Western Culture. Not a fan of Drama at all.

This is a pretty surprising development. The Cow in the lead?.......against a Yes offering
Holy smokes!


Now let's see how long that lasts

That is quite a change. My guess as to why this has happened has to do with a worldwide drink-spiking conspiracy. Folks who used to listen to the likes of Renaissance's Camera Camera and Suonare Suonare by PFM are now feasting on Faust and The Taj Mahal Travellers.
Good times.

in 10 years this site will be a Rio-Avant hang-out... mark my words.  We will have successfully put SWilson out of his misery.. thus his fans move on ... and the forum will be ours again.  Then again.. we did exterminate DT and their fanclub..  we will eventually do the same to SWilson and his fans.. but who will be the next 'flavor of the month'  hmmm...  at some point Prog will die off.. and along with them 'prog fan'.. then we can get to business on the edgy interesting.. .progressive.. music out there.

Perhaps in 10 years the forum will be overrun with Alec K. Redfearn fans!!! LOL

Cow is musicians music. Its for those souls with the ability to listen to this and really get into it, yes, but essentially its for the players themselves. I'm afraid that for me its just a bit too hard to get my old fart's ears around anymore. Guess I've gotten older and fatter and lazier, well at least my ears have. Of course it will still be played in ten years time but to the same souls who would probably claim that Keith Jarret has become overly commercial. Smile  

Drama is for me about the only post CTTE (or maybe Relayer) Yes album that I even vaguely enjoy but then again I really liked the Buggles. It was such a gloriously cynical effort, particularly Age of Plastic.  Drama feels much the same to me. Prog rock by numbers. Saved only by the ability of the members to put two and two together in a very appealing manner. Quite the foot tapper really but it is well played and sung though at the end of the day a tadge shallow.

I prefer Drama. In my opinion, it's one of Yes' most underrated records

Yes, Drama.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Big Yes fan, even big Buggles fan (how 'bout that, y'all ) but Drama is, although very good, not one of my top favorite albums.
The Cow album is something very special, so ride 'em in mooooove 'em out with that cow. Vote for Henry.
