Question Greedy Person!

I know I'm probably being greedy in making another request so soon after you kindly played "Thick as a Brick" a while back, but is there any way you could get around to playing Yes' "Tales from Topographic Oceans"?

I know it's not everyone's fave Yes album but to me it epitomises Yes at their Prog peak. There are sections of real beauty, bits of raw power, sections that make you want to sing out load and bits that will have you running for the hills.

I saw them perform this in London back in 1973, before the album was even released and the experience has stayed in my mind ever since. Some of the audience loved it and others looked so bemused it was hysterical. Needless to say the press slated it. "Yes-Close to Boredom" was one headline I remember reading. When they played "Ritual" on the "Magnification" tour I thought I was in Heaven.

Anyway, enough rambling, love the show and look forward to it every week.

Cheers,

Yes, I've been considering playing it since Yesspaz gave me a "thrashing" about my comments on it on the first show. No ideas yet for next week, so why not?

Yeah, I saw em play Revealing Science of God on the tour last year, and I've seen the album in a totally new light since then.

Unhappy Not really a thrashing, more of...

It wasn't really a thrashing!!! More of a... strong defense!

Keep up the good work, EP.
