    Great song, and they definitely had the sartorial style.

    Yes

    Yes, that has always seemed ludicrous to me. To see mundane artists from Joan Jett to Abba to Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps to some of the gangsta rap dudes inducted and groups like the ones you mention, Genesis, and the Moody Blues ignored. Definite systematic bias at work. And Yes should have been the first, so hopefully the floodgates open now.

    I think in that song the lyrics are meant to be musical, they SOUND really good in the flow of that recording. And on whole, they have some pretty interesting threads. R.E.M. took the same approach in their early albums ("Cuyahoga" being a prime example). Worked/works for me. "Heart Of The Sunrise" Love comes to you and you follow Lose one on to the Heart of the Sunrise SHARP-DISTANCE How can the wind with its arms all around me Lost on a wave and then after Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise SHARP-DISTANCE How can the wind with so many around me lost in the city Lost in their eyes as you hurry by Counting the broken ties they decide Love comes to you and then after Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise SHARP-DISTANCE How can the wind with its arms all around me SHARP-DISTANCE How can the wind with so many around me I feel lost in the city Lost in their eyes as you hurry by Counting the broken ties they decided Straight light moving and removing SHARPNESS of the colour sun shine Straight light searching all the meanings of the song Long last treatment of the telling that relates to all the words sung Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you Love comes to you and then after Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise SHARP-DISTANCE How can the sun with its arms all around me SHARP-DISTANCE How can the wind with so many around me I feel lost in the city

    Makes me think of the old Ray Davies lyric: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood BoulevardSome that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard ofPeople who worked and suffered and struggled for fameSome who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

    We can meet up at the restaurant at the end of the universe to see how it works out.

    Yes

    Yeah, Banks must have really ticked off some of the other guys early on, as he has sort of totally been excised from the history of the band. I really enjoyed his contributions to the early albums, as well as Kaye's. While I wouldn't replace Howe or Wakeman with them, I didn't really sense any great musical need to replace either of them. I admit they would have been a very different group had those changes not been made, but I think it would have still been something really good. I utterly enjoy the Flash and Badger albums, almost right up there with the Yes albums. The 'Time and a Word' debacle must have taken a terrible toll on the group dynamics, the same way 'Ceremony' disaster did on Spooky Tooth. And had that group followed up 'Spooky Two' with something equally great, we might talk about them a lot more today than we do. At least Wright and Harrison got it patched up later on, unlike Yes with Banks. The Montreux concert from 2003 is great, atmosphere and music come together beautifully. Love Montreux concert vibes in general, have DVD's of everyone from Chic to Yes to Suzanne Vega to Van Morrison to Charles Mingus.

    'Yes', 'The Yes Album', 'Fragile', 'Close To The Edge', and 'Yessongs' all have places in my heart, and I have gotten plenty of enjoyment from later material. Watching the 'Live at Montreux' video really nailed for me how, as previously mentioned, Squires' bass playing drove the whole thing. I still get chills hearing "Heart of the Sunrise" and some other material of that vintage. The box set is a great deal BTW.
  9. Wow, what a rhythm section and interesting history, yet I have never heard of Lewis before this! I have a nice sleeper CD by Ron Kobayahi, another musician who I have otherwise never heard of.
  10. and to track 13. Here is a link to Cowsill's exquisite "Crescent City Snow", about the recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
  11. Yep, sure is, excellent sleuthing!. I think she's great. That should give you good clues into the other bonus question.
  12. I find it embarrassing to listen to 69 year old Gregg Rolie coming on like a horny 19 year old in "Shake It" and "Anywhere You Want to Go", but the album sounds great in the background, and everyone plays really well.
  13. Yessir Very good album as long as you don't really listen to the lyrics. Summary: No ID on cuts 1,5,10,13 Partial ID on cuts 3,7. . Full ID's made on cuts 2,4,6,8,9,11,12.
  14. We do have compatible tastes, which I am thankful for. You scored big points with me when you ID'd Charles Sullivan's "Genesis" on my first-ever BFT!
  15. Looking for interesting trade of equivalent value. Please IM if interested;
  16. Don't sleep in 'Lotus', the 3CD live set with the 'Welcome' band. I paid big bucks for the Japanese import vinyl in the 70's and didn't regret it, then also bought the 2CD set when it came out in the 90's.
  17. Yes! A recent discovery for me, and I want to hear more of her. Recommendations sought.
  18. All of your statements are correct. Someone will figure this out soon enough given your clues.
  19. Keeping track: No ID on cuts 1,5,7.10,13 Partial ID on cuts 3,9. . Full ID's made on cuts 2,4,6,8,11,12.
  20. Yes indeed, good job. Anyone else for further ID on this track?
  21. This one was an utter desicration:
