My favourite is Magnification. I'm a sucker for rock/orchestra fusions, ELO being the textbook example. So in many ways that album felt tailor-made to my tastes. Personally I liked it a lot more than Time and a Word, simply because I liked the songs and general production more.

I picked Going For the One.

To me this is the one that hits the sweet spot between progressive and accessible.

I like Fragile,90125 and Big Generator the most out of all of them.......

I like all of those listed, plus a couple of others (esp. the debut, Talk and event Tormato...); I voted Relayer.

I voted Going For The One just because of memories associated with it.

^ Thanks for the info. I've only seen RW live when with Yes, at the ABWH and Yes Union tours (so that's a while back...), never on a solo tour. Might be interesting. I hope he will have some dates on the continent.

My vote went to The Yes Album. It's really the only album from the band I really like. The interest I once had in progressive/prop/whatever didn't last very long.

The show nearest me has a pretty nice career bio included with ticket info.

The one time I saw Yes was with an orchestra and Rick Wakeman was not on that tour. The show taught me that not every song sounds better with an orchestra!

I can still listen and enjoy some prog/alt/underground/avant-garde but it's mostly the stuff I listened to as a ute when I fancied myself an enlightened lad. I've since accepted that I'm a rust-belt rube and don't challenge my progressively shrinking attention span.

However, I am very grateful for those heady days of late night college radio. Bands like Yes, ELP, Genesis and King Crimson were the mainstream fare. I loved the nightly excursions listening to bands like Gong, Gentle Giant, Renaissance, Van Der Graaf Generator, Hoslips and countless others. The DJs would almost take on a top 40 persona when playing new artists like UK and Brand X. Oh, those were the days my friend.
