The Official Yes Thread (pop, rock, favorite song, albums, Nirvana)

[Chula Vista]

Last few clips I've seen of Steve you could tell he was struggling to keep up with his old frantic self.

Recently saw a clip where during a sound check he completely went off on a spot dude who was missing his mark. No yelling, just really demeaning stuff in that snobby British way. Lost a ton of respect for one of my top 5 fiddle heroes that day.

80s Yes. I'm in a big minority in liking the 2nd album by that lineup better than 90210.

Yeah that's an old clip, I saw it years ago, he definitely comes off as a douche but apparently he always had a reputation of being the cranky one of the group.

Jon on the other hand always seems like the chillest guy.

90210!!! Oh that's classic!

I'm also a Big Generator guy - first Yes album I heard and started my interest in them, which quickly faded as I travelled backwards in time.

For me (unpopular I guess but hell it's me)
Big Generator
ABWH (shut up it is)
90125
Union
The Ladder

That is all.

80s Yes is fine if I pretend it's a totally different project and don't compare it to the 70s albums. I think I read once that 90125 was originally meant to be released under a different name, which makes a lot of sense.

Post-80s Yes has its moments, but I'm never going to be super excited about listening to it.

Was going to be Cinema until Anderson agreed to join in.

All I know is both 90215 and Big Generator are miles better than the garbage Tormato and Drama. Listened to both recently for the first time in years - TERRIBLE.
