Create your "Worst of Yes" compilation album

[josuev80]

Rules are create an album of 10-12 songs with no more than one from any original album (no unreleased tracks) that you would absolutely not want someone unfamiliar with the group to hear which could dissuade them from liking the band.

1) Yesterday and Today
2) Clear Days
3) Circus of Heaven
4) Run Through The Light
5) Our Song
6) Almost Like Love
7) Dangerous (Look in the Light of What You're Searching For)
8) State of Play
9) Fortune Seller
10) Finally
11) Soft As A Dove
12) The Man You Always Wanted Me to Be

[cinderella]

Almost Like Love
Shock To The System
State Of Play
I'm Running
Miracle Of Life
Yours Is No Disgrace
Going For The One
Circus Of Heaven
Arriving UFO
On The Silent Wings Of Freedom

Yes already made this. They called it Open Your Eyes.

[Meng]

No more than one from each album makes it tougher.

Teakbois
Saving My Heart
Circus Of Heaven
Big Generator
Leave It
Man In The Moon
The Messenger
Sweetness
State Of Play

[relayermoraz]

Angkor Wat. That's about it.

So True.

I chose the 12 tracks most likely to send someone running for the hills, created a playlist, hit random and voila:

Run Through The Light
Sweetness
Circus Of Heaven
Angkor Wat
If Only You Knew
Real Love
Teakbois
Almost Like Love
Fortune Seller
Soft As A Dove
Clear Days
The Remembering

Making someone listen to the Teakbois-Almost Like Love-Fortune Seller sequence would easily constitute cruel and unusual punishment.

I badly wanted to include Bumpy Ride, but that almost felt like cheating.

So very true.

[Jackaranda]

1) If Only You Knew
2) Future Times/Rejoice
3) I Would Have Waited Forever
4) The Man You Always Wanted Me To Be
5) Dangerous
6) Angkor Wot (???)
7) Release Release
8) Almost Like Love
9) That That Is
10) The Messenger

Adding to my comment, OYE and Union are the only two Yes albums where I routinely skip songs when I listen to them. So those skipped songs are my "worst" of Yes. I'm not going to name them, it's too painful to even try to remember the titles.

Yawn

You've put your compilation in the player already, clearly!

[Mr. Holland]

I feel that every Yes album has something worthwhile on it, so I don't know whether I can think of 12 songs, but here we go:

1) The Prophet
2) Circus of Heaven
3) Holding On
4) Sign Language
5) From the Balcony
6) Love Shine
7) Man You Always Wanted Me to Be

[Mr. Holland]

Making someone listen to the Teakbois-Almost Like Love-Fortune Seller sequence would easily constitute cruel and unusual punishment.

While not a big fan of Teakbois I actually love the last two songs, no punishment for me whatsoever.
