    Going for the One was the first LP I bought of theirs way back in 1981 or so. It sent me down the rabbit hole to other classics like The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge. Great opening track and unusual in that Jon Anderson's lyrics are relatively straightforward and sensical. Love your enthusiasm and passion for the music!

Another Yes album masterpiece, you will not believe your ears when you hear "Turn of the century" and "Awaken" the latter alongside "Close to the Edge" arguably their greatest works, the remaining tracks "Parallels" and "Wonderous Stories" are also fantastic.

    Yes is truly my favorite band. So much so that I have their logo tattooed on my back along with another Rodger Dean interpretation of DaVinci's plane on the Fragile album. I've been seeing them since 1976 and have never seen a bad show. I've had back stage passes and met the band several times over the course of four decades. Some of the nicest and amazingly talented people you could hope to meet. Years ago they did a concert on DVD called " Yes Symphonic " that has all the big songs along with a full orchestra as back up. Yes's music is so complex in the way it is composed it instantly lends itself to an orchestral arrangement. For all off you Yes fans out there who have not seen it it's a must

    I've been a fan of Yes for 50 years or so, and not only is this my favorite Yes song of all time, it's my favorite song of all time, period. It is by far, to me, unequalled in its "headphone-ocity," with magical sounds - primarily courtesy of Rick Wakeman - swirling and cascading around the ears, something the live version does not capture.

    • @TRANZEURO
      @TRANZEURO 2 года назад +1

      "something the live version does not capture" Which is why I always recommend to new listeners of *ANY* artist not just YES to always listen to the original and official studio versions of songs before listening to live versions.There are things that can be done in studio that can't be replicated the same or as well in a live setiing.

    Thank you for answering my request!!! I thought you would like this amazing song!!!! Which is the anthem or theme song of my life when I heard it in 1977. I would recommend your next reaction would be Awaken which is the last Finale song on the album "Going For The One," however you did mentioned that you wanted to hear the whole album......if you are set up to hear the whole album.....break your videos down to Part 1 which would be Side 1 on the album.....and then the next reaction video would be Part 2 which would be your second reaction to Side 2 of "The Going For The One" album. If you aren't set up do whole albums.....I would recommend and request you react to "Awaken" which is the closing and last song on the "Going For The One" album by YES. There were many Rock bands out there in the 60's and early 70's that were just as great as Led Zeppelin.......we had many choices on which band we liked the most.......it was very hard.....Yes was that band for me that always Amazed and uplifted me.....I got where they were coming from....and....so will you!!!! I really enjoy your reaction which was great btw......I laughed a lot!!!!!

    That’s Steve Howe on slide guitar. One of rocks royalty. He makes that slide cry at the end. This is another ‘classic lineup’ Yes album…a latter one. Tormato is also from this era and also exceptional. Listen to Awaken of this same album. It is a ‘religious’ experience. South Side of The Sky of Fragile is another great song…. Actually all classic lineup Yes album up through the 80s are exceptional.

  • @christopherjones546
    @christopherjones546 2 года назад +2

    Hey Zay! You've got to check out "Tempus Fugit" by Yes from the album Drama. When they did that album the singer Jon Anderson and the keyboardist Rick Wakeman had left the band and were replaced by Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes of the Buggles (you may have heard their song "Video Killed the Radio Star"). It's a little different sound for Yes, but still definitely Yes, and it is totally rocking! Definitely one of my favorite Yes songs, and I promise it will be one of yours too!

    • @psbarrow
      @psbarrow 2 года назад +1

      @@LucasVigor It was Wakeman's opinion too, and I think his view carries more weight than either yours or mine. Anderson had (and still has) a very distinctive voice and was the main lyricist, take both away and you don't just lose one fifth of the band's sound. "Drama" might be a good record, but it's not a YES album, the musical direction of which is why Anderson, and then Wakeman, left.
      Your analogy with other bands is hardly relevant. Many couldn't tell the difference between Gabriel and Collins as singers, and Floyd eventually became a completely different band after Barrett left. So what?

    A band is doing great to have a single “top 50” instrumentalist. Yes had a top 50 drummer, a top 10 guitar player a top 5 keyboardist and a top 5 bassist. Jon Anderson’s vocals are an acquired taste for some, but to me he’s a top 10 vocalist. So LOADED with skill and talent but also young guys bold enough to experiment and do wild things.

    There's an underappreciated Yes song called America which, to my ears sounds a bit like this in that it has a strong guitar groove going on. It is a Paul Simon cover but Yes put their own very unique stamp on it, of course.
    You also *must* listen to Close To The Edge. It is almost universally considered to ne the pinbacle of Yes and if you like a lot of background sounds going on like on this track I reckon you will *love* Close to the Edge.
    (Studio album versions for both.)

  • @psbarrow

    One of Anderson's funniest, self-deprecating responses to critics who don't understand his lyrics:
    "Now the verses I've sung
    Don't add much weight to the story in my head
    So I'm thinking I should go and write a punchline
    But they're so hard to find in my cosmic mind
    So I think I'll take a look out of the window."

    I consider this the last of the classic YES albums. After this we go DRAMA which lacks key members like Jon. I though YES was done for good. Then it was eventually followed by the more commercial "90125" with no Steve on strings or Rick on keys. There were later album releases, but the 1970s will always be the YES era to me.
    Best song? No. We are just grooming you for their best. Get ready for the album-side-length "Close To The Edge". Get ready to go on a wonderful trip.
