Aye, it's been downhill ever since.

And thank God for that!

It's ironic I just read that Jon Anderson is the supposed Godfather of punk singer Ariana Forster of the punk group "Slits" who died this week..

YouTube - The Slits I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Strange coincidence that while Johnny Rotten, who became her step-father was banging on about hippies... :mosher::mosher::mosher:

The Gonzo Daily: NEWS: Jon Anderson the Accrington Ambassador

Re: Jon Anderson of the 70's group "YES"
 

Good for him. I might even forgive him for all the self-indulgent, navel-gazing, yawn-inducing prog rock he's produced over the last 40-odd years.

Re: Jon Anderson of the 70's group "YES"
 

I'm sure I once saw you carrying a copy of Yes's first album under your arm at Accrington Grammar School.

Re: Jon Anderson of the 70's group "YES"
 

Never in a thousand years!

Re: Jon Anderson of the 70's group "YES"
 

Well think Jon will make a great Ambassador............Slong as they don't play his music at half times.:D:eek:

Re: Jon Anderson of the 70's group "YES"
 

Nothing wrong with a bit of Yes... However if they played 'Close to the Edge' half time would have to be extended!

Re: Jon Anderson of the 70's group "YES"
 

One thing's for sure...Alvin will be absolutely over the moon about it. Prog rock and Stanley - his two major passions together! :D

Re: Jon Anderson of the 70's group "YES"
 

"Yes" your right there Wyn:D:D

I enjoy the music of Vangelis.
(Instrumental music is more to my taste - most human voices are 'imperfect instruments')

Amongst my Vangelis collection, John Anderson performs in some.
I wouldn't have bought those CDs to hear John Anderson, and did notice that his voice is pitched higher than most men.

Although he doesn't sing off key, I don't consider myself a 'fan' of his.
