I love that version of SK. I especially love the classical intro. It fits perfectly. I just wish they'd included more of it on the album.


I'm more of a live fan myself. If they do it right like SB. AWESOME intro, mid, and solo. Forgive me...I'm still drunk I think. :lol:

Whereas I LOVE Big Generator and Talk. Yes took a huge backward step in the late 80s and by the time they returned to their senses in the early 1990s and allowed Trevor Rabin to take control again they'd lost momentum.... :)


"Big Generator" was a snoozefest, in my opinion. Yuck! As far as Yes studio albums go, it's last on my list...

  1. Fragile
  2. Going for the One
  3. Close to the Edge
  4. The Yes Album
  5. Keystudio
  6. Relayer
  7. 90125
  8. Magnification
  9. Drama
  10. Tales from Topographic Oceans
  11. Tormato
  12. The Ladder
  13. Talk
  14. Yes
  15. ABWH
  16. Union
  17. Open Your Eyes
  18. Time and a Word
  19. Big Generator



Are you mad? Big Generator was the best progressive album of the 1980s. Sure, they had a couple of AOR numbers on there but even they were superb. The God-like Trevor Rabin was on fire on that album. Great stuff.

Okay my favourites by far:

1) Relayer
2) 90125
3) Going For The One
4) Big Generator
5) Fragile
6) Yes Album
7) Talk

...and I like the others about the same...except Drama which was a terrible mistake. I thought the idiocy of trying to replace Perry was bad but THIS?

By the way...I saw Chris Squire in my local supermarket the other day. He was being nagged by his wife so I didn't feel it was the right time to pay my respects. And I did feel most unworthy.... :)

Possibly even the best, don't you think, Liam ? I guess Geddy Lee edges it but not by much....

I prefer Geddy but Squire is certainly an awesome player, one of those that can play what's considered a rhythm instrument as a lead instrument.

Believe me...he doesn't look nearly as comfortable with a shopping basket in his hand...the guy looked overwhelmed by it all....

He's a pretty big guy, isn't he? He could probably wield that thing as a fairly formidable weapon. :lol:

Yes - much bigger than I expected - although there's no way he's going to misbehave when the wife's around. She's got him well trained. :)
