It Is My Understanding that none of the rest of Yes sounds like "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", which is a very silly song that I nonetheless LOVE VERY MUCH. Please advise.
I am going to go cook a bunch of mushrooms and I expect a decisive, dispositive answer when I return.
Update: bleeding
@tqbf fought the mushrooms and the mushrooms won?
@bitprophet Oh, they lost, but there were casualties on the winning side.
@tqbf @bitprophet Much better than the owner of a bleeding mushroom.
@tqbf Leave It is also a silly song, but in a different way.
@tqbf you could try Big Generator. It never failed me whenever looking for something silly to move it to the left, move it to the right, move it through the night
@tqbf Yes "came back" in the '80's for reasons I don't understand 100%, other than it sounded like they just wanted to participate in some 80's shit by cutting an album with a new sound. Lot's of artists were doing that, so why not. Yes' 90125 has no congruence with albums like Fragile, and I think it confused and maybe even upset lots of the Yes/Jethro Tull-from-the-70s-loving crowd but has it's place. I liked it.
@chux0r @tqbf I am *exactly* who you are talking about, and curse myself every time I hear that damn tune because it is likable despite Yes doing their best to make me hate them - a task Asia was more than equal to. For @tqbf's benefit - Yes music is easily classified. If the LP cover could be on a sci-fi novel from the 60s or 70s, it's approachable prog. If not, approach with caution.
@tqbf 90125 (and "Owner") was written mostly by Trevor Rabin, who was new to the band. That, plus a significant use of new synth technology, gave it a really different sound than previous Yes lineups.
