Age or minutes? :-D
At last, a thread whose (nearly) every word I agree with! The Yes Album, CTTE and Relayer, best music before 1980.
Yeah, I said that*.
BTW, has there been a tribute act called 'Yeah' yet? And if not, can I start it? And will people not confuse it for an LCD Soundsystem tribute act?
Better still, Dominique has referenced Cardiacs. Thanks to Mr. Everything 1967 (you can blame him), their output is now all mine. I haven't really gotten past Sing To God, though; that album is, and again I freely permit you to quote me on this, perhaps second only to Mansun's Six on my 90's list. If they remind you of Yes, they're both in exalted company! Myself, I'm yet to figure out whom they actually remind me of. Probably for the better that I don't, I don't want the spell broken just yet...
*As for actually talking about their actual music, I'll go into that after posting my 'big statement' (i.e. this)

I still love that story about the tour for A Trick Of The Tale where Bruford was so bored playing Collins' drum parts that he starting messing around with the time signatures.

this is jon anderson's world -- you can hear that to some extent in all the other Yes records in the 70s, and a lot of his solo stuff. I actually like it in small doses too (see "Wonderous Stories" on GftO for the smallest dose)

I've been singing the praises of Olias Of Sunhillow for a long fucking time in the face of equal parts ridicule, blankness and bewilderment. Anderson was always the heart of Yes, while Squire was the gonads, Howe the voice, Wakeman the dick and Bruford the soul.

i would also add 'Eclipse' from "And You And I" to that list.

Still don't get all the "Relayer"/Moraz love on these Yes threads. If anything, that's the most "let's fill every inch of space" constipated sounding Yes music (before the Rabin years).

xpost Yes, Jay Vee has put his finger on part of it.
I'm beginning to reconsider 90125.
