And neither is JttCotE a rock and roll work, hardly even a "rock" one as such - unlike Yes albums. It's certainly true that salòn-kitsch "pop-classical" crossover (check Vollenweider, Ekseption, Sky, A.L. Webber, War of the Worlds, Andersson/Ulveau's Chess, Nigel Kennedy, Vanessa Mae, Dee Palmer) found main appeal with an adult audience mostly into musicals, lite crooning or entertainment music in general. There's little doubt that Journey and Myths and Legends found huge sales, but there are no records of any Wakeman release ever actually turning 15 million copies.
He made that single solid album, though - Wives. Where some contents at least remind of rock music.
