Jethro42: Yes Songs - Top 20

Jethro42 03.13.10	Honorable mentions to songs 'Changes', 'Mood for a Day' and 'The Clap'
Parallels 03.13.10	thank you kind sir
Jethro42 03.13.10	oops I forgot 'Starship Trooper' which goes between 5 and 6
DoubtGin 03.13.10	1 is where it should be so I approve of this. props for Yours Is No Disgrace being so high ;D
Jethro42 03.13.10	Is there anybody out there... Sputnik is suppose to love prog (sigh)
sumyunguy 03.13.10	I'm here for you buddy. Yes is tied for my favorite band ever. Interesting choices. 1 is 1. I'd have HOTS before SSOTS, awaken much higher, and i wouldn't have perpetual change on there at all. and what about homeworld? surely that song is much better than a venture.
Jethro42 03.14.10	Thx for Homeworld sumyunguy. When was this song released?
sumyunguy 03.14.10	It's on The Ladder - 1999. Great song.
ubermensch518 03.22.10	Nice list - I was going to comment on the lack of Starship Trooper, but I see you fixed it - though its above Your's in my mind. I've always thought "The Revealing Science of God / Dance of the Dawn" was the only really solid song on Tales, I'll have to relisten to Ritual Great call on South of the Sky.
KILL 11.15.10	hell yes
theacademy 11.15.10	how someone can make this list and just forget starship trooper is beyond me
AngelofDeath 11.15.10	List owns.
BigHans 11.15.10	19 is 1. Needs Owner of a Lonely Heart
Jethro42 11.15.10	''how someone can make this list and just forget starship trooper is beyond me'' Please, read the 3rd comment above.
Jethro42 11.15.10	Owner of a Lonely Heart was mostly composed by the guitarist who replaced Steve Howe, and song is nowhere near a 'classic' Yes song. sorry, Hans.
Nagrarok 11.15.10	I'm surprised Time and a Word is so well-presented here, good album but not all too interesting to me (which will be made clear by about-to-be-posted review). Otherwise this is a great selection I have little to add to. I agree with Hans about Owner though, it may be far and far from their classic sound but it's such a classic 80's song.
Jethro42 11.15.10	Cant wait either, Nag. I personally think Time and a Word is an improvement over their first effort.
BigHans 11.15.10	Owner of a Lonely Heart rules
Nagrarok 11.15.10	it does but it doesn't really belong on this list
BigHans 11.15.10	List needs moar Steely Dan
Jethro42 11.15.10	omg You like Steely Dan, Hans? You're more near to prog than I thought. I might do a list on these guys.
BigHans 11.15.10	Yeah I like them, weird because I dont like that much Jazz. But they have some fucking classic songs: RELLIN IN THE YEARS, Peg, Old School, Riki Dont Lose That Number, Black Friday, FM. Love em all.
theacademy 11.15.10	Big Generator is Yes's Saint Anger, or it would be if Metallica's other albums didn't suck ass too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ''how someone can make this list and just forget starship trooper is beyond me'' "Please, read the 3rd comment above." ("oops I forgot 'Starship Trooper' which goes between 5 and 6")
Nagrarok 11.15.10	My father likes Steely Dan, a certain compilation of theirs could have been childhood nostalgia if it wasn't for my mother who rather dislikes them. I remember hearing Riki Don't Lose That Number more than often enough.
BigHans 11.15.10	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz8AJh7_mKc PEG, Motherfuckers.
Jethro42 11.15.10	Awesome selection, Hans. And you're right Nag, Rikki had too much airplay. Also we got: Do it Again Bodhisattva Kid Charlemagne The Fez Green Earrings Aja Deacon Blues Josie Aja is arguably theit best record, tight with their incredibly live album 'America', featuring virtuoso Dennis Chambers on drums.
Jethro42 11.15.10	oh! And of course 'Babylone Sisters'
BigHans 11.15.10	oh fuck forgot Deacon Blues. Great song.
Jethro42 11.16.10	Are you reeling in the yearrrrrrrrs Stowin' away the tiiiime Are you gathering up the tearrrrrrrrs Have you had enough of miiiine
Pastor of Muppets 11.16.10	Are you sure you don't want to put Starship Trooper between 6 and 7? And then maybe move the new 6 and 7 up to spots 1 & 2?
starry 11.16.10	Where the heck is Wondrous Stories? That is one song I definitely like.
Jethro42 11.16.10	@Pastor: read the comment #3 ^ Also, nothing can move my actual top 5. @starry: Wounderous Story is a good call indeed.
Jethro42 11.16.10	I'd place Starship Trooper right after Siberian Kathru (number 8)
Jethro42 11.16.10	dammit, I'm not sure at all of what Pastor of muppet meant. Je suis désolé.
ViperAces 05.09.13	1 is fucking 1
conesmoke 05.09.13	2 is my personal fave. "SHARP! DISTANCE! howw cannn the windd with it's arms all around meeeeeee"
Jethro42 05.09.13	:)
DrHouseSchuldiner 05.09.13	Best list cuz Yesssssss

Zeneren 07.10.13	sweeeet, i'm a fan of tempus fugit
JaySpiral 07.10.13	4 is 2. Always an underrated song. Nice list.
JokineAugustus 07.10.13	Roundabout is 1 to me so far.
ViperAces 07.10.13	lol
Jethro42 07.10.13	Tempus Fugit is funky and sexy yesss yessss And South Side of the Sky rules
JokineAugustus 07.10.13	Ya Roundabout sucks nvm Viper.
Jethro42 07.10.13	There are couple of gems before Roundabout, Jokine
JokineAugustus 07.10.13	Idk man. Close to the edge would be pretty much tied with it for me though.
Titan 07.10.13	Delirium has always been my favorite
Titan 07.10.13	also, props for 16.......great song
Jethro42 07.11.13	THERE S A TIIIIIME AND THE TIME IS NOW AND IT S RIGHT WITH MEEEEEE
Titan 07.11.13	classic!
Jethro42 12.05.15	@SirLord In before no Machine Messiah, I just realize I forgot to include that one. It would fit into the near ending of that list anyway.
someguest 12.05.15	Where's "Starship Trooper", Jethro?
MrSirLordGentleman 12.05.15	haha you know me Jethro, still excellent list, they just have too many awesome songs
Titan 12.05.15	GETTING OVER OVERHANGING TREES
Jethro42 12.05.15	@someguest, you know your Yes well, man. The truth is I dunno I probably lost my head while I did the list. Song is easily a top 10. Damn, I'll try to add that one. @SirLord haha I was sure you would reprimand me about Machine. Cheers! @Titan, cheers man.
JamieTwort 12.05.15	Can't really argue with that top 8. Good list dude.
Titan 12.05.15	you find ways to argue with everything i will always love you Jamie
Jethro42 12.05.15	and most of the time, Jamie is right so watch out what you guys say haha. Thanks JT. Love you too, friend!
Titan 12.05.15	he's right with everything except his opinions
Jethro42 12.05.15	lol When all alone, he fights against himself and he always wins.
Jethro42 12.18.15	@someguest I resolved the mystery about Starship Trooper. I mentioned at the beginning of this thread that I forgot to include that one, and that i'd place it at no. 5 or 6.
Jethro42 12.18.15	^fixed.
