S2: Episode 8: Shining Flying Purple Podcast

On some episodes it's our duty here at An Embarrassment of Prog to dive into the obscure byways of progressive rock. But not this time! We are positively thrilled to kick off a two-part examination of a pair of masterpieces by a group that could lay claim to being the most successful act of the classic 1970s prog era: Yes. Today Charlie, Henry, and Bill endeavor to put a smile upon your face, to confide in battleships and and show you where they are, and with a little help from Messrs. Bruford, Kaye, Howe, Anderson, and Squire to send you satisfied and on your way. Starship trooper, come on board as An Embarrassment of Prog sails into the musical sun that is 1971's The Yes Album.
