If there's one album title tht can explain my current emotional state it's got to be this one. How's about these events. 1.) got rear ended because some knob decided to do a three point turn in the middle of the road and forced a chain of cars to slam on their breaks, 2.) I have a horribly sick car that I've had to take the the vet twice this week, 3.) while trying to drive back to Chicago, I hit an ice patch did two 360s on a seriously busy highway and slammed into a semi, totaling my car. In a year that's already been the worst one in my life, I'm not sure if there's much more I can take. Hence fragile. And how dare you speak ill of Yes? They sound like Sunny Day Real Estate twenty something years ahead of time. Such a classic that any music fan should own.Link Removed
Sorry about your car!
ReplyDeleteI DO own this in multiple formats, & pretty much know it by heart. Whereas a lot of what I listened to in elementary school does not appeal to me anymore except in VERY small fits of nostalgia, whenever I revisit Yes's classic lps I'm pleasantly surprised by how good they really are. Odd there's so many haters.
Now ELP, that's a band to NOT revist...
Hell no, I love ELP too. They took a karate instructor on tour with them. Hence, they will always be dear to my heart. And don't forget the flaming gongs.
ReplyDeleteHm. I just can't go there anymore.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I remain loyal to early Rush, a band who has cred with absolutely NO ONE. (Except for perhaps their late-period cover album, which garnered limited cred solely because it's not Rush-like.)
What? I've got a mob of friends who are all loyal Rush devotees. Maybe I travel in better circles.
ReplyDeleteMaybe? Definitely! I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteAlso spoiled, as 'YYZ' was our big half-time number in high school. Psych!
And yes, I was in the band.
And yes, I dated (1 of our 3) Neil Peart -obsessed drummers.
More cowbell! :-)
No No No Yes. Please.
ReplyDeleteApparently these Yes records keep flying off the shelf because they promptly removed this link. Maybe Wakeman needs a new cape.
