Yes, "Yes" is an album band and you should buy them all, but if you're looking for a single disc collection, this is pretty good. Even at just 12 tracks, it does at least include their biggest hits. "I've Seen All Good People", "Roundabout", "Long Distance Runaround", and the huge hit "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" are all included. Me being a child of the 80's, I'm really glad this has "Leave It" and "Rhythm Of Love", but I wish it also had "It Can Happen" and "Love Will Find A Way". Oh well, what can you do. One thing for sure, the last three tracks sound very 80's, while the rest of course has that 70's feel to it, which I guess makes sense. Overall this is an excellent dose of classic rock, and a good sampling of classic "Yes".

I was seeking the best stuff from the 70s and early 80s. I wanted that unique sound and style that made them great. This album is all you need if you are a casual fan or not. "Starship Trooper","I've seen all good people" and "Roundabout" are supreme displays of this bands ability and far reaching songwriting and talent.

As the name of the release suggests...this is a disc of highlights. There is certainly essential Yes on this compilation although at only 12 songs, there are quite a few gems omitted. It was refreshing, however, to see that "Going for the One" was included! It's a great budget release, but certainly a teaser. Fans will want to jump to their boxed sets or a more lengthy best of, however it's tough to pens Yes' essential without hearing all of their classic releases.

I'm possibly the biggest Yes fan around, I enjoyed all their incarnations, and like Genesis, Yes were an ALBUM GROUP, THEREFORE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPILE THEM PROPERLY.

I can't believe there's only 2 songs off 90125, why not include "Hold on", It Can Happen", "Changes", "Our Song", "City Of Love" and the GRAMMY AWARD WINNING instrumental "Cinema"?

"The very best of Yes" paints a WOEFULLY INCOMPLETE PICTURE of a prolific band. You'd be doing yourself a grave disservice by not picking up the individual albums, which I recommend instead.

But it is a good introduction to an ordinary music fans who are not accustomed to grand scale prog masterpieces. As it was released in 1993 when people still remember the glories of 80s great melodic rock masters. And for most of music fans Yes was part of melodic rock history represented by Asia/Survivor styled hits such as Owner of A Lonely Heart, and Love Will Find A Way. If you like 80s melodic rock superstars such as Asia, Survivor, Journey, Styx and Foreigner, it is definitely a must have because it shows progressive rock was fathers to those bands. Particularly Yes influence is immense for the development of melodic rock during late 70s. My favorites from this collection include Survival(very melodic indeed!) and I've Seen All Good People and Leave It as well as No.1 hit Owner of A Lonely Heart. Modern day prog appreciators who love Dream Theater or Transatlantic may, however, need different collections such as Classic Yes.
