Today’s band selection has nothing to do with the incoming administration’s campaign slogan. I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed a similar, somewhat small “l” libertarian bent to their tunage?
Take for instance, this video
Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart
Classic anti-establishment themes.
Leave It, Survival, Starship Trooper and a bit of Soon also speak to individualism. Or maybe I’m just projecting?
Your second shot for the day is my favorite track from them
Yes – Roundabout (Live 1973)
I don’t know how or who to submit this question to, but when some of the members of Yes broke off to form Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe, why they didn’t just call the new band “Maybe”.
After all, it wasn’t quite “Yes”.
And those were the thoughts that kept me from the top of the Honor Roll in high school.
Enjoy!
Yes has always been my favorite prog-rock band. The “Owner of a Lonely Heart” video was just really freaky, though…
Oh Yes! Roundabout…wow.
