Same for me - great taste Finnforest  - but I've never heard Astral Traveller before. Very hard to decide though if Perpetual Change or Machine Messiah is the best one, both the best of their respective albums.------------- |

| Machine Messiah mostly, I'm not really fond of the other ones. Second choice would have to be "To be over", though... that one has some really wonderful melodies, but at some point it drags for a bit too long. I much prefer the instrumental shorter versions Steve Howe did later on, in which the main melody was taken all by the acoustic guitar. |

I prefer the acoustic versions of To Be Over mostly because you keep the wonderful melody and lose the very lame lyrics... My order: Machine Messiah Perpetual Change To Be Over On the Silent Wings of Freedom Astral Traveller

It's been so long since I last span any Yes (apart from The Yes Album), so the only one I remember out of these is Perpetual Change, which, incidentally, happens to be a fave of mine. So: Perpetual Change ? ? ? ?   ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Those two are from Tales though right? Sneaky man If my memory serves me well, that album has improved with every new spin...even if there is something like a year in between each listen.I could of course just listen to the tunes offered up in this little joust of Darryl's Nah..you know what? I'm going to transfer Tales over to my iPod for closer inspection. Who knows, maybe I'll love it. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I'll see if I can find the cd somewhere in my music wilderness. Everything is jumbled together...even more so than usual (I just moved out of my apartment and chaos prevails).

Yeah, missing the vocals actually helps this versions... even if I do mostly love Anderson's singing, and I haven't really paid much attention to the lyrics, so I wouldn't say that I find them lame. And in general the melody sounds more focused and doesn't drag for so long alternating between guitars, keyboards and vocals. |

To Be Over On the Silent Wings of Freedom Perpetual Change Machine Messiah Astral Traveller Actually this was very tight; all these have good Yes quality, but then I'd count none of these among my Yes favourites. To Be Over is something special in the Yes catalog, and it's an essential (though not the best) part of my fav Yes album, so it wins by some distance; the other four are pretty much on one level. |

Pretty even songs except for astral which is a bit off the pace ------------- 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. |
