The Yes Game

#25
Ok, guys. Let's see if we can straighten this out. The moving rules are zero-sum. add 1 subtract 1 each time. It's like monopoly in that you throw two dice each time to move and you don't use part of your roll now and save the rest later or something. That's just the way it is.

So there is a -1 that still needs assigning. James needs to either use it now, let someone else use it (not what I'd prefer), or the only other option I can think of is invalidate his entire vote for today. Let me know.

Okay, okay... I don't care what you do to Yessongs, James, but Tormato is going going gone unless someone steps in to rescue it!

I'm surprised to see you voting for the later stuff by the way. It's not bad, but do you really think it compares with the classic period or are you just making a point? ;)

I read an article about Yes online a while back, which asserted that if you start with the first album and go up to the present, their best work all occurs in a block, which the author referred to as the band's "main sequence". He was of the opinion that this sequence began with The Yes Album and ended with Going For The One. I'll see if I can find a link, it was quite a good read.

EDIT Can't find the exact article, but this seems to be where the idea might have originated:
