ANderson, Trevor Horn and Trevor Rabin. It’s an area we seldom look at so it was very enjoyable to examine a different aspect of the music of Yes and I definitely learned a lot from what Mark said about his choices. I’m sure you will as well. As always, we’d love to see what your suggestions are for great 80s Yes lyrics so do leave your choices on the show notes for this episode.

• Are there differences between lyrics by different Yes frontmen?
• Do the other writers try to sound like Jon Anderson?
• What makes a good Yes lyric?

Let us know if you agree with us!

Theme music

The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from: archive.org

We took a break from Tales from Topographic Oceans this week to consider what Yes were up to in the 1980s. Across just four albums (if you are happy to call ABWH a Yes album), Yes music was somewhat different to what had come before.

You are probably aware that our friends and YMP Patrons Stephen Lambe and Dave Watkinson wrote a whole book about Yes in the 1980s so don’t forget to check that out if you don’t already have a copy – it’s currently available for a reduced price at Burning Shed (see below).

Mark and I choose our favourite songs from each of these four albums and consider what makes the Yes music of the 1980s great.

• Are all the 80s records similar?
• How would you define the Yes music of this decade?
• Why isn’t there more of it?

Let us know if you agree with us!

On sale for a reduced price at Burning Shed!
