ANY self-respecting Yes fan needs to have Olias of Sunhillow and Fish Out Of Water, they are essential. Forget the other three.

Tell me that Squire isn't tearing it up on this

I wish there was a way to remove Wakeman tho....

Maybe the most under-appreciated single Yes song, I absolutely love this

Although I love Fragile, and Close to the Edge, I gotta go with Drama. Simply for the fact that it contains these two songs:

Does it Really Happen by Yes - YouTube

Tempus Fugit by Yes - YouTube

I like Trevor.

I was surprised how good (and, more to the point, Yes-like) a Yes album could be without Jon Anderson. Drama didn't age well for me, tho...

I can kinda see what you're saying here, I *almost* agree, but he doesn't actually put me off. One thing about Howe, I think in all the annals of MAJOR (meaning multi-platinum) recording artists, Steve Howe uses by an EXTREME degree the heaviest gauge guitar strings. He's almost using piano strings on that sucker.

Yeah, you gotta get through the clunkers to hit the good stuff on Drama.

Into the Lens is an OK single, along with a few other singles on the album. Golden Age is my favorite (maybe) so far. I like the work by Chris Squire and Steve Howe on the track Tempus Fugit. I just got the album a few weeks back so I'm still trying to find something that I really like from the album itself. It's hard for me to listen too much of the album for any long period of time, but I havent given up yet. Something might grow on me after I listen to the album a few more times. So far .. nothing special.

I'll stick with Chris Squires album, Fish out of Water everytime.
