i had heard some of their songs before and always liked the bass, but my uncle told me to get Fragile as he recomended it for bass lines. Boy was he right, the bass on these tracks are amazing. If anyone else likes "Yes" can you tell me if all "yes" albums have such good basslines?
Too obvious? Anyway in addition to "Fragile", get "Close to the Edge" (my favorite, for sentimental reasons) and "Tales from Topographic Oceans"
Since "Strawberry" Lindfield 4-Ever is obviously on holiday- Why isn't this thread under RECORDINGS?! BTW, yes, I just received Yes' debut(ie FIRST album)for Christmas...all these years, never had nor heard it. I've played 3 tunes thus far; Bruford & Squire are happenin'(the 2nd tune is especially 'jazzy'). And Squire's solo disc from the '70s is worth checking out. Get 'em, Brad!
You dick. Next question: Does Gruffpuppy like it that Brad beats him to the punch line 9 times out of 10? Same answer No damn I have to stop sleeping.
Less than 2 minutes for a response. Pretty darn good on the draw you are. What do you keep like ten windows open and keep hitting refresh.
I am a '70s Yes fan, then an '80s Yes fan, then a 90's Yes fan, now a 00's Yes fan. I remember going to the Yes Reunion concert in Tampa a few years back. A whole bunch of people jumped up and roared when a song off of Fragile was played and strangely, a whole group just sat there. Then they played Owner of a Lonely Heart, and the quiet group shot right up. So not being familiar with the whole body of Yes work is understandable. But I do understand the humor! Excellent timing. Squire is a rock bassist par excellance. However, he does not have the chops of say a Victor Wooten of modern days. He did elevate the bass to feature instrument status in the rock world. As for the bass lines, there many many.
Listen The Yes Album... Very cool basslines, it was my first and I fell in love with that RIC tone...
Try the "Classic Yes" album. It is a live CD of a lot of their great songs like Roundabout, I've Seen all Good People, and Heart of the Sunrise.
