Music Monday: Yes/The Yes Album (Side 2)

Now it's time to continue our journey through the music of Yes. Side 1 of The Yes Album was covered here, so now it's on to the flip side.

The back cover. Yeah, creepy.

This Day in Music History (09/20): Yes/Tormato and Yes/The Ladder

On this day in music history, Yes was at it again (they love the month of September apparently) with not one, but two different albums released on this date.

First, in 1978, Yes released Tormato, which had a few decent ideas, but overall was basically crap.

The original album title was to be Yes Tor, referring to a geological formation in southern England. The photographs taken by Hipgnosis for the album cover were seen as so unimpressive that Rick Wakeman (RW!), in frustration, threw a tomato at the pictures. The cover and title were adjusted accordingly. No, really. That's how it got its name.

Friday and the Random 10 (Your Move Edition)

Welcome to a new and improved, simplified and stripped down Random 10! 

Here's a picture.

Great album by Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades.

Music Monday (The Ladder, Side 2)

So after covering side one, and trying to sort through the whole John Lennon/Yoko Ono thing (whut?), it is time to move on to the second half of The Ladder.
