I saw Yes at Miami University in concert supporting this album. At the end of the concert the stage lighting slowly descended and revealed itself to be some sort of starship. Each band member played a protracted solo over Starship Trooper and ascended a ramp into the ship. And then the ramp closed and the ship took off.

90125 is one of the few times a monumental band from the previous decades did something good in the 80’s. That decade ruined so many artists, who succumbed to the over-processing over-production of that reactionary era of political conservatism.

That said, the previous two Yes albums are extremely overlooked (Drama, Tormato). And the extraordinary thing about that magnificent band was the lineup changes for each of those records. Only Chris Squire and Alan White played on each of them. Drama was the first time an outside singer sung lead; and then again on 90125, Anderson sharing lead on some songs with Rabin.

There’s also Sandy Nurse, who’s doing some righteous things today, heh…twitter.com... She’s the third person on the city council now who I can think of who was a frequent attendee of Occupy Wall St (Jumanee Williams and the guy from Wash Hts whose name escapes me now). Oh wait, there’s also Julie Salazar, maybe a couple of others. But Salazar is a state rep though, isn’t she?

Digging the stuff, Pseu.

@Tom yeah, Howe is there, but not the big one. Then Tony Kaye comes back for the big one, after leaving the band ten years before. For keyboards it was Wakeman, then Geoff Downes, then Kaye. Wild that they had so many lineup changes but managed to retain that Yes essence. Trevor Horn’s singing and melodies on Drama areeerily right in there with Anderson’s.

@drr I’m so aghast too that there’s any nostalgia at all for that decade. The very worst pop music (chart stuff), fashion, politics, pop culture, popular movies, etc. Nationalistic and over the top capitalist bullshit. The Gordon Gekko decade. Where’s my eight ball and cigar?

And I graduated college in the 80’s like Woods. But looking back most of that stuff that was “on the radio” and played over and over in MTV just doesn’t stand up.

Yup.

Top Gun and Rambo crap, private clubs with doormen and velvet ropes, real estate tv shows, Get Rich Quick scams everywhere, piles of unsolicited credit cards arriving in the mail to any and everyone, “personal injury lawyers” cropping up like weeds, commodification of personal relationships, Business Economics majors (all over my school) who went straight to Wall St, the denigration of the collective community replaced by worship of the Rich, etc.

Shows like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous epitomized the era for me.

The 80’s sucked sooooo bad…

The low point of 80's music for me was Starship singing "We Built This City (on Rock and Roll". SO bad. Especially since they wrote "Jane" just a few years prior.....But c'mon the Talking Heads hit it big in the 80s'. And so did The Knack! (or was that 1979??). And King Crimson did Discipline in 1982. Some GREAT music in the 80's.
Whenever ANYBODY tells me "they don't make good music like the 60's or 70's I say just tune into WFMU For a couple days and you will find all the new good music you need!

Very late 80’s. And definitely aren’t at all what people think of when they think of “the 80’s.” That being Wham, Ohil Collins, Kenny Loggins, Whitney Houston, Bruce Hornsby, Bob Jovi, Peter Cetera, ugh…god, I’m getting nauseous.

La’s were never played on radio here. That crap above was.

In the 80s I was really excited when R.E.M. arrived, it seemed so *not* of the zeitgeist, but it eventually caught up to them too.

The future appreciation and praising of '80s music has nothing to do with us old-as-hell fukks who lived through it.

LPs from the 1960s litter my house from top to bottom, and I think I have maybe one memory from the '60s involving my diaper.

I'm fully in agreement that there was good music and stuff happening in the 80s. I just think it's funny that people have nostalgia for the decade itself. I don't think it's based on real memories of the time. It might be that younger people have seen John Hughes movies and think it was really like that.
