 Topic: Best Yes related Album
Posted: January 23 2015 at 21:52 |
So here's a poll on the various works and collaborations of all important Yes members, in their mutual careers outside Yes. As you can see, there's plenty of choice, as almost all Yes members had prolific careers on their own. Also, I'll have to exclude all of Bill Buford's work with King Crimson, as I feel that would steal many votes (including mine).
Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water gets my vote, although Refugee, The Six Wives and ABWH are not far behind!

I do love One Of A Kind. Fish Out Of Water will win.

I don't have that many on the list but I do love that Refugee album which would be well up there amongst my favourite symph prog albums.

From the Witchwood is one of the finest albums ever recorded.
Not sure why Dragonfly is on the list - Wakeman's contribution was limited. Why not include Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios? Wakeman was all over that album.
Six Wives is also brilliant and - heresy - I like Asia's debut.

For some reason, I'm not allowed to vote in the poll. I'd probably give it ABWH, but Asia is a pretty close second. Then again, I admit I have listened to only a handful of those albums (despite being a massive Yes fan), so maybe it's just as well.

The answer is simple: I wasn't even aware of its existence. But I'll sure give it a listen!

Tough one! I chose From the Witchwood over Asia, Friends of Mr. Cairo and GTR. Fish out of Water is fantastic but I rarely listen to it.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Surely it's got to be ABWH... Practically a Yes album!

Me too! "definitely" Six Wives!
Patrick Moraz's "Story of i" is another gem! Poor Steve Howe, I never liked "Beginnings" at all!
We were fortunate to have a flurry of nice solo albums out of Yes back then, something that the members never really were able to recreate.
