A few people here either didn't understand the rules or were intentionally breaking them. Sure 8 songs for Genesis but skimp out on Yes. I'll take your prog card please. Thank you.

Good to see some of the more obscure early Yes songs make the cut. Surprised to see no one has mentioned my personal favorite - Dear Father. Even after all these years that song still touches me deeply. Symphonic Prog at its best.

I'm surprised to see a list that has wonderous stories instead of awaken but wonderous stories is actually very under rated among fans so I'm ok with that. I think because it's such a short track most yes fans have a hard time rating it very highly and yet if any other band who wasn't known for super long songs did it then it would be considered one of their best.

basically it still gives me goosebumps. The vocal harmony work in particular is fantastic but it just all works. I would never have picked Awaken although I do think its a highly original epic. Either Parallels (I love pipe organ generally and it has a great bassline) or Steve Howe's wonderful acoustic guitar work on TOTC would win out over Awaken for me. I just wish Steven Wilson would re-mix the whole thing!

Could we avoid this controversy by phrasing the title as "Make your own Yes concert"? After all; Yes literally did a tour where they play one song each from their first 10 albums in a row. Seems they didn't really care that too much for the sanctity of the album when they performed live, what with picking and choosing songs from different albums to play, playing the Close To The Edge album in reverse order on the TFTO tour, and eventually dropping The Remembering from their TFTO performances.

I love these Make Your Own Album threads where you choose your favourite songs from each of eight favourite albums. I'll have my list ready for you as soon as I've listened again to my classic YES back-catalogue.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I already made my favourite YES album and now it's time for my favourite YES concert. I'm posting the concert here because I couldn't think of anywhere else to post it without starting a whole new thread, and this IS a YES appreciation thread in all but name after all. Yours is No Disgrace if you want to skip the concert and make your own YES album instead though.

I agree. Many of my favourite albums are "Best of" compilations, and that includes Classic Yes.

This is my Yes compilation. It's a double album
DISC 1 (unaltered Close to the Edge basically): 1. Close to the Edge 2. And You and I 3. Siberian Khatru DISC 2 (Fralayer xD) 1. Gates of Delirium 2. Heart of the Sunrise 3. To Be Over Oh smokes. I didn't read the rules. So yeah, If I were to play by the rules, I simply wouldn't do a compilation at all. ;p IMO CTTE is so well balanced that taking out one song just would make it way less appealing. But, when it comes to Relayer, I just don't like Sound Chaser all that much so to me replacing it with a more exciting song with a similar duration is a good choice.
