They covered Richie Havens on their second album.
Yeah, I knew that, I guess by "inexplicable" I just meant that they haven't put non-Yes stuff on very many of these recent live tours where they've been performing full albums.

I was listening to Guided by Voices and it occurred to me they might be the only band that was just influenced by Yes's (particularly Anderson's) melodic sensibilities while taking absolutely nothing from their musicianship etc

So I don't keep up with current Yes at all but Youtube recommended this new video to me and, while it's not the classic band, if it were a new Mew song, it would be completely acceptable.

― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r), Saturday, 24 July 2021 00:44 (two years ago) link
That's the first post-2000 Yes song I've heard. It wasn't embarrassing, but somehow it feels like they're hampered trying to "be progressive". I was wishing for the arrangement to be a little more straight rock (but, admittedly, what does that even mean in 2021).

lol why do they fake out "Touch and Go" at the beginning

Mew? lol
― calstars, Saturday, 24 July 2021 02:45 (two years ago) link
It's not really as infectious melodically as Mew or classic Yes; just had a contemporary progressive pop quality for me and a strong sense of groove + the vocals and meandering melodic lines made me think a bit of Mew.

I'll probably only hear the post-Magnification albums after I've heard like 30 solo albums.

I've been listening to Steve Howe's Beginnings. He sings too much, sometimes straining both his physical and emotional range, but unlike a lot of people I wouldn't say the vocals ruin the record.
― Halfway there but for you, Monday, 26 July 2021 17:52 (two years ago) link
Seems to me that great prog bands have a lot of great solo artists too. I know Steve Hackett's debut album is a classic but it's so brilliant that I'm surprised it doesn't come up in conversation here more.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 26 July 2021 18:10 (two years ago) link
Hackett's solo career is indeed quite good. all his first 4 are good, it gets a bit corny after that. but his recent albums are apparently on par with his early ones.
I too like Beginnings but am surprised Howe tries to even sing at all. I'm curious what his other solo albums sound like. I too am in that "Yes solo album" phase; so far Olias of Sunhollow, The Six Wives of Henry VII, and The Story of i are my favorites

not Gentle Giant! I don't know if they have a single solo album!
― frogbs, Monday, 26 July 2021 18:31 (two years ago) link
The Bruford albums, although far from being solo records, are terrific. One Of A Kind especially.
― doug watson, Monday, 26 July 2021 22:26 (two years ago) link
fair amount of controversy kicked up by this as it turns out something about this is identical to something written by Francis Monkman in 78. Downes insisted it was his own and then clarified that it seems he made a mistake, and the writing credits are being revised.
― akm, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 19:20 (two years ago) link
yeah actually seems like an innocent mistake, still lol @ these guys having to mine four-decade old demo tapes for inspiration
― frogbs, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 19:36 (two years ago) link
lol at them not remembering who wrote it too
that said, that's how Fly From Here happened and that is still a great album
― akm, Tuesday, 27 July 2021 20:26 (two years ago) link
Feel like there could be a thread about late career albums which just wound up being discarded ideas from the band’s prime. I’m pretty sure that’s what the last Van Halen album was.

lizard by king crimson is basically a yes album right?
― clouds, Friday, 30 July 2021 00:03 (two years ago) link
Jon Anderson sings one song on Lizard, but I can't imagine Yes would have wanted so much sax, oboe and trombone everywhere. And Fripp and Howe are completely different types of guitarist.
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 30 July 2021 01:55 (two years ago) link
yeah I can't see Yes doing anything as brooding as "Cirkus" nor as chaotic as "Happy Family" (though parts of Relayer come close). also they never used horns & didn't really go into jazz territory outside of that first album. that said the Fripp/Anderson bit on Side B is so good it makes me wish they did a full LP together
the only thing I can think of that sounds like Lizard is Pete Sinfield's solo album...it's not too good but has some pretty fantastic sections. it's funny when Greg Lake shows up and just soars over Sinfield's voice, god if only he could've sung the whole thing

didn't really go into jazz territory outside of that first album
Really? I feel like there's a lot of jazz fusion influence throughout their prog records, esp e.g. the first solo on "Close to the Edge", which practically gets into Mahavishnu Orchestra territory, or on Relayer. Don't disagree with you about Lizards, though.
― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r), Friday, 30 July 2021 12:02 (two years ago) link
I mean it's more a "Yes album" than Big Generator so yeah

yeah true but I guess I'm talking more tippy-tappy horn-heavy jazz. Mahavishnu sounds like a lot of prog to me
― frogbs, Friday, 30 July 2021 13:13 (two years ago) link
Yeah, "All Good People" swings but they didn't quite get into the territory of "Indoor Games".
