Noel Gallagher Has a Boring Taste in Music

Trollheart · 12-31-2022, 08:39 AM

Clearly, but still my own. I'm just no fan of 70s Yes. I've listened to some of those albums - Tales from Tedious Oceans, Relaxer, Tomato, Going For Just One - and I just cannot get into them. The one word that comes to me every time I play 70s Yes is - and yes, I understand this is a sort of oxymoron, coming from a proghead - boring. I like Yes on 90125, Big Generator, Union, ABWH, but nothing before that. No, not even Dramatics.

Sorry, Jon

That's unusual: we both like Yes, but don't seem to have a single album in common. My faves, in approx order are Fragile, Time And A Word, "Tedious Oceans" (), Close To The Edge, The Yes Album . Can't really give an opinion on the albums you like because after the disappointing Relayer I gave up on Yes completely, in favour of a far more modest style of music: Neil Young, John Fahey and stuff like that. Yes had exhausted my appetite for prog music.

Then you must come over to the dark side...

^ Haha! Yes, I remember that song, and how many of my friends enthused about it, and later, about Lizard and Larks Tongues.

I got interested in Fripp much later, when I heard No Pussyfooting.

Crimson King is a superb album, there's no doubt. I may have come late to that but I do recognise its greatness, and yes (DEEP BREATH) I would take it over Close to the Edge any day, and twice on Sundays. (Ducks)

Just admit you're a dork who likes dorky prog and quit trying to front.

TheBig3 · 01-01-2023, 02:15 PM

You don't like any metal?

TheBig3 · 01-01-2023, 02:50 PM

And you're just going to go through life like that?

He likes Venom.
