DeleteI've always regarded Yes as a benchmark band, truly remarkable in their artistry. There's far more to praise about them than to critique. That said, I’d recommend starting with a different entry point. Keep exploring, you won't regret it!
Cheers.
Gracias!!
ReplyDeleteHasta Going for the One compré todos sus discos, después ya me sonaban un poco repetitivos y ahí quedaron. Igual siempre me resulta emocionante volver a escucharlos, formaron parte de mi evolución.
Saludos.
Hi Mirta.
DeleteThat is a thoughtful sentiment. It's fascinating how bands like Yes can accompany us through our personal growth and remain touchstones in our lives. Even when certain phases of a band's work feel less engaging, the connection we've built with their music is always something special.
Cheers.
