Trolls' reasons for not liking an album before he's even heard it:

1. It has cover songs
2. It has too few songs
3. tbd



Not 'getting' Close to the Edge means you don't get to title any threads as "Prog" - imo.

What's next? The Fortress of Punk where you admit to not liking 'Never Mind the Bollocks'?

(just joshing with ya Trolls!)

I have to really be in a very particular mood, and it's rare, but every now and then a spin through 'Kind of Blue' is ridiculously satisfying in a very earthy way.


The better the quality of the recording and playback system..... well, the better.

Back to Prog

Have you mentioned Starcastle yet? Holy bejeebus, their first 2 albums should have had warning stickers on them:

"Sounds exactly like Yes, but without any of the creativity."

It sounds like music specifically made for a Yes documentary because the producers couldn't get the rights to use the real songs.

I'll admit to liking a little jazz, among them being KOB. As for Starcastle, I try to stay away from them as even the mention of their name increases my sugar intake. Should have been drowned at birth. Yuck.

What's really funny is how many in my circle bought that first album and really dug it for a while - myself included.

Yes' last album was Relayer in 1974 and the rumors were the band was done. When Starcastle landed in 76 a lot of us were hard up for anything new and Yes-ish.

Any port in a storm.

Didn't take long for most of us to realize it was all frosting and no cake. Thankfully Yes re-surfaced shortly after with Going for the One.

I mean it's not like Yes fans were left empty handed during the band's hiatus, Squire and Anderson both put out fantastic solo albums during that period.
