I have also tried many times but I get nothing (apart from a slight headache 😉)

Rabin era for me, oh yes!

I'm in that boat, thank god it's not Cruise to the Edge... Close to the Edge never really clicked with me beyond the title track, and I've been trying it for about 35 years. I far, far prefer The Yes Album and Fragile. And to mention an album by one not in PA by an artist that I was turned onto by a fellow poster, I far prefer Lingua Ignota's 2021 album Sinner Get Ready. I guess this sinner now should get ready to ban myself or Repent Now Confess Now. This sinner won't repent, but I will confess that were I to buy into the kind of close-minded, edgy, overrated, underrated postulating that some profess, Close to the Edge would be overrated by my reckoning, and thrown over the ledge. :)

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

If Yes broke up, that would be the end of Earth. Smile

CTTE was my first Yes album and remains my favourite too. At similar age [teens] i heard this thru a friend then backed up the catalogue then progressed onto TalesFTO. Was devouring this stuff [plus Floyd, ELP, Traffic etc] voraciously having escaped by big sis’s Tamla Motown grip. 
Too many nested IFs

Love the Yes Album and Close to the Edge but have never really taken to the disjointed feel of Fragile.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
