[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;24593934]Next on my to buy list is Tales of Topographic Oceans, after that I'll try The Yes Album[/QUOTE]
Topographic Oceans is a pretty heavy piece. Jon Anderson was into experimental stuff back then, so his singing sounds a bit weird. My opinion is that the performance of The Revealing Science Of God (first track on Tales From Topographic Oceans) on Keys To Ascension is much livelier, and is much better than the original studio recording.

Don't let this discourage you from buying Topographic Oceans, though; it's a fantastic album, but difficult music for sure.
Roundabout makes me jizz every time
Yes are immense, Rick Wakeman has a slot DJing on Planet Rock now, along with Alice Cooper, who does breakfast. Best way to wake up ever.
Roundabout's bassline is incredible

I cannot stress how good it is on vinyl :v:
Gates of Delirium = WIN.
I need more Yes albums. I really enjoy Fragile, and I've always had a soft spot for Owner of a Lonely Heart thanks to Vice City :v:
Just listened to their first album and I liked it. Recognized one song on there.
The Yes Album
Fragile
Relayer
Close to the Edge

[quote=Ultimate Guitar]Grammy Award winners Yes, one of the most influential and groundbreaking progressive rock and roll bands, has announced the signing of a new worldwide recording deal with the Italian record label Frontiers Records. Songs such as "Roundabout", "I've Seen All Good People", "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", and countless others, have served to place the group upon the pantheon of rock and roll history. But history is still, yet to be written, because Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Alan White, along with Oliver Wakeman (Rick Wakeman's son) and new lead singer Benoit David, will enter the studio to record the groups first new CD in a decade. It is anticipated for release before summer 2011.
Frontiers Records President, Serafino Perugino said: "I am truly honored and excited to have these rock and roll pioneers on the label. Yes have written some fabulous pages in the history of this music and I look forward to keep on writing new exciting chapters with them!"
"Having the two new guys in the line-up has inspired the impetus behind the need for YES to return to the studio," explains Chris Squire, while Steve Howe adds "The new lineup has shown that we can operate well as a touring band, so now to expand that to recording would broaden our repertoire and the inclusion of Oliver and Benoit on new recordings will show a new leaf in YES music's continuing development."
One of the most popular concert attractions of all-time Yes's remarkable career has served to redefine the boundaries of rock. Proving to be a dominant force for more than four decades, Yes has sold over 33 million albums worldwide. Their symphonic use of sound and innovative musical style has made each of the group's players a virtuoso in his own right. [/quote]

Fragile was also the first album I heard from them, which also got me into them.
Listening to that now on spotify :buddy:
I've never given them a listen, but I have a good amont of records of them.
I love Yes. I got to sing with John Anderson last year, and it was freakin amazing.

Yes are bloody brilliant! Tales from Topographic Oceans is excellent.
I think I might like their album art more than their music, admittedly.
Cans and Brahms is their best song
I've never listened to them. What albums would you guys recommend me to start of with?
Going for the One
Relayer
Close to the Edge
Fragile
In that order :v:
Thanks.
