I own nothing by Yes and off the top of my head could only name Owner of a Lonely Heart

……so I better pass on this one

Yazoo, would have been better

Fragile is a wondrous album.

My three songs will probably come from that masterpiece.

I'll give this a swerve. Owner of a Lonely Heart aside, I don't know any of their stuff and have no desire to, tbh

I'd forgot the majority of proggers have left MOT.

Oh well, the Jill, the young lady & myself will post up three Yes songs, hopefully.

Don't get the disdain for prog, it's some of my favourite music.

Sadly, it looks like Owner Of A Lonely Heart will win because most only have an attention span of four minutes.

These are my wife’s choices as I’ve only heard of but not listened to, Close to the Edge and the Lonely Heart one I’m not keen at all.

Close to the Edge
And You and I
Yours is No Disgrace

64, as they aren’t my choices feel free not to include them 😁
