Tormato is much maligned but I find it highly entertaining. While I was always enjoyed Starcastle's technical prowess and ability to sound like Yes, there's very little there that sounds like something new.

^ I hope you judge the albums in the poll and not the bands overall.

well Starcastle is not music I would ever waste my time on---so mediocre Yes any day of the week.

why not? What have you heard by them that made you consider them "a waste of time"? You'd probably rather listen to Abacab instead of let's say Script... ? (such a shame emoticons don't work...)

Both are decent but Yes is Yes and Starcastle is Starcastle.

I don't get it is "both" you're referring to the albums or the bands? The idea is to choose between these two albums from 1978.

Starcastle for me. I really like their first 2 releases. I like tormato too, but I fell a little disappointed with YES during that period.

it seems I messed up the years, Citadel was released in 1977. Sorry about that.

Little to choose between them IMO - both lousy. If there was ever anyone who could make me want to murder every single whale in the seven seas it's Jon Anderson. And I'm generally quite well-disposed towards whales. But Starcastle match the embarrassment factor of non-prime Yes quite effectively.

any band that mimics another band in an obvious mediocre way is funny to me---and can't really appreciate it---especially if they are no were near as interesting players---and I own and like parts of both Abacab and Script--but to each their own-

I would vote for either of the first two Starcastle albums over Tormato
but not Citadel voted Yes |

I've been a Yes fanboy since the latter half of the 80's. I bought Starcastle's debut in the mid-90's, competent, but cheezeball. Never went any further with Starcastle's catalogue. Dunno why I still hold onto their album - I spin it maybe once every few years ........

If there was no Yes, Starcastle would have had to copy some other band instead. I still laugh at their first album, and the rank plagiarism.
There's a huge difference between innovators and clones. They shouldn't be grouped together as though they're alike.
