Simple Question. Do you like these post Drama offerings from Yes?

Yes, I do. I don't like all of the songs on each, but they're good mainstream rock albums with flashes of prog here and there. 90125's best songs: all of Side A, plus "Cinema / Leave It" Big Generator's best songs: Rhythm of Love / Shoot High, Aim Low / Final Eyes / I'm Running

That pretty much sums it up for me. "I'm Running" is the best Rabin-era song along with "I Am Waiting" from "Talk" (Which is also a good album).

They're not that bad. They just don't interest me.

90125 I like, Big Generator I don't. The former is pretty good for what it is, and was head and shoulders above most of the hair rock it was released amongst.

90125 introduced me to Yes and remains my favorite. Talk > Big Generator, though.

90125 is one of my favourite Yes albums..  Big Generator doesn't do it for me, but Talk is pretty good.

I don't think that there is any album that I listened more to than Yes' 90125. A sensational album, nothing less!
I'm not a big fan of Big Generator, though. It has its moments, though (especially "Shoot High, Aim Low", "Love Will Find A Way" and "The Rhythm Of Love").

I used to really like 90125, nowadays I think it's good but not great. Hearts still gives me goosebumps though... Big Generator is junk. Talk is much better.

I like em, but I don't love em. 90125 is on a higher tier than Generator.

i didn't give them much of a chance when they came out - i found them too poppy and never revisited them since. maybe i should have another go

This exactly. There are only two songs out of 90125 which I really dislike, while on Big Generator the only one that does the trick for me is Shoot High, Aim Low.

more or less this; the former is more of a soft spot (among this community mainly) while the latter may be my least favorite Yes album overall from all that i have heard so far, with my least favorite on there being "I'm Running" (*everyone gasping*)

90125 is fresh well-written proggy pop/rock and I rate it quite highly. Big Generator is pretty abysmal; "Love Will Find a Way" being the only track I care for.

I like both. Like with E-Dub, 90125 introduced me to Yes, and it is still a personal favorite of mine from them. I agree with the other that have said that Talk is better than Big Generator, but I still like it well enough.

I don't listen to 90125 much, but I admit the good songs are really good, particularly "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", "It Can Happen", "Leave It" and "Hearts".

I like both quite a lot......90125 is a fantastic album. And BG has it's moments, I love Shoot High Aim Low and a few others. Question, would 90125 been different had they recorded it under the Cinema group name rather than Yes name?
