Song the epitomizes your feelings on that decade - "Close to the Edge," Yes

* I'm not sure how to answer the question. This was not Yes' best work, yet they remained active and were still my favorite band.

I'm really unhappy with that list. It looks too narrow, like I only listen to 2-3 groups or albums. I certainly lean to one genre of music (prog), but I listen to lots of stuff.
