It's kind of amazing so many people are still listening to Yes music. I still love them and I recommend the House of Yes video. I can't stop playing the song Endless Dream off of the Talk album. Trevor Rabin has some serious arranging skills. Diehard Yes fans seem to despise him but that makes me like him all the more.

Yes was my favorite band in high school and college, and I'd forgotten how much I liked them until reading this thread. I lost interest after "Tormato" except for "90125". I can't remember how many times I've seen them, including the revolving stages tour and the Drama incarnation w/Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes. 3 faves: "And You and I", "Heart of the Sunrise", and "Turn of the Century".

 

(I still catch myself auditioning B3 samples with "Siberian Khatru".)

Have you heard Rundgren's "With A Twist"? I love it - it's a collection of bossa nova takes of his own hits & back catalog material ("Can We Still be Friends" and "I Saw the Light" are great). Very clever and well executed.
