Paul is around the same age as I am .. well.. a few years older than I am anyway. I personally think that Paul is one of my favorite new members and also a fan of alot of the same genres and artist I like. And by the way, I know you weren't being sarcastic in any way Soldier, you were just being entertaining with your above reply while giving Paul a compliment at the same time. And you already know that I love you too Julian.:love: One of my closest friends I have here at MB. But don't go off thinking it's that kind of love Soldier, I Love my women .. Yeah .. ;)

Just for clarification I didn't take US's post as a slag, I knew it was just a good-natured barb. :)


And thank you for the kind words

I was just trying to get Soldier going, is the only reason behind my reply. I haven't had a verbal confrontation with him in awhile. :laughing:

Fragile and Close to the Edge are two of my favourite albums, but the playing on Drama is fantastically tight.

YOU KNOW FOR A FACT that Free were better than Bad Company and that Pearl Jam can wipe the floor with Alice in Pains any day of the week.

I always liked Drama a lot, I know Yes purists hated it because of the Buggles connection and it must've been a shock for lifelong fans at the time to have Buggles in the band. I loved the Biggles one of my pop weaknesses from the time.

Then I came to love the songs and the whole album. I now love all that early70's yes stuff but close to the edge remains the one I love the most. I guess my point is had my first one been fragile maybe that one would be my favourite.
I do not understand why Tales From Topographic Oceans gets so much bad rep from many of the reviewers on WRC. But I do not often listen to Tales. The songs are so long.

My favorite song by Yes is their cover of Every Little Thing. I am more of a pop fan than a fan of prog rock. My favorite Yes album is Yessongs. It is sort of a "best of Yes" album.

I have to go with the yes album. I love Steve Howe's playing so much and Starship and the clap show everything that makes him great. Starship is still one of the greatest things ever written. But having said that, ill probably be throwing on Close to the edge tonight.

Edit: I voted for fragile.

I suppose that the reason I voted for the Yessongs album is that it was the first one which my sister and I purchased and listened to (way back in 1974).
