because I think making a pretend-album is enjoyable but I struggled to decide on which The Beatles-tracks and I simply didn't have eight favorites from eight different Yes-albums - and knew it would be a nice, but difficult challenge with this great band:

A
Giant (St)
Pantagruel's Nativety (AtT)
Schooldays (TF)
Give it Back (I)

B
Proclamation (TPatG)
An Inmates Lullaby (IaGH)
On Reflection (FH)
Advent of Panurge (O)

I'm probably alone in choosing A4 and B2. But wow five stars from me to me (and GG) - but then again how could it not be.

^ Nice to see people are digging the whole "Make Your Own ---- Album" thing. 
I don't really know enough GG to do this one but I will be checking in to see what songs other people pick.

Isn't It Quiet And Cold?
Mr Class And Quality
A Cry For Everyone
Cogs In Cogs

Mobile
I Lost My Head
For Nobody
Inside Out

For me....nothing from Acquiring The Taste (I know, I'm in the minority) and Giant For A Day (for obvious reasons).
