#--90125--Yes  (2112-Rush  Honorable Mention)

This surprises me.

[King Postwhore]

#--90125--Yes  (2112-Rush  Honorable Mention)

This surprises me.

It was so ahead of it's time and I played it a million times so it won by a Geddy Lee nose.

[zxlkho]

That's a lot.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Oh you

I like 90125. But some of it just seems like filler

[King Postwhore]

Someones junk is anothers gold.  The only song I see as filler is Hearts.  But doesn't Jon Anderson have a filler song of his on most Yes CD's?

I love "Hearts."  The only slightly average songs on 90125, to me, are "Our Song" and "Hold On," but even both of those are still quality tunes; they just aren't as good as everything else.

[King Postwhore]

See Kev.  My statment rings true!

Hearts just never clicked with me.
