Lately, I've been listening (and watching) a lot of Yes songs, including...
Soon

Wonderous Stories

Owner of a Lonely Heart

With that last one, perhaps it was because MTV was fresh and new back then, or another possibility: I was into psychotropic substances at the time. But it still seems to me that their video showed real imagination and creativity. Unlike what passes for entertainment these days.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to chase the neighborhood kids off my lawn (before they find my secret garden).

Again, thanks!

Hi,

Yes was my absolute #1 favorite during my youth.

I recall they had a thing where there were multiple versions of this video, and a different one was shown each day. The bad promised that they would be release all of them in video format if they reached the top of whichever chart was the goal. Ok it did reach number 3 on billboard album rock or some such, that was the one the goal was around.
