Yes : love it or hate it!!

Today, after a visit from some of my relatives, J', Katy, Carter and Rosie, I decided to look back over my old collection of Yes records. J' pretty good at Playing the Steve Howe guitar breaks and I though it would be interesting to gets some more info on them now that the web has become an encyclopedia of knowledge. I was looking back through info on Tormato on wikipedia. It's interesting to find out why is got it's name..

But of far more interest was my discover of stories about the infamous "Topographic Oceans" ablum. I was aware it was always cited as the high-point/lowest point of everything that was wrong with prog rock. I was also aware the Rick Wakeman, the band's keyboard player disliked it, But When I discovered that his hate for it was so great that during a live performance of it, he stopped playing, leaving the other band members to continue, while he ate a curry on stage that he had ordered. He subsequently left the band.
