Title: A broad spanning abridged collection of Yes's more popular songs
Review: First of all, this is a "Greatest Hits" cd, Not a "Best of" cd. I say this because their best work, namely the epics, are not on this. What you have here is a collection of their more popular songs from 1969-87. It's safe to say that most of these songs have gotten a considerable amount of airplay, and even a complete Yes virgin will recognize two or three of these songs.But, being a one disc album that covers almost 20 years of steady output from the band, it's bound to miss quite a bit. But you do get a sense of how the band evolved from it's late 60's British-prog roots to a more electronic pop band of the 80's.You do miss out on the more obscure recent output from 88-present, in which they return more or less to their prog roots, but bring their more electronic poppy sound to the music.But on the whole, this is a good cd for the casual Yes fan that only wants the hits.
