Ten Albums In Ten Days - Day 5

Ten Albums In Ten Days That Changed You 
 or hold significant meaning for you. 


5. “Yessongs” - Yes (1973) 

My first real dive into progressive rock. Their first live album, I actually bought it out of sheer curiosity. The fact that it was three discs long was part of it. And whereas the recording is not exceptional technically, the performance certainly is. Composed largely of material from their two most recent albums (“Fragile” and “Close to the Edge”), it features the most iconic of Yes’ many member lineups. Yes is still, by far, my favorite progressive rock band to this day. 

Favorite tracks: "Heart of the Sunrise", "Close to the Edge", and "Starship Trooper".
