My Favorite 1111 Tracks (In No Particular Order): Yes "I've Seen All Good People"

There are so many things Yes does right in this early track. While prog-rock and much of Yes' middle period can be dense, heavy, aimless and boring, "I've Seen All Good People" manages to begin light on its feet and is lushly melodic. The core of the song is an optimistic anthem that still manages to weave like a great boxer through perfect 60's harmonies, infectious and gigantic instrumental sections and huge 70's guitar riffs. No one made music like Yes in their prime, before or since.
