Imagine being 12 years old, you bring this home and are sitting on your bedroom floor with your headphones on, its 1972, and you hear this for the first time. Then imagine what any music sounds like after this.
Man! Youre listening to great music. Great reaction. You MUST listen to Gentle Giant! They are perhaps the greatest Prog band of all time. The song Aspirations or Playing The Game are a great start. I promise you, you will love them! They are somehow beautifully accessible and very brilliantly written (like Yes). ❤😊
Gentle Giant is good, but to me, no band reaches YES standards. Not Genesis. Not PF. Not even Rush, whom I love. Actually love them all, but YES is just on another level. Just my opinion. ☮️❤️
Other similar progressive UK music from the 70s with this mood: Jethro Tull "Songs from the wood" Renaissance "Trip to the fair" Kate Bush "Wuthering heights" Jeff Beck "Cause we've ended up as lovers" Gentle Giants "The advent of Panurge" (But it takes years to explore it all)
I’m not torn at all, it’s really quite simple: Close to the Edge is the best song on the album And You And I is also the best song on the album Siberian Khatru is also the best song on the album Standard rules of grammar (the definition of “best”) and the rules of ordinal ranking break down in the face of this album in the way the laws of physics break down at the event horizon of a black hole. Only slight hyperbole intended.

one of the most exquisitely beautiful songs ever created.
YES! 😊
Thanks for reaction sir! Love Yes very much. The scenery will be in our mind. So the white walls are perfect. 😊
The next (and last) song on the album is a banger too. More Uptempo. It's called "Siberian Khatru", and I still think it's Yes' highest point.
Best ever!! Thank you!
☮️❤️🎼😎
Best band, ever. Period.
One of the few songs that Yes always performed in concert. Always dedicated to Jon's wife, with love.
YES. Best...band...ever. From the best album ever made by humans. Third and final song on this album is great also.Thanks!!! for the reaction.
4:20 in this video. Enjoyed you having your "yes musical orgasm". Quite frankly one of the best parts of any song EVER written.
Love you and your reactions...so,beautiful, man...thanks so much...Todd from Ohio
Thank you so much!!

YES, the greatest show on earth. Nicely done. Might as well finish the Close To The Edge album and listen to Siberian Khatru

Thanks! I guess you're The Nederlander NeverEnder now that you are in the Netherlands. I love the people I've met there
Lol had to read that twice. Great comment! I am a introvert. So it's hard for me to talk to random people lol
Get ready to move! Siberian Khatru is next!
There are only 3 tracks on this album and fans are mixed as to which is the best of the three.
I’m not torn at all, it’s really quite simple:
Close to the Edge is the best song on the album
And You And I is also the best song on the album
Siberian Khatru is also the best song on the album
