So...we're now up to 6 lists (including mine.  Unless anyone objects, I'm going to extend the deadline to give folks more time.

I will do my best to get a list in.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I'll GLADLY take it. I've already arbitrarily deemed the post-Squire material out (and I'm including Heaven and Earth in that steaming pile of lesser material).  :) :) :)

I sincerely want to do this, and I am sincerely going to try. The astronomical amount of drama that has decided to encircle my life is making it difficult, but these types of escape are sometimes a very welcome corner of my life.

Sent my list! This got tough with the post-2000's songs.

Only 6 songs made every list.  Needless to say, this means some heavy hitters were left off at least one list.

Those 6 songs come from only 4 albums.

The #1 songs have also come from only 4 albums (but they're not the same albums referred to above).

I made it easy on myself and left those out.

This is hard; I cut it off with no Squire and/or no Anderson.  Not hard and fast, because I left off Heaven and Earth (though Squire appeared on that) and I included Drama, Fly From Here, and From A Page that didn't have Anderson.  Obviously something off GFTO versus something off The Ladder is an easy choice, but to discern between a song from The Ladder and Magnification, not so much, or a song from CTTE and Fragile...

My knowledge of Yes starts with Fragile and ends with Big Generator, which conveniently was just about 55 songs.

Other than "The Yes Album", you've got the meat and potatoes there.   :)

Woops, it does include The Yes Album. Just forgot that one came before Fragile!

And yet Make It Easy is a pre-2000s song.   :biggrin:
