Nice line up of somewhat not-oft heard tunes, Richard. Not very many folks know of Yes' version of America (dating back to the glorious age of vinyl in 1972 and 1975), and one of my favorites that's good to see mixed in between the rest.
Some good choices and fond thoughts here of those younger days-- before the music scene dried up and died, the same place we'll all end up someday.
Thanks for the memories. Those were good days.
Skippy: I love Yes! Music today is morphing. Lots of good alternative stuff out there.
How about the Eagles/Hotel California?
Rick: You know I can't stand the eagles!
Good choices, especially 2 and 3.
