I threatened I might do this in another thread, and now here goes!!

As a result of the recent stirrings in the YesFans community concerning anti-Rabin-ism, I have been thinking alot about my own anti-YesWest phase and how nice it feels now to have gotten past it. In celebration of this, I have made a CD-length play list on my MP3 player consisting of my favorite YesWest songs.

Here is my list:
1. Cinema/Leave It
2. Hold On
3. Changes
4. Shoot High, Aim Low
5. I'm Running
6. Miracle of Life
7. Where Will You Be
8. Endless Dream (all 3 parts)

Of my list here, I especially like the transition from "I'm Running" to "Miracle of Life" - play these songs in succession and you'll see what I mean! It's like Miracle of Life starts where I'm Running left off!!

Note that I'm a true prog fan, and I still don't care for Yes's poppier music, regardless of line-up. Naturally my playlist reflects this - these are, IMO, the most proggy YesWest songs.

So, fellow troopers, what would your "Best of YesWest" CD include?

I would add "The Calling" - extended version to your already fine list of tunes.

No thanks, it's a good song, but a bit too repedative for my tastes. Rabin is often too repeditive for me.

I made a disc called "Best Of Cinema 1983-91"
..but it needs to be updated to include Talk stuff too!


Anyway, the tracklist goes like this

Owner of a Lonely Heart
Hold On
Shoot High Aim Low
I'm Running
It Can Happen
Lift Me Up
Cinema
Leave It
Miracle of Life
Final Eyes
Changes
Holy Lamb
The More We Live-Let Go
Hearts

I'd have to lose a handful of tracks to make room for Endless Dream and Where Will You Be, at the very least!
