TAAB has the edge for sure ------------- 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. |

TAAB. Clever cover, sly lyrics and more diverse composition musically, even though "And You and I" was the best song Yes ever made. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I've grown a bit tired of TaaB (although it's been a while since I played it now), while CttE (or any other Yes album, for that matter) I've never been a huge fan of, so no vote. Perhaps I should revisit both soon?  -------------

I like both, but both are rather flawed. I don't consider either a masterpiece and would rate them both 4*. TAAB is more consistently good - there are no bad bits and the lyrics are very clever. The track CTTE is phenomenal but side 2 doesn't match it. So I like them both pretty equally. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Hi. Hmm..."Fillers" again. Honestly this "Filler" made me to note (zoom) to long tracks with this point of view again and its change my opinion about some of them (long track or epic or ...). I think "Filler" theory! "CAN" be a good measure for analysis some tracks or songs or ...but its not work for everything!! Sometimes one song or Album may have powerful musical structure or another perfect musical elements without using "perfect fillers" or perfect using of "Fillers"!! I mean there are more important measures to analysis and review music than "Filler" but in many case you can't ignore that. "When" and "Where" are 2 good words for ranking "Filler" value in one good analysis(IMO). I really hope you understand me. Thanks.

Thick as a Brick has always been my preference between the two. Close to the Edge is definitely an essential. I just think Brick is better throughout. CttE's b-side isn't the thrill the a-side is. "And You and I" is a great track. It's "Siberian" that I have some minor issues with.  I feel like a tougher choice for me would be the epics (songs) vs. each other. "Thick as a Brick (part 1)" vs. "Thick as a Brick (part 2)" vs. "Close to the Edge (part 3-er, uh, wait..)".But the albums alone: Thick as a Brick. Not a hard choice for me. ------------- "We have grown, but there is still much to be done. Many that live in darkness that must be shown the way, for it is the dawning of a new day." |

OK, I just found a pair of flaws in your impersonation. Moshkito wouldn't so easily let something change his opinion, I believe. Nor do I think the would begin a post with an expression like "mmm"... and you missed an opinion about something related to expressing some songs as filler is just sad. Perhaps he would have said that the artist surely doesn't write material thinking to make it filler, and that it's just sad that we can't apreciate and understand what they were trying to say, etc.

In my opinion, Ian Anderson is a far better composer of songs than composer of long epics - in which Yes have no real competitor.

I'm more worried about Horizons. He doesn't like JT nor Yes. In progarchovies dot com! Is that allowed? Is there an intervention we can do?  |

JT is annoying to me and could never get into them. For Yes - dislike may be a bad choice of wording, but i certainly don't listen to them anymore. I can't sit through an album of theres anymore unfortunately, i just get tired. I used to love The Yes Album and Relayer but my tastes have evolved to the point where those albums no longer interest me or hit me as strong as they used to. If i listen to any Yes song it's prolly going to be Heart of the Sunrise or something off of Time and a Word. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

I should be more precise - in 70s symphonic prog there is no one band which can be in the same contest with Yes regarding the long epics. Toward your hatred for Jethro Tull & dislike Yes, I can only laugh on it, because it's something like to be a member of a metal forum and to hate e.g. Iron Maiden. |

^ Ian Anderson says Thick As A Brick was a hoax concept album. In the favour of that hoax, Ian Anderson was created an extenteded version of the song which normally would be, say, four times shorter. Of course that he added some nice melodies; how else to stretch a song like a chewing gum?
That's the reason why for me that shortened version from Bursting Out sounds far better than that long hoax what Thick As A Brick is. TAAB's album jacket's design is a nice black & white stuff but it was also created in the favour of that hoax. So in my opinion, TAAB as a hoax album, as a parody on our beloved genre, could not be better than that grandiose prog symphony what Close to the Edge really is - packaged in Roger Dean's masterpiece. |

The fact that TAAB is a hoax album makes it all that much more awesome. But you're correct; in comparison to CTTE, it's really an easy choice here. ------------- "A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?" |

I love Genesis, including their quality pop era. Classic era bands that tickle my fancy are VdGG, Camel, Can and pretty much any Canterbury. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |
Posted By: dr wu23
Date Posted: August 31 2014 at 13:09
I have never really understood the love for the so-called 'quality pop era' of Genesis by prog rock fans.
IMHO those tracks with Collins are just ok and not something with any major impact.
I really like the Canterbury period bands also but I have always had a love/hate relationship with VDGG and GG.; some great tracks by both bands but also many difficult songs that seem to be more about being clever than being 'musical'.
For me earlier and some later Tull are the more interesting and entertaining albums. TAAB has some nice bits here and there but I find it tedious as a whole. CTTE hangs together better for me overall but if one is not much of a Yes fan then it can also feel overwrought I suppose. I tend to play The Yes album and Fragile more. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

TAAB is not a "hoax" and I defy you to supply a quote using that word. As a satire it is superb, parodizing small-town newspapers and the small-minded who run the town with a Monty Pythonesque bite, and the lyrics are far and away better than Jon Anderson's new age repetitive mush. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I love both but TAAB slightly more. I understand CttE is considered by many progrock fans as a base of the genre record. Maybe yes (it was my first ever Yes record I've heard a lot of years ago and title song and And You And I are great; Siberian Khathru leaves me a little bit cold on the other side :-) ) but I like other Yes records more... I thought I won't vote here but I changed my mind and my vote goes to JT. -------------

Actually, I guess it would be much easier to find a fan of Metal music who would end up disliking Iron Maiden, than a fan of prog who would dislike Yes. Specially, there are many extreme Metal fans who seem to be proud about disliking bands such as Iron Maiden and Metallica and dismiss them as too soft, or pop, or whatever may fancy them in order to appear tougher and with stronger tastes (well, there are those around here that would dismiss the classic prog giants for not being innovative enough, or virtuos enough, or whatever may fancy them). |

I also like much better the live version on Bursting Out of Thick as a Brick. It's got just about all the wonderful parts from side one, and left out the parts where the song strated to drag too long. The only thing is that there are near 10 more minutes of wonderful music that are missing if you don't have the studio album. |

I reckon Yes were best from 1969-1971. CTTE is similar quality but you can see the cracks coming through on this album which were more noticeable on the next 2 albums. The cracks I mention are the bit of filler across the longer length songs from 1972-74 even though there is plenty of pretty good music in between. But I find each album weakened as the years went by between 72 and 74. ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's.

Absolutely!  That's the thing, though; sometimes I'm in the mood for the studio version. When I'm working in Photoshop or something, the longness is just perfect. Yes is always, perfect, though.

For many years this would have been an absolute walkover for CTTE. However I am (after 30 years ) developing a real affinity for TAAB so this is much closer than it once was. The vote is still for Yes for the time being put post this poll again next year (surely somebody will ) and the answer might be different.........

Hey, I'm really sorry, just, because of a few details on the way you posted, it seemed to me that you were fooling around imitating Moshkito, and I tried to join in the fooling around. I meant absolutley no offense towards you nor towards Moshkito (and actually I NEVER post anything with the intention of offending anyone), and I'm really sorry if either of you took it the wrong way (even though I rather doubt Moshkito even saw this posts). Now this is what happens to me for assuming things wrongly

Thank you Dellinger. Honestly my English is not good and sometimes its make me mistake.Few days before octopus wrote a comment about mike oldfield's Tubular Bells and use "Fillers" word in long tracks or epic or... and I saw this for first time. I like this "Filler" and after that I listened to some of long tracks or epics again with "Filler" poin of view and ..... This is all about fillers. I don't want to waste your time and I hope you understand me. I care about PA members and I don't want to disturb any one in PA forum. Perhaps sometimes we discuss hard about our opinion and attack to each other but this is about music. Thank you again my friend.

Is there a better masterpiece than CTTE? I have not heard any yet… Granted, some get extremely close. But still, they did not surpass the stunning creation by Yes that is Close to the Edge. |
Posted By: The Bearded Bard
Date Posted: September 03 2014 at 12:52
Not much between them, as far as I'm concerned, but I'm more acquainted with TaaB, so it gets my vote. Although I consider both masterpieces, none of them are what I consider the pinnacle of the prog genre. A Passion Play or Red on the other hand... -------------

I agree 100% Cosmic---this is new musical sound that is like no other---and sounds fresh today after all these years--that can not be said for the albums on that list. But to each their own.

I reckon half the people in here are brainwashed. To say those albums don't come close. There's nothing between them. Lots of great composing and musicianship on each of those albums. I just think there is less filler on the albums I listed. ------------- 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. |

No, I was not brainwashed to think that CttE is better than the albums I know from the list. I've just heard them and don't like them as much, which is my personal opinion, just as it's yours to like those albums better. I could come with a list of my own from albums that I like better, or at least just about the same (yeah, I guess about the same would be more acurate, since CttE is already at the top of my favs). To begin with, Fragile from themselves is very close to it already. From Rick Wakeman I would put Six Wives and Arthur. From King Crimson I very easily go with the debut over Poseidon. Poseidon for me sounds like a less inspired attempt at repeating the formula from the first album, and in every equivalent part of the album I prefer the one from the debut. From Pink Floyd I can go with Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, and Division Bell. Inferno from Metamorfosi. Hamburger Concerto from Focus. Mirage from Camel (over Moonmadness). Script from a Jesters Tear from Marillion. Hybris from Anglagard. The Whirwind from Transatlantic. The Raven that Refused to Sing, from Steven Wilson. And I'm missing some other albums that I could put here. |

| CTTE is one of my favorite symphonic "prog" albums, although not the most favorite. As for the TAAB, I get the concept and appreciate the humor, but do not like what's going on after the title song. |
