4.0 out of 5 stars Is this good for casual fans? "Yes"., June 23, 2004

Yes, "Yes" is an album band and you should buy them all, but if you're looking for a single disc collection, this is pretty good. Even at just 12 tracks, it does at least include their biggest hits. "I've Seen All Good People", "Roundabout", "Long Distance Runaround", and the huge hit "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" are all included. Me being a child of the 80's, I'm really glad this has "Leave It" and "Rhythm Of Love", but I wish it also had "It Can Happen" and "Love Will Find A Way". Oh well, what can you do. One thing for sure, the last three tracks sound very 80's, while the rest of course has that 70's feel to it, which I guess makes sense. Overall this is an excellent dose of classic rock, and a good sampling of classic "Yes".

5.0 out of 5 stars I wanted just the best and got it, March 18, 2004

This review is from: Highlights: The Very Best of Yes (Audio CD)

I was seeking the best stuff from the 70s and early 80s. I wanted that unique sound and style that made them great. This album is all you need if you are a casual fan or not. "Starship Trooper","I've seen all good people" and "Roundabout" are supreme displays of this bands ability and far reaching songwriting and talent.

This review is from: Highlights: The Very Best of Yes (Audio CD)

I am a big Yes fan, but this is not "the very best of Yes" as it pretends to be. I mean, where the hell is Close To The Edge? Siberian Khatru? The Ritual? The Gates of Delirium? Perpetual Change? True, most of those songs are lengthy, and couldn't realistically fit on this album, but they should at least have put Close To The Edge. Of course, the songs here are good, BUT the selection could've been a lot better. There are so many good Yes songs (and so many of them are lengthy) that a single-disc retrospective simply won't suffice. Classic Yes did a better job though, it's a decent place to start if you are new to the band. But if you really want to get all of the band's best songs in one place then get Yessongs.
