Yes - (1977) Going for the One

"Close To The Edge", "Fragile" or "Tales From Topographic Oceans" were better records, but "Going For The One" includes the best song of Yes ever recorded, and that's "Awaken"! A superb and brilliant masterpiece with great keys of Rick Wakeman and the angel-voice of Jon Anderson made this one to something very special. Only for "Awaken" I must give a 'Highly Recommended' ! But all other songs are also very good, as ever on an Yes-album of the 70's !

Studio Album, released in 1977
