If you’ve been fence sitting about Trevor Rabin now is the time to put that shit away.

There would never be a Yes day of this sort called Tales From Topographic Oceans.

[u/VaporDrawings → u/LuckyLeftNut]

Every day is Tales From Topographic Oceans Day.

[u/LuckyLeftNut → u/VaporDrawings]

I don’t observe.

[u/RamblinManRock]

010925?

[u/Snarkosaurus99 → u/RamblinManRock]

090125

[u/rb-j → u/Snarkosaurus99]

I don't get it. And I love Yes and particularly love Topo.

What am I missing?

90125 was an album from the Trevor Rabin area Yes.

So some people like to celebrate that on matching dates.

[u/Yeahha]

Yes

[u/rb-j]

Why is today "Yes Day"?

[u/rb-j → u/rb-j]

Okay, 1² 3² 5² . That I can see. What does that have to do with Yes????

[u/stisa79 → u/rb-j]

They have an album called 90125

[u/rb-j → u/stisa79]

Oh, that's the one with Owner of a Lonely Heart.

Sorta like The Wall is to PF, I considered Owner... to be Yes's sellout commercial song (hay, sometimes you gotta pay the bills).

Like Comfortably Numb, I think that Owner... is okay, but it's a radio Top-40 pop kinda song. Not that interesting to me. I didn't know the name of the album that it came out on. Yes has some dogs too. I never liked Tormato even though I bought it.

But, for the most part, I love the classic Pink Floyd and classic Yes. I just think that, in their later years, both bands have sold out a little bit. Happens to everybody.

[u/stisa79 → u/rb-j]

I agree, I haven't even heard the other songs on the album. Based on other 80s stuff that I have heard, I'm just not interested.
