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.

Raff put on Gates of Delirum (Relayer) then I took over CD player duty and played his solo album, the jazz album of Eddie Harris he played on, and the finally the Original Syn CD.

covered all the bases if you will

I too spun Fish Out of Water, nice little album. I don't listen to it the most often, unlike my Yes albums, and it seemed a fitting sendoff.

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.

Me too. Felt most appropriate.

Slowly(ish) making my way through the (good) Yes catelogue as well.

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.

Heart of The Sunrise - while playing along on bass - no question!

An excellent choice sir, wonderful bass lines in that song. I went for "Yours is no disgrace".

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 Thumbs Up
