apocalypse

nice! I didn't know that band but am checking them out now

we hear you, eephus

Is there a better Yes song than "Going for the One?" I don't think so.

Is there as a good a Yes song as "Going for the One?" I haven't heard it.

Yessongs (the live movie) is on Amazon Prime streaming right now and it is fucking great

Now I know what I'm doing this afternoon

What year was that recorded ?

‘72, I used this thing called google

"wonderous stories" is the best song on going for the one

"Awaken" is the best song on GFTO

awaken is the best song ever written

I had a few beers last night and jammed 3 Starcastle albums, it was awesome

Which would you recommend ? Never heard ‘em

Original lineup v underrated, Peter Banks!

as armoured movers took approach to overlook the sea

as song and chance develop time, lost social temperance rules above

Which would you recommend ? Never heard ‘em

I'd say go for the first one, the first side of which is some of the best music Yes never put out

Second album Fountains of Light is probably slightly better overall though

On Citadel they'd gone into more of a Kansas/Styx type direction, I still love it though

Haven't heard anything after that

Anyway I'm playing the new Yes live album now - it's not all bad, Sherwood fills in quite nicely for Squire, Davison sounds alright, the version of "Ritual" is good and it's kind of neat to hear all of Drama on a live album

but man, it's depressing to hear them so out of sync at spots, especially when the quick tunes like "Tempus Fugit", "Heart of the Sunrise", and "Roundabout" are only played at 75% speed. IDK maybe they come off better in person.

nice to have a discrete "leaves of green" on an *official* release

ahaha so apparently they're re-releasing Fly From Here with Trevor Horn on vocals, effectively erasing Benoit David's brief tenure with the band

never fear there's always like the four live albums they released from tours with him

a clearer future -- morning, evening -- nights with you

ooo-ooou!

Listening to live at Wembley show,1978, from a BBC broadcast. Jaw droppingly awesooooome. Prob some of my fave live versions of their stuff here. Even the "Tormato" tunes were on fire.

yousendit?

Last thing at the bottom of thispage will get you Yessed Out.

woooowww my mind is being blown by the "give peace a chance" quote in "i've seen all good people" that i never noticed before !!!

y'all wanna do this er wut

The apple doesn't fall far. My son spent the evening geeking out on our vinyl copies of Fragile and Close to the Edge with his buddy.

I dove back into "Tormato" because I'm fascinated by the ways established prog/prog-leaning bands reacted to punk. "Release, Release" is my favorite of such response songs, after Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack". I also love the raw sound of "On The Silent Wings Of Freedom" - it's like a rehearsal that accidentally made it to final mastering. (Hell, you can almost smell the cigarette burns on the shag carpet in the wood-paneled basement beneath the "Ummagumma" poster with the thumbtack missing from the upper-left corner). And there's the whole "Was Rick Wakeman openly trying to sabotage the album?" solos that echo Viv Savage from "This Is Spinal Tap" (near the end of the track, Rick just goes up and down the first 5 notes of the Lydian mode for like 6 measures). Damn, I love that song!

When my Spotify shuffle setting played "Onward" after James Blake's "Unluck" and "Wilhelm's Scream", it finally hit me that Yes might have accidentally invented Dubstep (or, at least, the chill side of it). The sub-70bpm tempo, the underlying subtle-yet-propulsive keyboard rhythm that appears and disappears, the soaring chorus - all that's missing is a massive bass drop before "...OF MYYYY LIIIIFE!"

(Apologies for going Full Ronald Thomas Clontle if I swapped Yes for Madness and Dubstep for Ska)

good post brah
Are any of the b-sides notable?

I'm not aware of the B-sides (my copy of "Parallels" has "Wonderous Stories" on the blue vinyl), but there are bonus tracks on the remastered edition of the LP. They're all really folky - hell, "You Can Be Saved" might be the best song Band of Horses never recorded.

I picked up used vinyl copies of The Yes Album and Relayer today.

why late at night in the u.s. does ilm get all yessed out

not that there's an answer for this, or anyone would try to take a stab at one, but still

i think about this thread title and these two posts very often

it's like a joke between me and me

why has nobody made a pair of socks with the Yes logo on them? I would happily sport a pair of Yessocks.

i love that uncut did an ultimate music guide, and i get that they were boring to interview, but holy shit do they underrate major jams ~

"survival" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"then" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"astral traveller" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"starship trooper" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"siberian khatru" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"the gates of delirium" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"to be over" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"wonderous stories" -- 3 out of 5 stars?

"tempus fugit" -- 2 out of 5 stars? 2 out of 5 stars??

go choke on velvet underground vinyl uncut MAGA. and to think that rick wakeman tickled the ivories on "life of mars?" and "get it on (bang a gong)" and was pretty much a member of black sabbath, bruford drummed for king fucking crimson, and the god damned buggles. imagine living your life graded on the curve yes is by rock critics

It's an outrage, is what it is

case in point
