 (5 Customer Reviews)
With songs that often rival classical music for length and sheer ambition, Yes is not a group whose work can easily be distilled to a single-length compact disc. However, for those looking to skim off the cream off a long and distinguished career, ... Full DescriptionTHE VERY BEST OF YES will do the trick, although it may well serve to whet the appetite for more.
This collection is arranged chronologically, beginning with "Survival" off the group's self-titled debut record and finishing with its last certifiable hit, "Rhythm of Love." Although it does not present a complete picture of the group's progress, the collection does chronicle Yes's major phases. Like many bands of the late '60s, Yes began writing songs that echoed the love ethos of the era ("Time and a Word") before graduating to full-fledged space rock on songs like "Starship Trooper." During its golden age, Yes had FM radio hits ("Roundabout," "I've Seen All Good People"), and during the mid- to late '70s, the group continued to refine its approach with fine compositions like the melodious "Wondrous Stories" and the raucous "Going for the One." The surprising #1 hit, "Owner of a Lonely Heart" captures the group in its more stripped-down '80s incarnation.
Recorded between 1969 to 1987.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Engineers include: Gerald Chevin, Eddie Offord, John Timperley. Hide Description Very Best Of Yes Music Review Average Rating: (2.6 out of 5 stars)   Another packaged bunch of songs...
BUT, this one has some of the better (later) stuff.... Missing out on the real early stuff. Not enough of a mixture.

 Good for casual fans or beginners
This would be a very good CD for those who know a few Yes songs and want a greatest hits or 'best of.' A more seriuos probably own a at least a few of their albums and would be better off skipping this for a box set or one of the live CDs. Just a question for drummessiah88: Is there medication for your condition?

Go Flying High Above!
Lighten up you crazed Yes heads. If you want all the best of Yes, buy a box. This is a single CD so get real. The very best is here - Roundabout, Wondrous Stories, Owner of A Lonely Heart, Time and A Word, Long Distance Runaround, and, of course, the magnum opus, Starship Trooper! As for Leave It, I would leave it out, but that's why you get a remote with your stereo. Just say Yes to this record.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  a disappointing selection
My "Very Best Of Yes" would have to include
_Sweet Dreams_ or _I See You_ or _Looking Around_ or _Astral Traveller_ or _Then_;
_Yours Is No Disgrace_ or _Perpetual Change_;
_South Side Of The Sky_ or _Heart Of The Sunrise_;
_Close To The Edge_ or _Siberian Khatru_;
_Gates Of Delirium_.
not one of these songs appeared on this collection, so i give it 1 star for the choices, 5 stars for the band :)

This special limited edition release of THICK AS A BRICK - 25TH ANNIVERSARY contains one previously unreleased live track and interviews with Ian Anderson, Martin Barre and Jeffrey Hammond.
This edition of THICK AS A BRICK contains a bonus live track and interview.
While never as high-minded or technically facile as the likes of Yes or ELP, Tull began incorporating complex time changes, sophisticated harmonic structures, and highly developed lyrical themes on THICK AS A BRICK, the realization of the artistic growth begun on AQUALUNG. It is here that Tull finally bursts into full-blown prog-rock mode. While AQUALUNG was a group of discrete compositions united by a theme, THICK AS A BRICK consists of one extended piece that occupies the length of the album.
Lyrically, Anderson's intentions are ...

Recorded between 1969 & 2003. Includes liner notes by Chris Welch.
For a band with outsized ambitions like those of prog-rock pioneers Yes, it makes sense to release an anthology that spreads itself out grandly over three discs. With its third disc, a home for 20 minutes of newly recorded bonus tracks, the appropriately titled ULTIMATE YES stops just short of box-set length (there have already been two of those to tell the group's story), but finely chronicles Yes's long career. Through a maze of head-spinning personnel changes, almost every album is ...
