Prog Album of the Week - Week 71 (02/04/2015): Yes - Yessongs

As always, we encourage participation from everyone - if you've never heard the album, there's a YouTube link provided! Go check it out and report back!

Welcome to the seventy-first week of r/progrockmusic's Album of the Week! Last week we discussed Muse's Origin of Symmetry and that was lovely.

If you'd like to peruse previous weeks' discussions, please visit the archive.

Another live album, this one is absolutely fundamental to anyone's prog collection.

####Potential Discussion Questions:

• My vote for Yes' best record. This one really showcases all that Yes has to offer (as of 1973, anyway). Which songs do you think benefit most from a live format?

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
