I was wondering if anyone might vote for that little-known live album, but I'm predictably Going for the One again.

You won't be voting for Tormato or Live at QPR Stadium then.

| It's time to rely on first love again when faced with such choices - I bought 'Relayer' as a 12 year old and it still blows me away. Next was 'Yessongs', a 13th birthday present... I can remember watching the QPR gig on telly and reading that the SAHB fans were duffing up the Yes fans... |

I just figured out that SAHB is the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, in case anyone else was wondering. My link to the Queen's Park Rangers gig no longer works, so maybe they're playing away.

Going for the One. Still absolutely love that album. Relayer would have been the other option had Gates been the entire album. As it is, I never did enjoy the second side a great deal, and age hasn’t changed my mind. Heresy, I know, but there we go. All of them are great, though, a magnificent cultural legacy. I still love Tormato. Having said that, quite how on Earth anyone could nominate The Quest as better than any of these classics is utterly beyond me. Almost as unbelievable as admitting to admiring Johnson’s wit and wisdom. One despairs sometimes! ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org |

^ At least we both agree on Going for the One being a favourite YES album, even if we totally disagree on The Quest album.

Voted for Yessongs, I find them much warmer and more emotional live. Also it has (almost) all the good stuff. |
