DUH! WIR WIR WIR! you know that 80s sound effect they use? I don't know how else to describe it. Roundabout is a better song though.

shareMemory trigger! Loved that album (it had the strange quality of either making me happy or wistful when I listen to it. Flip a coin). One of those rare albums in which every song is excellent.
Shortly after their next (lesser) album hit, I was driving with a friend to yet another friend's house to retrieve some borrowed floppy Apple II computer discs (Dave's Midnight Magic pinball & Olympic Decathlon IIRC). Both of us were low on cash, mutual friends were otherwise occupied, and the strings on my tennis racquet were busted so we resorted to the black and white pleasures of barely out-of-date technology. We arrived to find this friend in the middle of a relationship imbroglio. Choosing circumspection over our desire to play slightly old bootleg games, we retreated back to my Datsun 210. Before we could drive away, said embattled friend came running out to us. He apologized to us and handed something through the window. Was it the illegally pirated software? No. It was two tickets to see Yes that very night and an ample bag of quality weed. He said he wouldn't be using it and hoped we would have a good time. We did. One of the best concerts I have been to. Very good live. Not everyone is.
Thanks for the reminder! Thought I'd share it.
I've never owned this album, but Yes had a lot of good songs.
Fun reading your related memories, and IMO you get vocab points for the correct (or any) use of imbroglio😄. A few fewer, but still bonus points for circumspection 👍
The album name is 90125 (named after its bar code SKU number) and really is good from start to finish. Give it a listen and you will say "Oh yeaaaah, I remember that one too!" The concert I attended was for the follow-up album Big Generator. Perhaps you recall the song that got lots of airplay from it, "Shoot High, Aim Low."
Thanks for the points. Is there a prize booth at which I can exchange points? I'm out of triangle pencil grips.
I love Yes, but not that song so much. It's OK.
shareI don't love Yes, but this is one of their songs I like. It suddenly popped into my head and wouldn't leave. This was the only way I could exorcise it. (Not that I particularly wanted to exorcise it, but, you know, it'd become an ear worm I couldn't rid myself of.)
shareIt was a big pop song in the 80's. It gave Yes a pop fanbase, but also confused a lot of longtime Yes fans. I mean to go from 20 minute songs with classical influences and progressive riffs to this was pretty surprising.
shareI was meant to see Yes in just over a weeks time at The Royal Albert Hall, London. Postponed until 2021.
