Hey it’s Debbie America here! Close is indeed a masterpiece. The vocals and melodies of Jon Anderson are spectacularly moving. To say its musicianship is brilliant is obviously redundant. Just listen to it. Yes Rick Wakeman’s solo is incendiary- ha! And honestly as brilliant as Keith Emerson in Tarkis is I think the Melodies in Wakeman’s solo are so much more soulful and elaborate. You say the punk movement was reacting against this! Pretentious! Why because they are brilliant musicians! The punk movement I thought was a reaction against Disco or dinosaur hair bands! I loved Elvis Costello though! But as far as the greatest prog Rock album! Indeed! But Dark Side of the Moon can’t be compared! They are so different! I remember Roundabout as a high radio hit! I read Sidhartha - we all read it! I’ve always loved Yes! But a revisit to Close to the Edge has been inspiring. So thanks for the review! I love Elements by the way ❤️ Now that’s a prog rock album! 😎
