To say McAlmont & Butler - Yes - is one of the all time great songs

[Footballfrenzy2021]

I love it
I turn the volume up loud

Yes by Merry Clayton
Now that is a belter

Good song, not heard it before!

I've always loved it too! Didn't know it was widely loved, though. Or perhaps it isn't and ALL of its fans are on this thread 😀.

It’s a great song and in my head I link it with “ Never known a girl like you before” by Edwin Collins which I also had and is a classic IMO

Definitely. I saw them live in a small pub and when I was going to the loo I passed Bernard Butler and drunk ranted at him about how “fucking wonderful” his song was. He looked terrified and I don’t blame him.

YABU but only because this song pips it to the post.

Yanbu in that I agree and it is in one of my Top 10 of all time.

But Yabu to put it in AIBU. Not every fucking question on Mumsnet has to be framed for AIBU.

It's a banger. I love the 'I'm better without you' sentiment.

Yes! The singing is amazing contrasted with the instruments.

One of the best songs of the 90s That is a pretty low bar.

What? The '90s was one of the best decades for music EVER.

One of the best songs of all time OP

Love this song I feel well enough to tell you what you can do, with what you've got to offer!

It was my granny’s favourite song!

Just epic, bloody masterpiece!

Agreed! I've had to drive a lot for work lately and have made an epic 90s bangers playlist which includes this. I have also rediscovered Independent Love Song by Scarlet and realised I did not understand the lyrics as an 11 year old!

It's impossible to listen to it and not feel taller, stronger, better. The whole album is brilliant, but that song by itself is an absolute classic.

It’s an absolute classic and I love it. Crank it up and sing your heart out!

A bloody brilliant song 🎵 👏 ❤

What? The '90s was one of the best decades for music
After the 70's 80's 60's and the 50's but better than the 00's 10's granted

I tend to feel the music more than lyrics and it just soars. I get the same thing from Space Oddity too.

I love it too, it was my go to song in the 90's after my ex husband ceremonially dumped me after 14 months of marriage.... although he never wanted to be reunited after about 3 months he visited me and wanted to see that I was ok to appease his guilt and the lyrics from this song totally paralleled what happened.

LOVE

@sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea I’ve got it playing & im 6ft tall because that’s how it makes me feel. Loud & bloody alright

Absolutely but would be even better with another verse.

Brilliant song.
Absolute Radio 90's play it quite a lot, so the volume always goes up in the car.
