EXTD=meback album, 90125, Big Generator was also a million-selling hit
EXTD=, although not as successful as its predecessor, probably because
EXTD= the singles "Love Will Find a Way" (#30) and "Rhythm of Love" (#
EXTD=40) couldn't match "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from the previous LP
EXTD=, even if they were favorites on AOR radio at the time. Actually,
EXTD= it was the title track that was a carbon-copy of "Owner," so may
EXTD=be that was the problem. More likely, though, "Owner" was a one-s
EXTD=hot (courtesy of producer Trevor Horn), and as Yes asserted itsel
EXTD=f more here, they reverted more to their old style, making for so
EXTD=me confusion. Nevertheless, this album was the group's last major

EXTD=can legitimately be viewed as a modern masterpiece. Atmospheric,
