Fragile album twice since I had just bought the CD the day before the news broke of Chris, that coincidence still blows my mind. Fragile was missing from my collection from years ago.
After that, Fish Out of Water 3 or 4 times.

The Revealing Science of God.
It is a track that I listen to when I am in a spiritual place. It was nice, I drove into a lovely Midwestern US sunset as it played.

The selection was made for me. I'd first heard about Mr. Squire's death on Sunday while listening to a radio show here in L.A. on KLOS called Breakfast With the Beatles, and it was immediately saddening. After spending about an hour visiting with a nearby relative, I climbed back into my vehicle, and a KLOS d.j. was playing a string of Yes standards, beginning with Roundabout. In this same set, Long Distance Runaround was allowed to play straight into The Fish which, besides not happening often on commercial radio, I thought was a fitting tribute to Squire. The CBS Evening News Monday had a short segment on Squire's passing before a commercial break, calling it the loss of a "Yes man."

Like a lot of people, "Fish Out Of Water" was the first one I went to. I think it was the first time I'd ever heard it from start to finish, as when I got really into Yes I wasn't really won over by the whole album culture idea of playing it from start to finish. I couldn't really remember any of the tracks that well, so it was essentially a first listen, and it was a fitting sendoff (as LearsFool said).
Yesterday, I heard TFTO for the first time in over half a year. Out of all Yes' classic records, it's the one I visit least. Not because of its length, or I think that's its one of their weaker moments, but I think all the negativity I discovered after hearing it (e.g. over-pretentious, "over the edge") put me off it. No idea why, as there was a period where I listened to it about a dozen times in 2 months. So much outstanding material on there I'd forgotten about, I mean it's still one of the greatest double albums out there even if it's not entirely consistent or as well-structured. Think I'll listen to "Relayer" and "Time And A Word" today if I get time.
Nice thread by the way  |

So what was the first track that you listened to after you heard that Chris Squire had passed on?
What track did you choose to say goodbye?
My choice was probably a strange one. I went with No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed. Chris's buoyant, hyperactive bass line foreshadowed the greatness to come. |
An excellent choice sir, wonderful bass lines in that song. I went for "Yours is no disgrace".

covered all the bases if you will

Nice choices. I need to listen to some Syn.

interesting stuff.. though much of it taken from subpar sounding quality recordings.. but still.. you see the seeds of Yes for sure. It is more an musical archival document of pre-Yes, more for the history of, than pure musical enjoyment I suppose.

Me too. Felt most appropriate. Slowly(ish) making my way through the (good) Yes catelogue as well.

I actually played Picchio del Pozzo lol

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.
