Hi. I quite loved Tales from Topographic Oceans. To ignore Relayer and keyboardist Patrick Moraz was a shame.
This narrator is a Dumbass.
He skipped most of the late 70s stuff (Going for the One, Relayer, Tormato)
Yep, you were thinking what I was thinking. Good form, sir.
the narrator is clearly an idiot
Was thinkin' the same.....
I will never understand the critics' hate for Tales From Topographic Oceans
It is a great album and it was awesome to hear more than half of it in their recent concerts. It is viciously maligned for really unfair reasons. Tales is a work of art.
I think the world is finally coming around. The Steven Wilson remaster is AWESOME and over the last 18 months, I've read more rave reviews of TfTO than in all the decades before. Perhaps the audience has finally caught up with what is one of the best-crafted, most ambitious, and most successful pieces of long-form rock ever. If you can't get into it, I suggest just playing the last 5-7 minutes of each side. Every track ends so powerfully (even Side 3), with melodies that you just can't get out of your head.
with you on this one Russ
I will but I like the album anyway.
These are the same critics that say they hate mainstream movies but trash any film that is bold, so it was with Tales from Topographic Oceans. I still remember the first time I took it out of its sleeve (remember those?) and saw with wonder the single track on each side. Awesome.
1:55 - Tales From Topographic Oceans is better than Rolling Stone Magazine.
Durden X Yes
This!
Tales From Topographic Oceans sucks??? More like, Rolling Stone SUCKS!!!
always the authors of music criticism I have the least care and respect for
Dude. I feel like this guy just didn't even listen to the songs in full. Just went "what is with this slow part?" Fuck man, remembering kills. Such a fucking powerful song.
Helps to remember that RS adores bands that create ink - Kurt Cobain and Tupac come to mind - or have some wack California connection. It was never about music that had to be listened to to be understood.
This guy (or these people) are entitled to his/their opinion. So here's mine: Tales From Topographic Oceans is a great album. I love it. I believe the Bruford/Wakeman, Fragile/CTTE line-up is the best, with CTTE being their best album. But Tales is amazing. But, as so many have already stated: Relayer/Moraz, not even mentioned; Going for the One/Wakeman return, not even mentioned. Ridiculous. And, as many have also already stated, this is from Rolling Stone. It has no credibility. That's MY opinion.
Definitely-this video was not Yes "history," but rather a Rolling Stone travesty. I think the smug narrator enjoyed himself immensely with this one.
Fuck Rolling Stone.
As illegitimate as the "rock and roll hall of fame"
Maybe more illegitimate
@@tonalvibrancy Well, at least his right hand enjoyed itself. No mention of drama, either. From Tales he jumped to 90125. Oops, did the moron forget Awaken?
Ken
Geddy Lee filling in for Chris at the induction felt so right. Guy was super influenced by yes, spent the entire 70s playing a Rickenbacker and probably loved getting to play with the band with Rush retired. Literally the only guy on the planet to do those bass lines justice
The Roling Stone was never a great source of good info about music anyway
Rolling Stone, in its early years, was a great magazine. But as the FM rock industry they they were based on changed in the seventies, becoming more mainstream and lame, the same happened to RS.
SCREW rolling stone - Once good - today a Bunch of commie-anti- Americans!!!
F rolling stone
You're kinda right, for example because they made a list of top 50 prog rock albums and there was Dark Side Of The Moon on 1st place and The Court on 2nd. In my opinion Pink Floyd isn't prog.
they described Golden Earring's seminal 8 miles high lp as a 3rd rate Led Zep imitation...and they slagged Amon Duul 2 off and lauded Hawkwind..if it wasnt anglo american then RS didnt deem it as worthwhile
Loves Genesis but hates Tales? Sounds like someone has never actually listened to Tales with an open mind.
Jeramie Jackson same Genesis fan that lists Home by the drum machine er uh I mean Sea as their greatest epic
Or Genesis with an open mind.
The only Genesis even worth listening to was with Peter Gabriel and even 90% of that was boring noodle shit and with Phil Collins they are at the very center of what made the 80s a joke. Yes is about 1 billion times better than Genesis
Jeff Bridges you clearly do not listen to Genesis
Tales could have been one good album...but as it turned out is was two boring albums long.
Lol where is Relayer ?
And Going for the One?
And Talk?
Tormato.
Talk has moments ... Relayer, forget it ... too deep for RS to even begin to understand ... they left out Moraz as well ... a-holes
TheZelfe that's vmy second favorite Yes album
Lets get real. First of all... Tales from Topographic Oceans was light years ahead of its time. Something Rolling Stone drive by journalist fluffs don't understand. Maybe because they're journalists and G-chord strummers and not musicians.
I can't believe he said that about tfto. The whole album is a masterpiece. If that sucks then so does close to the edge which I think is equally as good an album as tfto. Relayer however in my opinion is the best album. He didn't even cover relayer.
I have a close core of big Yes fans I went to high school with in the 70s. Every single one of us thinks Tales is fabulous and most of us' favorite ablum. What a dunce. BTW, Jon Anderson calls Awaken as the 5th side of Tales.
This is Rolling Stone. What do you expect?
Isn't Awaken on Going for the One.
Exactly, The Rembering, that's my favorite song on Topographic Oceans, I just gotten into Yes about a three years ago, because I never really knew anything about the group back then. But now I do, this song is the stuff of beauty, it's sweet, eloquent, extravagant, and majestic all in one. This really is an Incredible album. It's a marvelous piece of work that will be remembered for eons.
you gotta admit the two middle songs have a lot of filler, but ritual and science are masterpieces
You missed some points. The most important being Patrick Moraz replacing Wakeman for the Relayer album and then Wakeman returning for Going for the One and Tormato. Saying Tales from Topographic Oceans sucked and that 90125 was fun makes you lose any creditably. The way you pronounce Trevor Rabin says it all.
90125 is a good album
@@killerinstinctstudios9065 I agree it's an excellent album. It was never intended to be a Yes album. Chris Squire and Alan White were looking to form a band after Steve Howe left to join Asia. Trevor Rabin was brought in and wrote most of the songs. It was going to be called Cinema with Trevor singing and playing guitar. When Jon Anderson got involved the record company pushed them to call it Yes to better market the album.
This is the worst Yes history I've ever seen.
Trevor Ray - bean.
@@killerinstinctstudios9065 City of Love Rocks
There is a reason I don't read Rolling Stones. Because it's full of crap like this, trying to be edgy and smart, and failing horribly.
Thrasher91604 paraphrasing Frank Zappa they are people who can't write, inteviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read, or in this case making shitty youtube videos
Thrasher91604 horribly ; is tame
I agree. What an ass. How could you trash Tales, and forget Relayer. And then qualify his "favorite" prog band out by saying he likes genesis more.
RS was notoriously anti-prog for years. They pretty much gave every Moody Blues a star and a half, and that prick Jann Wenner lobbied to keep bands like them, Yes, Genesis, Rush, et al. out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for years. Fortunately, much to his chagrin I'm sure, all those bands have aged a lot better than he thought, and not even the Rock Hall can ignore that anymore, given that all the above bands have now been inducted.
If this guy actually works with RS then he should get fired because he's very unprofessional. Using the f word? Really?
Tales was fucking incredible
Really? Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman and Alan White didn’t think so. Rick Wakeman found it boring and too full of ‘padding’ and filler, Chris Squire said Anderson ‘didn’t think it through” it was “spacey” and totally deserve the critical planning that it got after its release. I can link the interview with Chris if you really want to hear it. I have to say I agree with Chris and Rick on this one.
@@magicalmystery1964 Ritual is incredible though
@@magicalmystery1964 Rick criticized it. Chris understood the criticism bc he was always late. The other members simply thought it needed to be worked on more, adjusted. They understood the critics at the time bc even then the band didn’t understand the album themselves but after a while they spoke of it favorably.
@@hpatss4966 what did his being late have to do with the criticism of Tales???
@@magicalmystery1964 I think it should have been four 10 minute songs, then it would have been ok, there's enough good material for a 40-50 minute album
*sigh* I should have known when I saw the name Rolling Stone not to click on it. You can always rely on them to have their information wrong, make asinine commentary, and to attack and besmirch the finest bands out there.
No mention of Patrick Moraz. (Relayer)
del bartel
Koroshev, Sherwood,...
@@Massachamp08 Brislin was AWESOME.
He playedon Relayer
@Andrew Peterson played on Relayer album
Yeah where’s Going for the One and Tormato?
It seems way more snarky than it needed to be. Sure, it comes from a viewpoint of a "non-adoring" fan, which is prob. a good place for a history of a band- generally speaking, since they wouldn't fawn over their favorite parts or albums and forget to "move" the history along for those uninformed about the band. Having said that, it comes across more like he was assigned to do a history of Yes, from the perspective of someone who actually has an opinion about them, as in, he doesn't really like them. It needs to be more factual than that. This had bias in the wrong places too many times, and it felt like he was looking for dirt, rather than explaining the history of the band. I love this band, will always be able to listen to their music, and I have my favorites, and things that aren't as good, like everyone else. I won't let this bother me- I take this video with a grain of salt, because I know the history of the band already, and I know how much Yes means to me in my music listening.
Favorite reply. Yours is no disgrace. ✝️
It was insulting to talk about Steve Howe in the way he did as well. Obviously he isn't the best looking guy, but that is not something that needs to be brought up in a video like this.
Why the Hell fast forward from TFTO to Drama?I gave up on this after I heard him say Trevor "Ray Bean".
Is this Narrated by Chris Griffin?
dude...that was perfect!
More like Stewie, with the rampant disrespect.
Ha! I was trying to think of who he sounded like... Not any of the Simpsons' voices... But yes, Chris Griffin! You nailed it!
This made me laugh so hard!
Lmfao omg it does sound exactly like Chris Griffin
Okay, I can understand people not liking Tales (although I like it!) but at least they mentioned it. To completely skip Patrick Moraz, Relayer, Going For the One, and Tormato and jump to Drama with Downes and Horn is pretty inexcusable for someone covering the band's history. No point in finishing this video.
Five years later, I came back and watched the whole video. I still like Tales, and I also like Union, so there! ;-) No, it's not their best album, but it still has some great stuff on it. I really like contrasting the different songs and songwriters on it. In a way, it reminds me of Fragile, where each member got do one song of their own. Also, no mention of Fly From Here? Or did that happen after this video was done?
@@macsnafuThe Revealing Science Of God for me is the best song of yes along with CTTE and Gates Of Delirium
What a crappy thing to say about Steve Howe's appearance, which is an irrelevant opinon, when you are talking about the MUSIC of Yes.
This is more about the narrator/writer of this piece attempting to be cute, clever and witty rather than an accurate depiction of YES history as a band. Blech.
Who made this crap? Rolling Stone, yet again, you disappoint and disgrace the world of Rock Music yet again!
Tales from Topographic Oceans has to be the most criminally underrated album in the entire prog genre. Of course it’s not gonna click after one, two, or even three listens. Listen to The Revealing Science of God 10 times ATTENTIVELY with an open mind and tell me that it isn’t calculated brilliance from start to finish.
Doesn't hurt to smoke a fatty too.
I am 63 and still have goosebumps while listening to "Yessongs", "Going for the one (awaken)" and "Drama (Machine Messiah and Into the lens)".
I agree...YES & GENESIS (you forgot to mention the RELAYER era with Patrick Moraz, then the return of Wakeman with GOING FOR THE ONE...a stellar period)
Anyone who doesn't love Topographic Oceans isn't worth listening to in regards to Yes; it's their masterpiece. 90125 is bubblegum by comparison. Just because juveniles bought it, and disposed of the band the next year, doesn't mean anything.
Absolutely. Tales is fantastic and my favorite album, not taking anything away from the other albums.
I was one of those (14 yr. old) juveniles who bought 90125, and have disposed of nothing! Instead, I collected their entire discography before Big Generator came out. KindaGamey, I also heard Tales from T.O. for the first time on LSD, what a great experience and hearing it always brings back great memories, and I swear it's a little different every listen. Just bought a beautiful, near mint 1st press on vinyl as well...awesome!
I agree top 5 yes albums for me are tfto, drama, closer to the edge, union( ABWH material in it) and tie between 90125 and big generator. Relayer is good but I just can't get into it.
I literally stopped watching when he said it sucked
I generally like it, but side three is soooooo terrible.
Tales is beyond masterpiece. How dare you call it horrible
Tales from topographic is in my top 3 favorite albums by them and is what got me into Yes. That album was a masterpiece
My uncle was a big fan of Yes back in the 80s, 90125 is a classic in my family and will never die.
I love YES, and Union does not suck!
Union is rather disjointed, but it is still a fascinating album.
I agree with you ... Union is one of their less "inspired" ...but still it does not suck (it is better of many other albums of other bands)
Jon Anderson was having vocal problems and was sick and they wanted to keep going. Yes has always been about the band being more important than It's members
Geoff Downes , Peter Banks, Trevor Horn, Benoit David, Oliver Wakeman , Billy Sherwood and Patrick Moraz are real members of Yes if they played on the albums and toured
The Drama tour did not tank. Horn got heckled in England but were well received elsewhere
Get a real fan of the band who knows what they are talking about instead of some sarcastic douchebag who leaves out important facts and eras
What do you expect from rolling stone , who puts Tupac , Greenday and Madonna in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , but not ELP , King Crimson , and only recently acknowledged The Moody Blues, Deep Purple and Chicago due to bad press and public outcry ,but then again they put terrorists on their magazine cover too so fuck them. BTW Keith Emerson is the king of Prog Keys
Exactly, well said
I rate the Rolling Stone right up there with Watchmojo when it comes to facts about music. Both are fucking incompetent.
Agreed. Jann Wenner’s hatred of Yes is only surpassed by his hatred of ELP.
I adore Steve Howe. This hurt.
Yes, along with Rush, Pink Floyd, and Genesis (Peter Gabriel era), are my favorite Prog Rock Bands.
And Patrick Moraz did Relayer with them, which was one of their best albums.
Not much to talk about after "Tales" to the year 1979??? ... What? Tales didn't "suck"! Not my Favorite YES work of the 70's but that album had some nice passages and I enjoy listening to it... ... and "Relayer" was a fantastic work, and "Going For The One" may have been their best album of the 70's era. You didn't even mention that album. There are a couple of pieces on "GFTO" that might be their best "classic" compostions ever!!! .. Also, the "Talk" album of 1993 might be their best album of the "modren line up" ... Some of the work on that album is incredible! ... Not a mention of "Talk" and no mention of Peter Banks passing? You should of made it 8 minutes long and included these subjects!
Going for the one is not their best album of the 70. Maybe for you, but it is not.
@@ricardooliva4034 I meant to say some of their best work ... Not Album... I have to give it to CTTE, But "Turn Of The Century"? ... "Awakening"? ... Please!
Back in 1974 ~ I was not ready for Tales From Topographic Oceans. HOWEVER ~ due to that I have a musically open mind,......after a while it grew on me to the point of appreciating it for its' originality and creative risk of stepping out of main stream media's comfort zone. Therefore the critics will always never get it.
The guy sounds like he's 27 years old of course Tales From topographic oceans is the most phenomenal greatest album ever written based on Parma Hansa yogananda's Yogi book which millions of people love worldwide Jon Anderson lead singer did an extra tremendous job getting the band to finish that album
I burnt my copies of _Sgt Pepper_ and the White Album after hearing _Tales._
I think that any Yes fan will tell you that
Tales from Topographic Oceans is there favorite album.
It is a
I’ve been a Yes fan for a very long time. Tales isn’t even close to the top of my list. Yes album, Fragile, and Close to the Edge were all superior. And Drama is their most underrated. Absolutely magnificent album!
You forgot "Talk" which was their last great album.
Drama (the one with the Buggles) is one of my favorite Yes albums.
I also love that Album !
Tales got to number one in Britain. The bass solo on Ritual was indispensable to Prog. I can't say when I have seen someone looking happier than Squire bouncing around playing it. Some things suck really, really, well.
Tales is difficult, long, overly padded, sure. But it does NOT suck. It is beautiful and the first and last of the four sides are right up there with the best of Yes.
I very much enjoyed the Trevor Horn years... Drama is one of my favorite albums ever.
Drama is one of my favorite Yes albums.
Just discovered this album and lineup. Blew my mind.
Thank you for this. I laughed. I cried. And then I went back and listened to Union.
Relayer ? More importantly.... “Going for the One”. !!!! An excellent album with the classic “Awaken”. Tormato was good and many many fans loved “Tales from Topograghic Oceans too. Start again and do this properly.
Yes Bungles hybrid did one album, Drama, and it is excellent. It’s one of their best. And it absolutely has that Yes sound, but kinda evolved
Not one of their best, not even close. Tempus Fugit is nice though.
Trevor RabEEN ?
Hahaha
I know, right. RAY-BIN
I dont know what he has bEEN i wanna know what he is now?
I heard him say Ray-Bean.
What's with this Rabeen crap? His last name is pronounced Rabin (as in Ray bin).
Topographic Oceans is one of their best albums tbh
I gave up of this video when he talks about how Steve Howe looks...
TFTO does not suck. Side 1 is amazing.
Also, why bother mentioning Benoit Davide when Jon Davison is -- right now -- the real singer of Yes ??
Probably because this guy isn't really a Yes enthusiast and he just looked up Yes on Wikipedia. Anderson is THE voice of Yes, to be sure, but I still appreciate Horn, David, and Davison.
The Revealing Science of God has to be the most criminally underrated song in this entire genre. I’m 34 and just got into this band a year ago and when I got to TFTO it didn’t click at first. After 10 listens it became my favorite album by these guys. I’m seriously convinced the critics just phoned in their reviews and didn’t give the album a proper chance. Frustrates way more than it should. Lol
Oh, and Tales is an increible double album. You managed to play a ten second clip of the low point of the whole 90 minute album, and clearly since you love Genesis more you've got great taste...but you really missed the Topographic boat back when we were young, and had the time to sit back an absorb the albums, read the liner notes, and fire up the bong.
That wasn't the low point of the album by far.
Well, maybe not, but that's just a subjective notion. I love the album. I love all the pre-Rabin yes albums because they all have meaning to me.
Michael Hodor me too ... now where’s that bong ?
As a fanatic of Yes since attending their Close To The Edge (yessongs) tour in 1972 or 73 all I can say about this "animated breakdown" is *lmao*
In that flash forward to 1979 you missed another of their great lineups featuring keyboardist Patrick Moraz on the Relayer album.
The Yes album "Yesterdays" should probably not be forgotten here as well - just another nugget in the basket of an amazing evolution of the band, as dysfunctional as it all seems to have been. Yes changed my life in the '70's, that's all I'll remember.
What? That's a compilation album.
That's the reason why I only play Fragile and Close to the edge albums... and sometimes Magnification... and sometimes Fly from here... and sing sometimes Owner of a lonely heart just because everyone knows that song.
Best Albums they ever did were Tales of topographic oceans and Relayer. Period.
The people that listened to Tales from Topographic Oceans once or twice inattentively as background music and feel that they can form a credible opinion on an album of that magnitude are idiotic to a point that transcends the comprehensible boundaries of logical retardation. That album doesn’t even begin to start clicking until after many attentive listens. The Revealing Science of God has to be the most underrated song in the entire prog genre. And this is coming from a 34 year who just got into this band a year ago and didn’t like Tales after 1 listen. Give it time and it will be one of your favs. I promise.
What about the Patrick Moraz period?
I'm 1:18 into the video and there are two main points:
1. Why are you attacking how Steve Howe looks? Why do you think it's acceptable to attack someone based on their physical appearance?
2. You said that Banks and Kaye were both fired from the band so they could "upgrade their performers". Not true. Banks left because he felt undervalued (many of the guitar parts on 'Time and a Word' were given to the orchestra); and Kaye left because the band wanted to use more interesting synthesisers and new electronic keyboard instruments, so Kaye left believing them to be a fad (he was very wrong) and said he was a piano/organ player.
Listen to Steve Wilson’s remastering of Topographic Oceans. It sounds alive and almost a complete success.
Tales was a great album enjoyed by many.
Drama is a very underrated album!
That Ray Bean sure can play that gee-tar.
please tell me where all of this info coming from, I'm pretty sure a crossword puzzle about 80's rock has done more research about yes than you guys.
Topographic does NOT get enough love. It is criminally underrated.
The 2nd picture at 0:08 is King Crimson.......
Not trying to give this guy credit (Thought this whole thing was junk) but he was talking about betrayal when he showed the pic of Crimson. I think everyone knows Fripp stole Bill.
Bruford's leaving isn't so easy as, "Fripp Stole Him". According to an interview I heard with Bill, he was becoming more and more frustrated with the excruciating minutiae of the post-production involved in YES studio work. Between engineer Offord, Squire and Anderson experimenting with every variable on virtually every note during the mixing process, Bruford was simply bored waiting for genius technicians to assemble what all YES fans now know to be the beautiful precision of "The Yes Album", "Fragile" and finally, "Close to the Edge". Crimson was tempting and Bruford left YES for the first time. For me Bruford's is work on their very first album: "YES", is some of the most spectacular drumming in rock history.
This video is a perfect example of how to make middle aged men angry.
You missed Relayer with Patrick Moraz in 1974:)
After the 1979 "tanking" tour, they recorded Drama with that lineup, released in 1980, which is one of the best Yes albums.
They were selling out in 1979.
One of the best prog bands! Rip Chris squire!
Yes @ QPR Football Stadium-West London -1975. I was there and also saw the first ever Top-Of-The-Bill by Genesis in 1972 at Croydon Greyhound after the original main act=Bell an Arc disbanded just b4 the sunday gig....Memories...lol
what´s wrong with you! tales from topographic oceans is a masterpiece!
“Hey, I work at Rolling Stone which means I’m cool cause I drop f-bombs all the time.” Can’t wait for the day that magazine finally folds.
WTF, Tales is a great album!!!... And I never heard Trevor Rabin's last name pronounced "Ray-Bean" before!
Among the albums not mentioned in this video is "Talk" (1994). While not as commercially successful as previous albums, it is one of their finest and easily the best of the Anderson/Squire/Rabin/White/Kaye lineup.
Genesis were an excellent prog band until Gabriel left and then they just gradually melted down into Phil Collins's Motown wet dream nostalgia band.
Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford were just as if not more instrumental in moving the band in a pop direction than Collins was.
tales is the not only their best album but in my 40 years plus experience with prog rock it is the best prog album of all times followed closely by Pipers, the floyd masterpiece
Did this guy lose his job at the enquirer?
You skip Relayer??? You have no idea what you are talking about.
What about going for the one!
Absolutely. A very good iteration of the band that produced Relayer (Gates of Delirium) and Going for the One was skipped entirely in this video. To me that is THE peak Yes. On par with CTTE and much better than Fragile.
Awaken is awesome track
You forgot Patrick Moraz!! Moraz is an incredible player. I Love the Relayer Album. One of Yes' best Albums ever. I used to play D&D to that album in the 80s. LoL.
Tales from Topographic Oceans rules. Wash your mouth.
Well, the people here put in at least five minutes of research on Wikipedia.
Did Rolling Stone ever have a good thing to say about any prog band in its time? Now they are presenting an opinionated and flawed timeline of a band that they ignored and mocked. RS is more about pushing their own values than informing or letting you make up your own mind.
You forgot Talk.
Mostly right with some errors. Tales from Topographic Oceans is mostly awesome. You never mentioned Relayer or Going for The One, very important part of Yes history. Yes are better than Genesis. And Steve Howe didn't look too bad when he was younger.
Dude exactly, back then they were quite good looking.
Yes is the band in which Chris Squire served from the first day of the band, in 1968, until his passing in 2015. The band exists today with his chosen successor, Billy Sherwood, playing bass. The recently formed Yes spinoff band, ARW, is not Yes, even though they claim to be. Yes came to their current lineup through a natural progression of personnel changes over the years, whereas ARW is a new band. The current members of Yes have a combined 36 appearances on Yes albums as members of Yes. That number for ARW is 28. There can only be one legitimate Yes and, for all of these reasons, ARW is not.
That is all true, but ARW is Yes spiritually, and leagues beyond the other musically.
thekohser agree ... even the band playing now as Yes isn’t really Yes, because there is not one founding member in it !
Well u can actually. That's how the world works. If not, then u might as well start a band ur self and call it Yes. Would it be Yes? No. But it might be IF you had the majority if the name holders, as Yes does. (ARW does not.) Thats the point. @@thekohser
That's not true tho. They have Kaye. And even if they didnt, they have the majority of the name holders. (I guess the United States and the UK don't exist anymore since there are no founding members? Right?) @@aeropilot4419
They really have stood the test of time. So much talent thru all their changes and even when they turned poppy it was great. So fortunate to have grown up with these guys.
Inaccurate and trite with a commentator’s irritating voice which should be reserved for email
I liked Tales from Topographic Oceans too. And, Tormato and Drama were not mentioned. I kinda liked those albums too. But, alas, after 90125 (1982) I just gave up on them. I still find Close to the Edge my favorite album and have recently really enjoyed their earlier stuff such as the first two albums. The "America" cover song is awesome.
A video in which more time is spended insulting albums than talking about them. What a waste.
Tales From Topographic Oceans is a masterpiece.
I thought this might be o kay until he got to TOPOGRAPHIC, where I stopped watching . which if you are a YES fan or music appreciator is nowhere near " horrible". maybe some one with more listening experience or sophistication could re do this .
Tales from Topographic Oceans is my favorite album of all time.
Billy Sherwood????? Hello!!!!!!! 😠
Tales from topographic oceans and relayer are masterpieces!!! 💖🎸
This is a hilarious roast, obviously. Lower the torches and pitchforks people.
This video is a great demonstration of why youtube shouldn't have gotten rid of dislikes
