BUT.... I had this friend who absolutly loved the total vocal version of the song entitled "Leave it" by YES. This one has NO instramentals. If the original poster had his way, we would pick up said album only to hear NOTHING! :-} Great if you want to test your equipment for feedback, but not up there on the listening scale. P.S. This is only my opinion, or you might say, my taste. but then again that is why there is so many different songs, song styles (I.E HM, POP, JAZZ, ETC.). That is music is picked by taste, NO ONE says "Buy this album or I will KILL you". If everone listened to one type of music, what would parents have to yell at thier kids about!?!?!?!? -- John Wersan UUCP : {decvax,dual,watmath,rocksanne,rocksvax}!sunybcs!daemen!wersan "Any statements made are not mine, this computer has me mistaken for someone else, of lower intelligence."
