Only al qaeda would rate this a one.
Are you from al qaeda? Are you really ScottFromWyoming? Is it really your birthday today? These and many more questions to be answered in a lifetime near you.

Yes was always best for this listener when he was stone-cold sober straight.

 

This song always has me looking at Greenland and then the Hardangervidda plateau from a few kilometres in the air.

Yep - totally agree!  I think I learned to appreciate Yes more after I was out of high school. I used to buy their albums for the cool Roger Dean cover art, but never listened to the music.

I'm glad I gave them that third chance! {#Cheers}

Maybe so.  Lots of us were back then.  And I'm listening REALLY HARD this time to make sure there is an end ... maybe there isn't; I can't remember.

Sorry, even though I was in high school when Yes was at their most popular, I never could get into them.

Even many year later when I've come to appreciate classic bands such as Zepplin that I never really dug the first time around, Yes has never done anything for me.

 

While I want to give everyone their chance at expressing opinions, I do think that the above commenter needs to be banned.  Evidence your honor: "Even many year later when I've come to appreciate classic bands such as Zepplin that I never really dug the first time around."  Not embracing the musical genius, power and skill of Led Zeppelin the first time around does not sit well with me.

It's so weird how Howe became a prog rock god with that clunky style of playing. Absolutely not grunge or perfect or linear cool like Fripp. Instead it's awkward and chunky and tentative, and way way cool.

 
Yes, totally cool.  The odd time I hear a Howe-like lick in Porcupine Tree's material, it always brings a warm smile to my face.

Would only I could send you some of the Rotterdam rain we've had all of July. Doesn't seem fair.

But this is such a wonderful song, it lifts me... a true classic.
