90125

This is my first review on this site. Excuse my poor English, helped by Google translation ;-) Obviously, the recent death of Chris Squire prompted me to write here. I was 16 when 90125 was published. I immediately loved "owner of lonely heart", when I saw the clip on TV. I bought the album and have listened loop for weeks. Initially, I was an exclusive fan of the Beatles, which made me love rock music. Gradually, I enjoyed other groups: Supertramp, Queen, u2,... I listen for almost 30 years that almost prog. When he saw I like Yes, my cousin, older than 5 years, then played me "close to the edge" and "selling england by the pound". I did not understand and appreciate this complicated music. You do not become a fan of prog rock overnight. It's a long way of gradually musical discoveries. Obviously, for me today, these two albums are gems. But 90125 is the album that sowed the seeds of prog in me. Today, when I listen to this album, I find it poor and I quickly bored. Certainly, it is good pop, but just pop. But I do not forget that without this album, I certainly not be here to write these words.

RIP Chris
