Are you there, Bobby Americano? I expect you would have far more knowledge on the subject of Yesmusic than myself, so please feel free to add any info relevant to Yes as they appear if you wish
Time And A Word was the band's second album and featured the line-up of Jon Anderson, Peter Banks (who left after recording), Chris Squire, Tony Kaye and Bill Bruford and was the first chart album by Yes in the UK.
TY Floyd! Interesting that Atlantic was going to drop them after this album and they were "saved" by The Yes Album which was to follow.
I still prefer Peter Banks. I think Steve Howe, clearly a virtuoso and technically better, at times overplays and it is not always pleasant to my ears. Listen to the lead in Astral Traveller. I mean, that's tasty, hard core, balls out rock.
Sweet Dreams is my favourite Yes song. Check out Sweet Dreams BBC sessions on my Yes thread to hear a sample oif Pete's playing. It encompasses all I would desire of a lead guitarist in this life.

I'll take a look at your thread in my tea break tonight.
I will be digging the early Yes albums again, prior to the 1971 album and put them on a continuous mp3 usb for the car methinks!

It's sadly ironic that Nick Drake has been a go-to when I'm in the mood to create the happy, relaxed inner sanctum ambian of home, blocking out the rest of the world - when he was so overwhelmed with depression."Riverman" always reminded me of another of his better known songs which gave me an idea for a new thread...
