The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Giving them a listen now. WELLLL sounds like 80s Yes! Super cool.

Any comparable songs by Yes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's definitely more in line with 80s Yes - albums like 90125 and later Big Generator and maybe Talk, basically more punchy rock with prog elements peppered in.
