Drama is a GREAT album. We didn't realize, at the time, how groundbreaking and original it was... We were all so perplexed at the line-up change! Into the Lens is amazing.
True. I think a lot of Yes fans would rate it higher if it didn't seem like turning their backs to the original template. I think, however, after T. Rabin, the Trevor Horn version actually sounds more "Yessy" than people thought it did. It's great music on that album, on every level.

Great list. Here’s mine, it’s bound to change but here it is as of now. 10. Going For The One 9. Mind Drive 8. Changes 7. Owner Of A Lonely Heart 6. Siberian Khatru 5. Astral Traveller 4. Roundabout 3. Close To The Edge 2. Endless Dream 1. The Gates Of Delirium
Yes played South Side of the Sky on their 35th Anniversary tour. The arrangement was spectacular, featuring a dueling back and forth section between Wakeman and Howe.
I can still put on Close the the Edge to this day and be transported to that place that only this band could take you. Every minute/second of that album is a gift to mankind. It’s a masterpiece.....by the way, I’m with you on Changes. It was great. I didn’t see that one coming.
Again very difficult list: 10.Perpetual Change 9.Turn of the Century 8.I've seen all good people 7.Starship Trooper 6.Heart of the Sunrise 5.In the Presence Of(version of the symphonic live) 4.Awaken 3.Gates of Delirium 2. And you and I 1.Close to the Edge (Honorable mentions: Yesterday and Today; Yours is no Disgrace; Siberian Khatru; Machine Messiah; Wonderous Stories; Then; Time and the Word; Madrigal; Tempus Fugit)
Miguel, I totally agree with your list. I'm thinking of requesting And You And I to be played at my funeral, although I'm in good health and nowhere near dying, I hope.
10. We have Heaven 9. It Can happen 8. Machine Messiah 7. Leave it 6. Long Distance Runaround 5. Owner of a Lonely Heart 4. Yours is no Disgrace 3. Starship Trooper 2. Tempus Fugit 1. Roundabout I may be the only one who will put a Trevor Horn song in my top 2. I really love the edge to it
I love South side of the Sky. It always gets overlooked. Whenever I hear it, it always reminds me of H.P. Lovecrafts At the Mountains of Madness. Not sure why but it always does.
Great video & list! My Top 10: 10 - Ritual 9 - Roundabout 8 - South Side of the Sky 7 - Siberian Khatru 6 - Machine Messiah 5 - Sound Chaser 4 - Heart of the Sunrise The three giants of Yes for me and Prog defining tracks: 3 - Close to the Edge 2 - The Revealing Science of God 1 - The Gates of Delirium
I will admit that when I first heard and was just taken away by the album "Close to the Edge", when I was 17, in 81', Siberian Khatru brought tears to my eyes. The theme was so saturated with emotion and repeated again and again like a reminder of an ancient journey across a forgotten rugged and snow covered landscape (thanks to Roger Dean's inside album art) to someplace where all the stuff Jon Anderson sang about was true! 1. South Side of the Sky, 2. Yours Is No Disgrace, 3. Heart of the Sunrise, 3. Long Distance Runaround, 4. And You And I, 5. Close To the Edge, 6. Starship Trooper, 7. Perpetual Change, 8. Your Move, 9. On the Silent Wings of Freedom, 10. Future Times/Rejoice
1 Close To The Edge 2 The Revealing Science Of God 3 Siberian Khatru 4 Roundabout 5 On The Silent Wings Of Freedom 6 And You And I 7 Our Song 8 Future Times/ Rejoice 9 Tempus Fugit 10 Release Release Hi to you Pete , thank you for all your passionate videos , Happy New Year 2019.
Thanks for the heads up - I went back and listened to these songs and once again rediscovered the magic of Yes. Oh my, when you compare the music of today you can definitely see we are no longer in the "Golden Age of Rock Music".
I am surprised at how little love "Seen All Good People" gets in these comments. That song is so beautiful. It's one of those songs where, as you hear each note, you immediately realize it is exactly as it should be and it could not possibly be anything else. Plus the whole chess motif
For me it's one of those songs that I liked at first but at one point decided I just don't need to hear ever again. I think the reason is because it's so repetetive, saying the same line over and over again.
1. Close To The Edge 2 Heart of the Sunrise 3. Yours Is No Disgrace 4. Starship Trooper 5. Long Distance Runaround/Fish 6. Time and a Word 7. And You And I 8 I've Seen a All Good People 9. Ritual 10. It Can Happen

I enjoy your show. Your picks were great. Close to the Edge is a great album . My two fave songs are Close to The Edge and Heart of The Sunrise. It is very hard to pick the top 10 Yes songs. I love prog rock. I never thought of Yes as a prog rock band in my younger days. I just thought of them is a rock band that I loved very much. I'm 65 now and still listen to them almost daily. I enjoy your show and I'm still learning new bands even now. Never stop learning & never stop growing. Music is essential to living & mental growth and well-being. Helps keep you sane!
Good Choice! This is how I would do it: 1. Close to the Edge 2. Siberian Khatru 3. The Gates of Delirium 4. Soundchaser 5. Awaken 6. And You and I 7. Yours Is No Disgrace 8. Heart of the Sunrise 9. Starship Trooper 10. Release Release

No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed 2.The Gates Of Delirium 1.Heart Of The Sunrise (I can listen to that groovy bass drum interplay over and over again)
there are very few songs that are so musically powerful and musically moving that they can make me actually shed tears....but And You And I and Awaken do that for me

Excellent excellent list. That's basically my top ten is well, I would maybe tempted to swap Into The Lens for Machine Messiah but I do really like Into The Lens too. I like a lot of songs from Going for the One, Topopgrahic Oceans, early Yes and 80's Yes too but I would put those more in the top twenty.
Great choice for #1. Siberian Khatru has been my favorite forever. 1. Siberian Khatru. 2. Close To The Edge 3. Heart Of the The Sunrise 4. And You And I 5. Awaken 6. Yours Is No Disgrace. 7. South Side Of The Sky 8. Turn Of The Century 9. Perpetual Change. 10. The Revealing Science Of God.

I loved Yes from the first moment listening to Roundabout on the radio. Every album I got was like a revelation to me. The only album that didn't reach me was Drama. The longer the tunes were, the more I Ioved them. So to me the full side tunes like Relayer, Close to the Edge, and the four of Tales, are definitely my top. But not because they are better, simply because they don't stop so soon. But I love all songs from Yes. F.e. Time and a Word from Time And A Word, The Prophet, or Astral Traveller aso. F.i. I remember being called by a friend one sunday afternoon in about 1971 or '72. He told me: listen to this song on the radio - and it was Take A Pebble from Emerson Lake Palmer. I remember sitting there, crying and praying to God "Please don't let this music stop!". God bless you.
1) Heart of the Sunrise 2) Changes 3) Yours is No Disgrace 4) South Side of the Sky 5) Siberian Khatru 6) Roundabout 7) Long Distance Runaround 8) It Can Happen 9) Rhythm of Love 10) Starship Trooper
Here’s a top ten Yes list from someone who, at 49, never got into them until a few years ago (Jon Anderson’s vocals always wore on me) 1. Starship Trooper 2. Yours is No Disgrace 3. Close to the Edge 4. Gates of Delirium 5. I’ve Seen All Good People 6. Long Distance Runaround 7. Going for the One 8. And You and I 9. Heart of the Sunrise 10. Hold On HM: It Can Happen Shoot High, Aim Low …and I’m about to cheat and add: Brother of Mine
One of the pioneering bands from Progressive Rock. I love it non-commercial tendency and opulent style of acoustic creations. Awaken with the return of the legendary Rick Wakeman is my favorite, as well as much of the creative engineering of the pieces from Yes's entire melodic arsenal. Howe, White, Anderson, Wakeman, Downes at Hall of Fame.
Nice work, Pete. This is fun stuff . . . 10. South Side of the Sky 9. And You And I 8. Revealing Science of God 7. To Be Over 6. Siberian Khatru 5. Awaken 4. Machine Messiah 3. Sound Chaser 2. Close to The Edge 1. Gates of Delerium

And You and I 1. Awaken I wanted to squeeze on “The Revealing Science of God” but I couldn’t pick one to remove, so here’s an honorable mention.
Great choices, Pete! I'm on your wavelength. God, I love Yes. Like you, I've seen them multiple times in concert. Slayed every time. I would give an honorable mention to the song everybody says was too commercial: Owner Of A Lonely Heart. In the context of what was on FM radio in 1983, there was Every Breath You Take, In A Big Country, Burning Down The House, Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This, Bowie's Let's Dance, Billie Jean, Down Under, Little Red Corvette and 1999, She Blinded Me With Science, Rock The Casbah, Joe Jackson's Stepping Out and Breaking Us In Two, Elton's I'm Still Standing, She's Sexy and 17 by the Stray Cats --- I mean, OMG what a year on FM radio and then in November, Yes hits the charts with Owner Of A Lonely Heart, which was like icing on the cake. Commercial, yeah, but damn good in the context or arena it was meant for and with those brass stabs it was cool at high volume.
My favourite Yes album is Drama so would include a few tracks from that album but your number 1 matches mine. It's just a phenomenal track, easy to love and enjoy it all the time.
1. Awaken 2. Fly From Here 3. Going For The One 4. Wonderous Stories 5. Tempus Fugit 6. Close To The Edge 7. Roundabout 8. Starship Trooper 9. Yours Is No Disgrace 10. Love will find a way
Yes is the definition of progressive rock and I saw them 5 times in my life and they never disappointed me as I was completely blown away after every show and are still on of my favorite bands of all time as I never got tired of listening to them because they have so many songs to choose from which keeps it moving along and their personnel is always top notch and second to none. Great singer, great guitar players, great bass player fantastic keyboards and drums and writer's, Anderson, Squire & howe would match up to anyone in the world. Here's my top 10: 1- Starship Trooper 2- And You and I 3- Heart of the Sunrise 4- Roundabout 5- Close to the Edge 6- Perpetual Change 7- Awaken 8- Yours is no Disgrace 9- Time and a Word 10- South Side of the Sky 11- Shoot low aim High 12- The Gates of Delirium 13- I've seen all good people 14- America 15- Turn of the Century 16- The Silent Wings of Freedom 17- Long Distance Runaround/The Fish 18- Sweet Dreams 19- Siberian Khatru 20- A Venture Sorry, here's 20 instead I'm an old head & I like the older Yes, peace ! 🎸 🇺🇸

@Jaime my top 10 changes all the time. It's different now
I love how u have mind drive in there
Drama is a GREAT album. We didn't realize, at the time, how groundbreaking and original it was... We were all so perplexed at the line-up change! Into the Lens is amazing.
True. I think a lot of Yes fans would rate it higher if it didn't seem like turning their backs to the original template. I think, however, after T. Rabin, the Trevor Horn version actually sounds more "Yessy" than people thought it did. It's great music on that album, on every level.

Roundabout, Owner of a lonely heart. The calling is a great later tune! It always pumps me up!
a king crimson list would be amazing
The entire Yessongs album....that '72 European tour was perhaps the best live prog rock tour of all time!!
AGREE!
...fully agree - Yessongs is just unbelievable good - all way through!! 💖
Yes played South Side of the Sky on their 35th Anniversary tour. The arrangement was spectacular, featuring a dueling back and forth section between Wakeman and Howe.
Close To The Edge, title track, is my very favorite Yes song!!❤❤❤😎
Best YES song I ever heard and blew me away. "THEN" ..!
Totally digging these segments. Love Genesis and Yes
I can still put on Close the the Edge to this day and be transported to that place that only this band could take you. Every minute/second of that album is a gift to mankind. It’s a masterpiece.....by the way, I’m with you on Changes. It was great. I didn’t see that one coming.
instablaster
I just read a writer's list of the top 20 Yes songs and they didn't include Close to the Edge.
Again very difficult list:
10.Perpetual Change
9.Turn of the Century
8.I've seen all good people
7.Starship Trooper
6.Heart of the Sunrise
5.In the Presence Of(version of the symphonic live)

2. And you and I
1.Close to the Edge
(Honorable mentions: Yesterday and Today; Yours is no Disgrace; Siberian Khatru; Machine Messiah; Wonderous Stories; Then; Time and the Word; Madrigal; Tempus Fugit)
Miguel, I totally agree with your list. I'm thinking of requesting And You And I to be played at my funeral, although I'm in good health and nowhere near dying, I hope.
10. We have Heaven
9. It Can happen
8. Machine Messiah
7. Leave it
6. Long Distance Runaround
5. Owner of a Lonely Heart

1. Roundabout
I may be the only one who will put a Trevor Horn song in my top 2. I really love the edge to it
I love South side of the Sky. It always gets overlooked. Whenever I hear it, it always reminds me of H.P. Lovecrafts At the Mountains of Madness. Not sure why but it always does.
I have been revisiting these and making playlists. Saves a lot of time. Great for the gym. Thank you.
Turn of the Century - Honorable Mention for me
Great video & list!
My Top 10:
10 - Ritual
9 - Roundabout

4 - Heart of the Sunrise
The three giants of Yes for me and Prog defining tracks:
3 - Close to the Edge
2 - The Revealing Science of God
1 - The Gates of Delirium
I will admit that when I first heard and was just taken away by the album "Close to the Edge", when I was 17, in 81', Siberian Khatru brought tears to my eyes. The theme was so saturated with emotion and repeated again and again like a reminder of an ancient journey across a forgotten rugged and snow covered landscape (thanks to Roger Dean's inside album art) to someplace where all the stuff Jon Anderson sang about was true!

Hi to you Pete , thank you for all your passionate videos , Happy New Year 2019.
Thanks for the heads up - I went back and listened to these songs and once again rediscovered the magic of Yes. Oh my, when you compare the music of today you can definitely see we are no longer in the "Golden Age of Rock Music".
I am surprised at how little love "Seen All Good People" gets in these comments. That song is so beautiful. It's one of those songs where, as you hear each note, you immediately realize it is exactly as it should be and it could not possibly be anything else. Plus the whole chess motif
Agreed
For me it's one of those songs that I liked at first but at one point decided I just don't need to hear ever again. I think the reason is because it's so repetetive, saying the same line over and over again.

Ok fine asshole I’ll put it number 9 ahead of holy lamb. Happy? Actually, yeah it’s probably better than holy lamb.
I love Holy Lamb.
I enjoy your show. Your picks were great. Close to the Edge is a great album . My two fave songs are Close to The Edge and Heart of The Sunrise. It is very hard to pick the top 10 Yes songs. I love prog rock. I never thought of Yes as a prog rock band in my younger days. I just thought of them is a rock band that I loved very much. I'm 65 now and still listen to them almost daily. I enjoy your show and I'm still learning new bands even now. Never stop learning & never stop growing. Music is essential to living & mental growth and well-being. Helps keep you sane!
Good Choice! This is how I would do it:
1. Close to the Edge
2. Siberian Khatru
3. The Gates of Delirium
4. Soundchaser
5. Awaken
6. And You and I
7. Yours Is No Disgrace
8. Heart of the Sunrise
9. Starship Trooper

1.Heart Of The Sunrise (I can listen to that groovy bass drum interplay over and over again)
I first heard Yes when 'Awaken' was played on the radio. Still listen to it and marvel even now. Perfect for late night driving.
Awaken has one of coolest riffs Steve Howe ever wrote.
@Giovanni Rocco You could totally listen to Awaken in that time
there are very few songs that are so musically powerful and musically moving that they can make me actually shed tears....but And You And I and Awaken do that for me
I love "Endless Dream" .. My favorite of the Rabin tracks..
It's a great song and my favorite of Rabin songs is "Shoot high aim Low". Carry on & peace ! 🎸
Endless Dream is awesome. Saw it live. Great song!

I like a lot of songs from Going for the One, Topopgrahic Oceans, early Yes and 80's Yes too but I would put those more in the top twenty.
Oh yes (!) ! Awaken is absolute perfection.
... as all the other tracks you ranked...
I would consider Tales as "one song", and will forever love it.
Great choice for #1. Siberian Khatru has been my favorite forever.

I Love yes great band
I loved Yes from the first moment listening to Roundabout on the radio. Every album I got was like a revelation to me. The only album that didn't reach me was Drama. The longer the tunes were, the more I Ioved them. So to me the full side tunes like Relayer, Close to the Edge, and the four of Tales, are definitely my top. But not because they are better, simply because they don't stop so soon. But I love all songs from Yes. F.e. Time and a Word from Time And A Word, The Prophet, or Astral Traveller aso. F.i. I remember being called by a friend one sunday afternoon in about 1971 or '72. He told me: listen to this song on the radio - and it was Take A Pebble from Emerson Lake Palmer. I remember sitting there, crying and praying to God "Please don't let this music stop!".
God bless you.
1) Heart of the Sunrise
2) Changes
3) Yours is No Disgrace
4) South Side of the Sky
5) Siberian Khatru

Doing a top Ten Yes would blow my mind, but just for now, an honourable mention must go to Onward.
“Onward” is such a beautiful song
Here’s a top ten Yes list from someone who, at 49, never got into them until a few years ago (Jon Anderson’s vocals always wore on me)
1. Starship Trooper
2. Yours is No Disgrace
3. Close to the Edge
4. Gates of Delirium
5. I’ve Seen All Good People

9. Heart of the Sunrise
10. Hold On
HM:
It Can Happen
Shoot High, Aim Low
…and I’m about to cheat and add:
Brother of Mine
GREAT list.
Starship trooper deserves to be 1
One of the pioneering bands from Progressive Rock. I love it non-commercial tendency and opulent style of acoustic creations. Awaken with the return of the legendary Rick Wakeman is my favorite, as well as much of the creative engineering of the pieces from Yes's entire melodic arsenal. Howe, White, Anderson, Wakeman, Downes at Hall of Fame.
Nice work, Pete. This is fun stuff . . .

I wanted to squeeze on “The Revealing Science of God” but I couldn’t pick one to remove, so here’s an honorable mention.
Very good and the ones you left off that I love you gave mention to .
Great choices, Pete! I'm on your wavelength. God, I love Yes. Like you, I've seen them multiple times in concert. Slayed every time. I would give an honorable mention to the song everybody says was too commercial: Owner Of A Lonely Heart. In the context of what was on FM radio in 1983, there was Every Breath You Take, In A Big Country, Burning Down The House, Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This, Bowie's Let's Dance, Billie Jean, Down Under, Little Red Corvette and 1999, She Blinded Me With Science, Rock The Casbah, Joe Jackson's Stepping Out and Breaking Us In Two, Elton's I'm Still Standing, She's Sexy and 17 by the Stray Cats --- I mean, OMG what a year on FM radio and then in November, Yes hits the charts with Owner Of A Lonely Heart, which was like icing on the cake. Commercial, yeah, but damn good in the context or arena it was meant for and with those brass stabs it was cool at high volume.
My favourite Yes album is Drama so would include a few tracks from that album but your number 1 matches mine. It's just a phenomenal track, easy to love and enjoy it all the time.

The bass run that Chris goes on in Gates Of Delirium starting at 12:05 has always been one of my all time favourite Yes moments.
Yes is the definition of progressive rock and I saw them 5 times in my life and they never disappointed me as I was completely blown away after every show and are still on of my favorite bands of all time as I never got tired of listening to them because they have so many songs to choose from which keeps it moving along and their personnel is always top notch and second to none. Great singer, great guitar players, great bass player fantastic keyboards and drums and writer's, Anderson, Squire & howe would match up to anyone in the world. Here's my top 10:
1- Starship Trooper
2- And You and I
3- Heart of the Sunrise
4- Roundabout
5- Close to the Edge
6- Perpetual Change
7- Awaken
8- Yours is no Disgrace
