Odd, but I'll probably buy it just to get Rickrolled on "Owner of a Lonely Heart."

Odd, but I'll probably buy it just to get Rickrolled on "Owner of a Lonely Heart."
Not terribly surprised that they dropped a new song after the warm-up show. As a legacy band, Yes is surely aware that most concertgoers are there to hear the back catalog. It doesn't make sense to...
Have you tried using a VPN as a workaround until you can get things sorted out with your ISP? I don't know if it would work, but it's worth a try.
Wow, that's really good! Pity it couldn't have been part of the ARW album we never got.
If memory serves, his full name is Jordan Ian Farquharson.
He singles himself out for being such an ass. He was banned from this forum, to give you an idea. I only mentioned him because I remember how disruptive he was here and was flabbergasted that he, of...
He goes by Jordan Ian on Facebook.
It's just called "Progressive Rock." He uses the Tarkus cover as the banner for the group. I can't provide a link since he's banned and blocked me.
Same here. Although I do love "Speaking in Lampblack" from the s/t 2012 album. Looking forward to the new material regardless.
I wonder why Ramsey and Hyatt left? To my knowledge, no one has ever...
Yeah, that's the group, all right. His moderation seems to consist mostly of policing what is and is not "prog" in his mind, and his yardstick appears to be whatever Wikipedia says.
Other than...
We used to be Facebook friends, but from what I could tell she disappeared off social media a few years ago. Last I knew, she'd gone home to Alaska after bouncing around the West Coast. She seemed...
Wow, that's some low-energy stuff. I don't mind that RW wanted to redo the album for whatever reasons he came up with, and he and I are generally on the same political wavelength. But while I'll...
Agreed. Remarkably boring.
I think of it this way. If I'd never heard of Yes before and picked up Mirror to the Sky, there's nothing on it that would make me want to delve deeper into the band's catalog. 90125, which is where...
I'm sure no one has either missed me or even knew who I was, but I was inspired to come back here after joining a prog-rock group on Facebook that I discovered, to both my horror and amusement, is...
I suppose that makes sense. Similar to what King Crimson did when they added sub-movements to the songs on their debut, so they could claim more money on the publishing royalties. Everything comes...
What does he mean that they divided the songs into separate tracks "to be able to handle all mixes"? I don't follow.
90125. It turned me into a Yes fan, and then into a prog fan. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" has what is still one of my all-time favorite guitar solos.
I'd never heard of Yes or Asia when either album...
S&G's "America" by Yes, as already mentioned.
When it comes to Johnny Cash, everyone thinks of "Hurt." But I was blown away by his cover of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage."
...
I don't post much here anymore, because I really don't have anything useful to contribute. But I love this forum. I've discovered lots of artists thanks to this place. Yeah, you can find out about...
Man ... "Gates" is my favorite Yessong, but I thought it sounded weak back on "Yes Symphonic," and they've only aged and slowed down since then. I'd love to see it performed one more time, but I'm...
Fripp/Eno - No Pussyfooting, side 1
Yep. Whenever in doubt, consider how poorly the "warning" is written. It will rarely steer you wrong.
First one I thought of was "Hey Jude."
One of my best concert memories involves Neil. He was playing the HORDE festival, sometime back in the '90s. I think the show was somewhere around Chicago. Neil was the headliner. He was playing in a...
I can't remember anymore when I first heard Neil, but I connected with his music when "Freedom" came out. After his creative dip in the early '80s, he came back really strong on the string of records...
My wife's favorite from my collection seems to be IQ. There are bits of Pink Floyd she likes (especially "Shine On" and "Wish You Were Here"), along with some Spock's and Transatlantic. She's not...
We have a 5-year-old who loves movies. I don't know if these are the "best" among Beatles covers, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear fresh takes on a couple of Beatles songs in recent films.
...
Pretty much my attitude. I don't understand why it's so important to so many people. It's not going to make me love their music any more than I do, and no one needs Jann Wenner's validation anyway....
Trevor looked very pale at the Seattle show. I read that he'd been ill. You would have never known it from his performance, though -- he sounded great. It would have been nice to hear "Changes," but...
I went to the Seattle show. Trevor had one vocal flub that I noticed, and Jon's voice cracked on "Heart of the Sunrise." Other than that, it was a nearly flawless performance. Seeing Lee Pomeroy...
I could imagine a situation where Peart provides the lyrics for a Lee-Lifeson project that includes other musicians. Maybe another singer who could hit the high notes Geddy can't reach anymore, a...

4-7 could change from day to day. I really only ever listen to Moving Pictures for the top 3.
^ I can certainly appreciate that. Because, yeah, these tickets are not cheap.
But I'm a huge Trevor Rabin fan, so I don't see any way possible they'll come up with a setlist that would disappoint...
^ Just giving you a hard time, Sean. :) It's going to be almost impossible to avoid setlist talk, between here and Facebook. I'll be pleased if I can make it to the show with any surprises in store,...
Oh, man. I'm not seeing ARW till the last night of the U.S. tour in Portland. I'm hoping I can be surprised by the setlist, but it'll mean resisting the temptation to peek in here for almost two...
I remember Neal Morse saying that "All on a Sunday" got radio play in Germany. Why Germany, and why that song, I have no idea!
County Fair of Heaven
Arrivin' Flyin' Saucer
The Fish Fry

And the two-part suite:

Sounds great. Could easily have worked for the next Transatlantic project, based on what the clip sounds like. I think I'm a few albums behind on NM's solo output, but I think I'll be getting this...
Same here. "Owner" came out when I was 12. "Mr. Roboto" was a big favorite for me back then. :)
I think so, yes. I've had the same thought.
:lol
^ I still love that song! It's the one that introduced me to Yes. Rabin's bit is still one of my all-time favorite guitar solos. It's still probably in my top 25 Yes songs. :)

^ Isn't that the truth! :lol
^ Yeah, I also excluded ABWH.
From Drama onward. Just for fun, and in contrast to the "best of the '70s" thread. Curious to see if any tracks consistently bubble to the surface. There's obviously not the same kind of consensus...
^ Great points. I agree completely with every word. My best friend and I would have video-game marathons during sleepovers, but the next morning we'd be out riding our bikes or playing ball or...
Transatlantic did that with a hidden track at the end of the Whirlwind bonus disc.

I feel much the same, and I think our perceptions have to do with when we discovered the band. I found them in the '80s as well, and I'm sure that colored my perceptions of them. To me they were a...
He sang on "Moth of Many Flames," a bonus track on the Feel Euphoria super-deluxe-whatever release. :) If he's sung on any others, I don't know about it -- I haven't listened to much SB since then.
I was born in '71, right about in the middle of what is demographically considered Gen X. I have some good memories of the early '80s, in terms of the music coming out from '80 to '84 or so, and my...
Not a bad list, except I question "Silent Wings."
Mine would be something like this. Hard to limit it to just 10!
Close to the Edge
The Gates of Delirium
Heart of the Sunrise

Chris Squire on "Can You Imagine."
Animal Logic.
Sophisticated, clever, well-written pop songs -- not quite to the level of Steely Dan, but that rhythm section of Stewart Copeland and Stanley Clarke was pretty special. And Deborah...
At the end of that "Indiscipline" clip a few pages back, he says that what he played was a drum solo without being a drum solo, and hopefully an intelligent deployment of the drums. I think that's a...
So it's Lee Pomeroy and Lou Molino, then. This is going to be a top-notch band. I figured we'd get Molino but really didn't know whom to expect on bass.
It was the first studio album from the "Classic" era that I heard after discovering Yes in late '83. So I have a bit of a soft spot for it. But I can also understand why those who'd been along for...
I truly believe this to be the case. Different century, same bread and circuses.
Same here. Would love it if they could make it to the West Coast.
Wow, that's really nice!
