I dig Rush and Yes, and take **** from Freddie about it.
Drew, I\'d stick with older Rush but all albums have their moments/tracks I skip over.  The new live DVD is good, lotsa older material.  The 3-disc live album "Different Stages" is a good starting point: has a \'93 show, a \'94 or \'95 show and a show from the \'70s which is my favorite of the 3.  Rush was the first big concert I ever saw back in 1993 (I think I was 12) and I saw them open their last tour in Hartford in 2002 which happened to be my 21st b-day.  Great shows!! Rush have more structued compositions and do jam out on them but you can\'t really expect massive improv and/or straying from the original form for 25 mins like you\'d get from say Phish.  It\'s really pointless to even compare Rush to bands like that anyway.  Both Rush and Yes use a more classical approach in terms of composition.
Yes is a cool band.  I saw them 3 times, and all were excellent especially the last one with Rick Wakeman on keys.  I\'d get the \'Fragile\' album, \'Close to the Edge\', and \'The Yes Album\' for starters.  They jam out a little more comparable to a "jamband"  than Rush.
BTW-  be wary of most releases of both bands in the \'80s. YUCK!!

For sure. YES always depends on the line up.  Steve Howe is waaaaaaaaay better than Trevor Rabin but Trevor has his moments.

Yes has some really amazing songs and some really lousy songs.  A total mixed bag.

The only two Rush songs I have heard are "Tom Sawyer" and "One Last Victory" (or something like that).  Any recommendations for good songs to hear the band is all about?

By the way, have you ever listened to a classic rock radio station for three hours and not heard "Tom Sawyer"?

... granted the same can be said for "Gimme Three Steps" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and "The Rising" by Bruce Springsteen.

how can anyone who claims to like music possibly say that yes and rush suck? check out yes\' \'close to the edge\' album some time and tell me it doesn\'t blow your mind from start to finish. also, i\'ve been lucky enough to see both yes and rush in concert and let me tell ya they both were among the top 10 shows i\'ve ever seen (and i\'ve seen a lot of classic shows). (yes may be in the top 5).
