Impressive article considering some of the people they talked to have been dead for years.

I wouldn't even call it second-rate Pink Floyd, even though it was recorded a full year after Piper. "Interstellar Overdrive" is great because of the unpredictable and atonal elements, whereas "So Boot If At All" just sounds like crappy jazz.

Mike Ratledge could play circles around Rick Wright. Robert Wyatt was well advanced beyond Mason as a drummer.

And every member of Yes was a virtuoso, but I'd say 95% of their output is crap.

And I'd say you are 100% incorrect.
