Hold Out Your Hand came up on shuffle this afternoon, and I was thinking about how much I have enjoyed Fish over the years.

Comparing with Sixwives is apples and oranges, and I consider it to be the greatest keyboard album.

I'm absolutely hooked by Squire's exceptional album but love Wakeman, too.

Meh on the Anderson pick. Like the other 4 tracks. Going with Bruford, although Squire has the best album.

I still think that Fish Out Of Water is the best solo album from one YES member.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

So Long Ago So Clear is from Vangelis' album Heaven and Hell. For me, that's the best Jon Anderson tune outside of Yes; never could get into Olias, and even though I'm a massive Vangelis fan, I never cared for Jon & Vangelis' albums.

The song is listed as Jon & Vangelis on some sites, my bad for doubting you, but the internet was not much help either. LOL

I could not get into Olias either, TBH nice to see i'm not the only one. Smile

Wouldn't call Bruford's "radio-friendly"... so it gets my vote! Squire a close second, great album. My favorite off that one is Silently Falling, but I prefer to listen to side one all together, as intended.

Steve's vocal part in this song is so brief, I don't mind it at all.

EDIT:
Ahhhh wtf, I didn't notice that the multiple votes were allowed here and accidentally voted for All's a Chord twice. 🤣 Excuse me!
