Elton John’s Madman Across the Water is good, too.
On the subject, I vividly recall hearing “Yes” for the first time, the album was Fragile. Mood for a Day .. “That’s ONE person?” Has since then been an ambition to play that.
I’ve seen Yes perform live more times than any other band. Dating myself, No. 2 is Frank Zappa. Not a huge number of events for either. Real professionals, highly creative.
Their rendition of Simon and Garfunkle “America” is rockin’.
The irony is that Yes referenced John Lennon’s “Instant Karma” on “I’ve Seen All Good People”.
Alan White played drums on Instant Karma, and became Yes’ drummer a few years later.
“No. 2 is Frank Zappa”
I saw Frank perform 5 times. Hands down one of the greatest guitar players of all time as well as an absolutely brilliant composer.
“Watermelon In Easter Hay” is easily one of the finest guitar solos ever recorded.
