   Yes, that's their most overplayed song, along with "Dust In The Wind", but   
   they've got so many other Awesome tunes.

   Got to stay with what you like if it's to have meaning.

   I don't think it'll ever be more than a matter of personal preference, no   
   matter what kind of tripping it might be part of.

   Tales From Topographic Oceans is not my favorite Yes album, but then they   
   have a style that I've got to be careful about picking and choosing songs   
   from within.   
      
   > I like fiddle music.  Is there any of that on there ?   
      
   No, not from Yes, but absolutely from Kansas, LOTS of fiddle, or rather,   
   violin parts from Robby Steinhardt, and can he Jam!

   If all he's good for is making problems, who needs that?

   That's not a bad idea ;)
