Yeah,
I was kind of expecting to get more responses from Yes fans as well, mainly in the form of abuse!
Hello and Welcome otterstew!!
I am a die hard YES fan.--You will not get abuse from me for your distaste in YES music.
I grew up listening to YES from the beginning.--I think I was drawn to them because of not "weired" sounding, but, more because of a different sound at the time(a good kind of weird)
I guess.--I know of many people who argue and fight over this.--Some like the early stuff, some like the middle stuff, and, some like the last few years stuff.--I've seen them many times during these past 30 something years.--Some shows were better than others.--I liked them all though.
I don't really know why it is called "prog".--I just like it!!!--That's why I like listening to what is here at SA!--Lots of weird, good, and different music!!!--What music tastes good to you is what matters!!
Is YES the best?----NO!!!!!---There's too many good groups out there to mention all that sound "weird"(good)!!.--Thats what seperates all of these so called "prog" bands from all of these 3 chord bands out there!!!.
It is all subjective as Jane said. -- Try "Close To The Edge" with headphones or/and loud!!!!.
If you still don't like it, you can always use it to get people to leave your house!!!!--LOL
It worked for me for years.--Until they started liking and playing it themselves!!!!--LOL
Then, they wouldn't go away!!
It's all good!!---Here especially!!------------Good evening to you!!-----Brent
