The Yes album Big Generator

Stay big, my people!

The Yes album 90125
#NowSpinning: Once Yes migrated away from their prog stank and into their synthpop era, they created one of my favorite albums from the '80s. I just replaced the needle on my tt, and whenever I do that, I gotta give this a spin exclusively for the syncopation on Hold On.
