Don't make YES and ELP look like martyrs for the cause of progressive rock
-- they sold a lot of records too.  Each group had a few good ideas, maybe
too much musicianship (at the expense of musicality), and maybe two or three
good albums early in their careers.  When was the last time YOU listened to
``TARKUS'' or Tormato ?  Anyway, the commercial=bad /
progressive = non-commercial =good theory is so riddled with holes anyway.

>From Yes, I like
 parts of the Yes album
 most of Fragile
 parts of ```Close to the Edge''
 and the song ``Going for the One,'' where they actually do a SONG (and
  it's self-deprecating, no less !)
