100 Great Songs to Publish a Book to, #81: Yes, Parallels

One of the most upbeat, feel-good power tracks on this list.  I’ve always found Yes to be a little too ballsy, with their music lacking sufficient femininity.  Nevertheless, on many occasions they have hit the nail on the head.  In this track, we have one of the best bass parts ever written and multi-layered vocals which are ridiculously easy to sing along to, even if, as with a lot of Yes tracks, the lyrics don’t make much sense.  Even the booming church organ doesn’t sound out place.

Onslaught is available for pre-order at the special introductory price of $2.99 in the US here, in the UK here, in Canada here, and in Australia here.
