C>Absolutely! Their self-titled debut is great too. _Child_ was actually their first, before David Clayton Thomas showed up (and Kooper left). I've got THAT one on LP, too.

Inasmuch as I can say that I dig _Drama_ but hate _Tales from Topographic Oceans_, but you may feel the other way around? If so, I can agree with you. --- * Origin: We're having Post FUN!! in KC at 816-942-5641 (1:280/103) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 182 60'S 70'S ROCK Ref: DDL00006Date: 09/15/96 From: JOSH RYMAN Time: 07:56pm \/To: BILL HARRIS (Read 3 times) Subj: Re: Silly Answer -- This was in a message from Bill Harris to David Marheine -- BH> DM> JR> IS there any such thing as a 'bad' Yes album?
