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.

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.
