Yes - Drama: The last great prog album?
from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host timothyappleton
This week, Tim and Shaun had a chat about the tenth studio album by Yes, Drama. Topics covered included: the relative success of this rock-new wave mash-up; what the nature of the Yes-Horn/Downes collaboration was; whether the cover of the album was based on the songs; and whether this line-up should have made another album. Also, would the album have been better if Chris Squire had sung it? What were Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman drinking when they decided to leave the group? What is it like to go on your honeymoon with Steve Howe? Is Trevor Horn actually a camera? Should Man In A White Car actually have been called Newman In A White Car? And what did Eddy Offord do to that pigeon?
