Ah. those were the days. My problem is, once a taste for YES was acquired, nothing else was listenable to me.. I played keyboards in a couple of bands, started playing when I was 5, and can't tell you how difficult life was when the likes of Wakeman was the standard below which I couldn't go. What a group. Tales of Topographic Oceans.

And TFTO is tied for second favorite YES LP with Fragile-Close To The Edge is always first. Just perfect.

Did you know that Tony Kaye, the original Yes keyboardist, was a longtime FReeper??
