    Right with you on Nugent, grossly overrated I reckon, also Wishbone Ash, thanks to the woman who was my then girlfriend and later first wife.

    Never really got on with Yes. Bought the albums, listened to them in varying states of consciousness ranging from stone cold sober to chemically enhanced and all stages in between. I completely recognise their musical prowess, they were consummate musicians, but those lyrics were and remain so pretentious I reckon.

    Just to clarify, I like WA, realised that it might be possible to misinterpret what I’d put

    Yes, the lyrics are complete bullshit - often hilariously so. But Jon Anderson's voice is so wonderfully melodic, I just think of the vocals as another instrument within the fabulous arrangements.
    For me, The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge are beyond criticism - I just love them, as much now as when I was 16/17. They are the apogee of 'prog rock' to my ears - never to be bettered. The rhythm section of Bruford and Squires was unbelievably good.
    Toby's Graphic Go-kart, as Wakeman called Topographic Oceans, was a major disappointment to me and I lost interest after that.
    Funny how we all hear things differently. I loved Yes but feckin hated ELP, though they are often bracketed together.

    So. Tonight. The weather is absolutely awful, so some calm soothing music on the way over the M62, with appropriate lyrics. Hopefully not need to be played on the journey home.
