Yes - The Best Of 1970 1987

Review by Arturo de la Peña

The Best Of 1970-1987 by Yes is a compilation album that features some of the band's most iconic songs from their early years to the late 80s. The album showcases the band's musical evolution over the years and highlights their unique blend of progressive rock, symphonic rock, and art rock.

The album opens with the classic hit "Yours Is No Disgrace" from their third studio album The Yes Album, which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The compilation also includes other fan-favorites such as "Roundabout," "I've Seen All Good People," "Close to the Edge," and "Owner of a Lonely Heart."

What makes this album truly special is how well it captures the essence of Yes's music. The intricate guitar work, soaring vocals, and complex time signatures that Yes is known for are all present in this compilation. The album also features some lesser-known tracks such as "South Side of the Sky" and "Going for the One," which add depth and variety to the tracklist.
