For rock... The Who... For all avenues...YES ! 😊😊😊😊😊

YES ... Checks all the boxs... No doubt !! 😮 😊 ❤

This was a favorite of mine as a kid when it first came out. I still remember the Thanksgiving episode vividly.

Norman Rockwell is Bleeding should be ranked as one of the best EVER. Loved the tv show, too.

How can we tell of what house you are? Ain’t you been sorted? Hufflepuff, right?

Yo, they really made arthur a chickenshit. You say that shit about me and my family in front of my family? Nah, fam we dont even have time to take this outside lbs

Did you really just call a violent gang of bullies targeting one guy for no real reason a rivalry?

Nirvana? Talk about over rated. Beatles changed more than any other band album to album. No way to pigeon hole them. They always grew and evolved. Zep ripped off many blues players, but did give credits on their first album. And talk about a blueprint. More bands copied them because they kicked ass. Even today you can enjoy their music. But I get it with Yes. Don't forget Genesis. These bands mixed the classical music with rock. Accomplished musicians and complex music way beyond the garage band rock. Progressive was a trip for almost 20 minutes at a time. The instruments that were available and the skill made rock music so much more than rock. Just listen to Jon Andersons latest album at 79 with a group of younger highly trained musicians and you will hear bliss.

Yes is the best band. No doubt

You said you had an “apostrophe”. Don’t you mean an “epiphany”? Interesting malapropism!

Yes.

Focusing almost entirely on yourself is not just excruciatingly narcissistic, but just crazy lazy. But you are just plain lazy. You claim to analyse a show you watched once, through a single week to get in 10 years. But then to not show hardly any clips - just lazy lazy lazy. Maybe if you took a hundred pages of notes and referred to them, but no, you relied on a memory that is now confused after 236 episodes, 5,192 minutes, or 85 and a half hours.

I HATE analysis of a show by someone who knows almost nothing of the show and guesses everything wrong. Everything wrong. That is a feat. Not one to be proud of, yet there you are, patting yourself on the back as you run down 10 years of work by hundreds of people.

Really interesting take on Mike

A band that probably shouldn’t have survived the ‘60s much less still be around in ‘24! The enigma that is known as “The Rolling Stones” They still fill Football Stadiums👍

Vampire Diaries and Stranger Things are the only shows that I can think of off the top of my head that had an AMAZING first season. No “finding their footing” or having a rough “just get through the first season because the next two are so worth it”.

Die hard yes head here.

I think How I met your mother gets more flak then it deserves for its last season. You can not like the story, but you can tell that was always going to be the ending, one of the easiest ways is that all of Ted’s kids lines were filmed on the front end, because they never aged! kids age a lot! Look at David Henry (Ted’s son) even between season 1 how I met your mother and season 1 wizards of waverly place he is older. I appreciate that they stuck to the story they wanted to tell in a way that makes sense.

Nice

Mega mega review! Loved it and hope you do more Friends content :) I always hate how they treated Joey he never gets an ending (terrible spin off aside) And I also don’t like Ross and Rachel ending up together. Her going to Paris would be the perfect arc of growth and shedding Ross who held her back in so may ways

I think a lot of Seinfeld episodes do what you described! Example: Kramer plays golf on the beach, George pretends to be a marine biologist and saves a whale by pulling a golf ball out of its blowhole! A hole in one 😅

What would you say are the best decisions the Seinfeld show made?

I would agree that Mike saved the series. I had always thought it went down hill by that point but I also really loved Mike and wanted to see more of him in the series.

Very interesting points! I'm actually in the middle of a rewatch right now and not yet in the later seasons, so excited to watch them with this perspective in mind. - I was not sure if I was going to watch the whole video but you have a great commentary presence and great pacing. Subscribing!

The best friends decision you can make is not to watch if you don't have a vagina.

Yes really is the best, that doesnt mean everyone should like them, music is very personal etc, but on points Yes wins. Though I disagree on the catchy lyrics and riffs thing even specific to early 70's Yes, they are catchy, mostly in a non-traditional way, but very catchy. And Roundabout and everything on the 1st 3 albums - mostly very catchy, often in a traditional way. And the best line-up is all the line-ups from The Yes Album through Tormato, and when variations of them were together after that. Yes didnt invent prog, though they may have taken it farthest.

I actually liked the final season of Parks & Rec partly because it was dedicated to giving each character an individual and satisfying ending throughout the season rather than just the last episode or so.

The greatest band ever is subjective. I went to hs from a town on long island, massapequa ,from 72-76. Brian Setzer, Elliot Easton (the cars) to name a couple, came out of this town plus a bucket load of drummers, bass players who went on to professional careers. During that period it was "cool" to play an instrument. You could walk down any block and hear teenagers practicing their instruments. In the summer virttually every party, and there were lots of them back then, there would be live music. We were always learning new songs... Some guys became. Chet Atkins style finger pickers, a friend of mine was duane allman reincarnated, all the black blues players, clapton. Some guys could play jimmy page better than jimmy page. setzer was playing steely dan when he was about 11. We all knew each other and each's style rubbed off on you a little. for example, listen to Elliott eastern's work with the cars, you'll hear all the influences. Setzer could play anything, but it was the stray cats that took off, before that he was playing punk rock, and before that more traditional rock stuff. Ok... What does this have to do with the best rock band... There wasnt youtube back then. To learn a song youd slow the turntable down so it played an octive lower and/or record a song to cassette and rewind it 1,000 times. So...whats the point? Two words... Steve Howe. When The Yes album came out, all the guitar players went out and bought it. Everry one from the chet atkins guys to the clapton/allman guys to the jimmy page guys to the larry carlton steely dan guys. Then the bass players and drummers would hear it... Whos that bass player? Nobody sounds like that....Whos that drummer? Sent manny drummers home with the yes album to practice more. The work between bruford and squire is legendary but it was the way the songs were crafted where the bass and guitar were on equal footing. When we dissected these yes songs we were intrigued by their individual creativity. Steve Howe didnt need to be on volume 10 and the star of every song like all the other guitar players of that time. He basically passed off the "heaviness and grit" to the bass. That was unique. The bass player now had an arsenal of foot pedals. To play these songs we all had to become, good, REAL good. Couldnt hide the bass player. Drummer better have a real good feel for time. And where do you find someone who can do all the styles used by Steve Howe? A singer? Even a girl is gunna have a hard time hiiting some of the notes in heart of the sunrise. Does this make them the greatest band ever? I bet there are millions who would say the rolling stones. But yes was different. These guys could rock with the best of them and then turn on a dime in the same song and play something light as a feather as when the vocals come in on heart of the sunrise. Bruford said yes was a democracy, everything was up for debate. Not only were they virtuosos, but their compositional skills were of the first magnitude. Their vocal harmonies were also first class. They not only were groundbreaking the way they played but their whole approach to song structure and composition was unique. Listen to Howe on CTTE... Hes throwing in subtle jazz, chet atkins style licks all over the place while the bass growls and hits you in the face. From Fragile, Roundabout, howe plays simple harmonics while squires bass line dominates. Listen to howes work on heart of the sunrise, a track dominated by squire and bruford. There are sections where if your not listening for the guitar, youd wouldnt notice it, but it fit perfectly for the atmosphere of the song. Wakeman was the final piece to the puzzle. Not only did he bring all the new keyboard sounds with him but he was classically trained. When yes struggled to come up with pieces that would transition one section to another it was wakeman who knew how to do it in a musically sophisticated way. Greatest band? Thats debatable... But there is no doubt about their influence on the bands that followed like rush and kansas. Sorry rush fans, thats why yes is always one notch above rush - even the members of rush admit it. Members of kansas, including walsh, have admitted it. Dream theater too. The list is long.

Keep it up!

Top band, been lucky enough to see the whole career. ❤

If you pick my criteria for the best band in the world then the band I choose, wins! I see what you did there. 😜 But given your criteria, I'm finding it hard to think of another band that would score more than Yes. I'd even give them a point for catchy tunes. Roundabout? Heart of the Sunrise... 'Love comes to you and then after, Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise. Sharp distance How can the wind with its arms all around me? Sharp distance How can the wind with so many around me? I feel lost in the city'. Or the finale section of Close to the Edge, 'Close to the edge, down by a river Down at the end, round by the corner Seasons will pass you by Now that it's all over and done Called to the seed, right to the sun Now that you find, now that you're whole Seasons will pass you by I get up, I get down I get up, I get down I get up, I get down'.

I don’t have the time to work this out, but Rush would probably come in higher and U2 would also score quite highly.

RUSH.

I’m huge Yes fan, and they are not the best band on the planet. Yet they wrote some compositions “Gates, Close, Awaken” which people can pick as their favourite song of all time, this is already the biggest accomplishment that artist can achieve

I argued with my dad (a way-back musicphile) that Yes was the first progressive band, and he introduced me to Strawberry Alarm Clock, but he told me the first true prog band was The Moody Blues, which I can see. Yes, though, I can agree is the greatest prog band, closely followed by Dream Theater.

My top four: 1.Dream Theater 2.Kansas 3.Rush 4.Muse

In The Court of The Crimson King was the first progressive rock album ever and it was out two years before Yes appeared on the music scene.

yes, Yes

My problems: Yes didn't invent prog. you'll find plenty of prog a couple of years before yes's debut album. and their debut stuff isn't what influenced later prog, if anything, the first influential prog album is either days of future passed or in the court of the crimson king The bullet points aren't weighted enough. Having virtuosic musicians matters way less than being influential. and cause influence is a spectrum, it doesn't balance stuff much there are other bands that'd do just as well if not better than yes, especially in progressive rock itself. and tbh, the list is fairly biased towards prog cause it hammers on uniqueness and talent which would apply to ever prog band of the 70s. ac/dc's 2 main vocalists CAN sing. I doubt anyone think bon Scott can't and as for Brian Johnson, there are clips of him singing with his clean voice for his previous band "geordie'. and he sings just as well as anyone else

I might be the biggest Yes fan I know; I own the majority of their albums, have gone to one of their modern shows, and theirs is the music which I feel influenced my own tastes the most. However, I think your reasons for choosing a greatest possible band is somewhat misguided and based a lot on subjective criteria. I get that this was kind of just a thought experiment, but this is just a strange experiment to do. Why look for the greatest band of all time? In relation to what? For example, one of the criterion you chose to judge these bands on is virtuosity. This, of course, gives progressive bands an edge because they incorporate complex classical structures and techniques to their songwriting, which requires deft hands to do well. But why does that necessarily make them the best? Would you consider an Yngwie Malmsteen solo necessarily more valuable to a band than one by Andrew Latimer of Camel? Or consider those genres of rock that actively rebel against 'elitist' complexity and virtuosity in their work, like the Sex Pistols. Is their lack of virtuosity a negative in considering whether they were a great band? I'm not trying to pick a fight BTW, I'm happy Yes is getting recognized for their artistry in their work, but asking which band is the greatest is an empty question that doesn't bring about much useful information, because your criteria don't necessarily lead to the question you're asking. Something much more useful you could ask is "which band was the most influential in their respective genre?", which is even one of your criteria, where you said that Yes invented progressive rock. I don't think they did, because King Crimson's debut was certainly much more influential in starting the genre than Yes', and neither were the first prog album, but that's beside the point. Another more useful question could be "Which band is the most effective at using their genre's characteristics to create a song?", because then you can analyse music more objectively by identifying the specific techniques and how they contributed to the effect the song was going for. Anyway, interesting video. Cheers😊

I'm a big YES fan, but in my opinion, artistically, looking for absolute ratings is completely useless. Because even for myself, one day I'd rather listen to YES and maybe later I'd rather listen to EL&P, or King Crimson, or Led Zeppelin, or the Beatles, or Tool, or one of numerous other bands or artists.

Ok. To Pick Nirvana as one of three (!) Bands to be potentially the greatest Band is beyond comedy.

Obviously anyone would pick the Beatles as one of the contenders but how did you just pick Nirvana and Zeppelin as the others? Zeppelin didn't even write a huge portion of "their" songs. That alone is a reason not to include them. They are also NOT the reason for modern rock sounding the way it does, the Beatles are. Rush are way more influential than Nirvana not to mention they have both the greatest drummer and bass player in rock. Peart is also widely considered one of the greatest (if not the greatest) lyricist of all time. There isn't a rock band with better chops. So I can't take this video seriously when you chose poorly from the start. By the way, the Beatles ARE the greatest rock band ever. Too many reasons to list.

This is one of my top favorite movies ever - I've seen it a few times, but in this video you've showed a few things that I hadn't even noticed before, such as the detail of only the accusations being shown in Richard's trial, rather than any evidence to his innocence; that was a really smart move! And I had no idea that the train wreck was actually real, I'd assumed they used models! 20:24 - definitely one of the most impactful scenes of the movie. The characters' personalities and motivations are distilled, as well as the path that the plot will take after this, in only two lines. It also perfectly displays the power dynamic here; Richard is on the defensive (desperate only to prove his innocence, with nothing but that statement to back him up) while Gerard is on the offensive (it isn't his job to believe or disbelieve Richard, only to apprehend a criminal, and he has all the resources to do so). 24:10 - another one of my favorite scenes! I definitely saw it as Newman expressing his disagreement with Gerard's actions because it put him in danger, and Gerard's simple answer carries a lot of weight; he's establishing that he is going to take the most direct solution to a problem, even if it means taking a risk. He's also reminding Newman that he's in charge here, and he won't accept criticism for the way he's leading his team - but, although this could make Gerard come off as callous, his next action (giving Newman the blanket) shows that he's always got his teammates in mind. It shows that to be on Gerard's side is to be protected even though there's risk involved, but to be against him is deadly. The best thing about this movie, to me, is that no moment is wasted. Every shot and every line of dialogue has meaning, and that is conveyed perfectly by the actors and storytelling - and also, nothing is over-explained. The writers of this movie trust the audience to understand both the direct meaning of each scene as well as the subtext. Because nothing is over-explained, it also makes this movie so worth re-watching to find even more elements you might not have noticed before! You're really good at analyzing and critiquing films and pointing out details like this!

I watched this movie with my family for the first time about a year ago. It is a MASTERPIECE. It is a smart movie about human nature that shows the unwavering determination of push vs pull, unstoppable force vs immovable object, Unstoppable force vs OTHER Unstoppable force. This movie will never get old because it will never FEEL old. There is nothing in it that relies on older technologies or methods. What it really boils down to is two kinds of people chasing something. One of them is chasing the truth, symbolizing something we can't see or touch, something beyond the physical world as we know it. The other is chasing a man, symbolizing the physical and earthly things that we CAN see, and we CAN touch.

No one talks about it because it has been parodied to hell and back and then to hell again. The movie is very good. I also liked the sequel, even if it wasn't as good. Snipes was killing it in the 90s.

I saw the An Inspector Calls movie! It's a very profound movie, but also very understated - I didn't even know it was a play first!

Do a review on Rings of Power next!

I realize it’s not the point of the video, but I think the Death cord or whatever actually does fit frozen 2. Usually after it plays things get nuts. My daughter’s favorite words right now are “more Anna” so I’ve been watching it a lot

Commision: Do rings of power next
