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

[Footballfrenzy2021]

I love it
I turn the volume up loud

[quote Ihaventgottimeforthis]And if you haven't heard him singing Misty Blue you really need to...

oh my.. what a voice 😳💕

I love it! It's on my all time favourites play list

[quote funnelfanjo]YY @AlbertBridge It’s a great song as far as it goes, but It feels half written. Verse, chorus. Repeat. Noodle away. End.

10/10 for sentiment but I prefer Falling tbh. Saw them live around that time and a wonderful combination of perfect voice and guitar.

Those violins...

Yes! Love it!

[/quote] That is just beautiful. Thanks for that.

@QueenBee52 it is isn’t it?

Just like “Yes”, it’s got David’s voice, Bernards guitar, the soaring violins and the emotional lyrics and I want to turn the volume up to 11 and sing along. BUT it’s also got a tradition pop song structure of two verses/choruses and even a bridge before the final chorus. And a proper ending rather than a fade.

Just perfect.

Yes and Weak, Skunk Anansie - absolute bangers.

Yes, it was Fibbers! Were you there? RIP Fibbers x

@Wrongsideofhistorymyarse I had forgotten about that version of Diamonds Are Forever. Brilliant. And not too many men (or women) could pull off that white jumpsuit and feather boa ensemble!!

I have always absolutely LOVED this song, my husband can't understand it, he doesn't think it's good. I don't understand people who don't think it's brilliant!

I'll be a sourpuss

Had never heard it before and, now that I have, I don't feel any richer for it.

It’s.....OK!
I enjoy hearing it, but wouldn't dwell on it. Nice tune, good singing, but quite forgettable; pleasant but underwhelming. I’m a bit surprised by the adoration on this thread, TBH.

And did someone really say that Size of a Cow was one of the best bsongs of the 90s? It’s like a bad novelty record - silly bouncy tune, crap lyrics and awful ‘singing’ 😂

Incredible song. Always stays with me.

Same Not even sure how I've never heard it before, I was in my 20s in the 90s.

Check out their performance on Later with Jools Holland from the 90’s - that’s when it got me

Absolutely OP! I’m young again when I hear that song. I can practically smell the CK One

I remember that well...

@StCharlotte

1996: The Greatest Hits is on Channel 5 right now. Bopping round the living room to Children...

I must apologise if anyone spent three hours watching that only for the top ten to include Toni Braxton and number one was the Spice Girls No. 30 was Jamiroquai which I love. I had such high hopes

I loved that whole album, played it to death. Only bought it because the guy in the record shop I always used (I must've spent thousands in there so he knew I would love it) recommended it, one of his better suggestions still haven't forgiven him for the At the Drive-In album and Yes is my favourite track

One of my all time favourites

I love it. I have it on my favourites Amazon playlist. Definitely to be played loudly

As soon as I saw the partial title of this thread in trending, I knew it was going to be about Yes.

SO YOU WANNA KNOW ME NOOOOW!!!!

Fucking tune!

I saw David McAlmont do a solo set at the jazz cafe and halfway through I turned round and realised Bernard Butler was standing behind me. I squeaked incoherently at my friend, who didn’t believe me, until he pushed right past me through the crowd, passing inches from my face as I gibbered with excitement, and joined McAlmont on stage to play Yes. Best gig.

Cuddly Toy and Size of a Cow? Nah

Yes? Ja
