    I was seven years old when it was released, and it knocked me flat: four keys; eleven key changes. It’s also one of the most perfect pop songs ever written.

    Hats off to the Wrecking Crew, too. 😎
    YES! Oh man that song still sends me. Influenced my musical being early on, LOVE Tommy!

      Always wanted to hear Yes do something with John Lennon's 'Mind Games'. You know, "Yessss is the answer... Yessss is forever."

        That’s a wicked cool choice; I’d absolutely love to hear that, too! 😎
        Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia, esse derelictum. Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere; sed audi propitia et exaudi. Amen.

          I remember Jon Anderson once saying he was big fan of Nina Simone and the tune "I Put a Spell on You", and I thought that would be a fascinating song to give the Yes treatment.

              I'd like them to cover Leonard Cohen's Who By Fire, in the same way they do America: build on the original and extend it. Cohen's original has a tantalising musical outro I think they could really make something of.

                I'd like to hear them play "Something in the Air" by Thunderclap Newman! I can hear it now, they would make it soar ))

                    Something from the disco period. ( Rob runs and hides ) You know Alan loved the stuff, but hanging out with Dick Branson, drinking , roller disco make a very bad combination. Kiss' only disco song is my favorite of their's by the way.
