I had a big problem with Yes for many years until I got to see them live in 1996 ,then I started liking them.I'm completely baffled though as to why anyone would not like ITCOTCK.The only bad thing is the drum sound but everything else is ''WOW'' for me.

I will Ghandi!  My copy of ItCotCK is a copy and I don't have CttE!

I agree about Red, that isn't that great a track, in my opinion, it kind of ruins the whole of the album for me.  The Night Watch is a great tune and Starless and Bible Black as an album is great.

I don't have any Yes though.

Surely if you really disliked those albums, they wouldn't still be in "perfect condition" ?!

 

I'm gonna duck now....

Yeah, that happens sometimes. Don't fret, there are plenty of other prog bands around.

Marillion's about the only one of the bigger bands that I think is horrible.

Like who you want to like and dislike who you want to dislike. Afterall, it is yourself who has to be happy with the music. Personally, Yes isn't my cup of tea either, although I have grown to like them a little.

I officially give up on Yes. I've listened to CTTE at least 12 times, and I don't like it! I'm never going to like it; I hate it more and more every listen. Yes, the first 4 minutes of it are good, the last few minutes of CTTE are good, and parts of And You And I and Siberian Khatru are good, but the rest of it seems to me to be a whole lot of boring nothing. And I'm sorry, but the lyrics make me SO ANGRY! Use complete sentences, damn you! They're so incredibly bad, and I can't ignore them, no matter how hard I try. So I'm no longer going to waste my time putting myself through torment. Relayer=Yes' best album, and perhaps only good album.Evil Smile *ducks*
 
I also officially give up on King Crimson. I don't like ITCOTCK; it's not that good; and like CTTE, I will never understand why it is so universally heralded as such an amazing album. Simply because it's first does not make it the best, or even good. (although Schizoid Man is good.) I've even listened to  what is supposed to be their best song, LTIA pt. 2. All I hear is several power cords repeated on a guitar many, many times; and some cool violin playing, except that Cross is playing the same thing over and over again. And I listened to the song Red, which is also too repetive. But I like The Night Watch.
 
It's weird that I find Yes boring since I love all of pre-Wall Pink Floyd, which a lot of people here seem to find boring. I'm not a big fan of Jon's voice, and I can't listen to Rush because of Geddy (although overall I think I would rate them higher than Yes); but I just bought H to He, Who Am the Only One.

BTW, does anyone want a perfect condition copy of CTTE and/or ITCOTCK? :-)
