YES – “CLOSE TO THE EDGE”

This is an epic, classic progressive rock masterpiece that doesn’t even really start til about 3 minutes in! But you’re well off being patient and getting down with this ultra-melodic legend…

Interesting factoid — shortly after the recording of this awesome 3-song album, drummer extraordinaire Bill Bruford left the band to join another little prog outfit known as KING CRIMSON. Yelp!

If you’ve never heard a song by Yes before, get yer head out of yer rectum and be sure to check out “Heart of the Sunrise” as well (which was one of the first-ever Saturday Songs To Get Stoned To).

YES — “Close to the Edge”, from Close to the Edge (1972)
