Nice to see and digest a multitude of five-star ratings from obviously intelligent music fans. I am a Genesis fan first BUT, I will concede that Close to the Edge, along with Foxtrot by my dudes, is the single most relevant album in music history. People, this album is PERFECT. The title suite takes you places unheard of and features unparalled musicianship by Bruford/Howe/Squire/Wakeman; And You And I resonates in it majestic glory, counterbalancing Howe and Wakeman's bombast with Squire and Bruford's dynamic restraint; and Siberian Khatru is Yes getting down and dirty. If you want one of the "holy grails" of progressive rock, it is indeed Close to the Edge.
