Plus, "Sandinista" bores the ass off me. There's never been any excuse for triple albums (awaits reciminations from angry Yes and ELP fans).
Not too keen on ELP, but Yes, from The Yes Album through to Going For The One, were magnificent. It's not all Van Der Graaf and Krautrock on this boat. Tales From Topographic oceans is a great work. I'd rather be inspired by a Yogi than a middle class 'punk' any day. All that spitting and vulgar to-do. Dreadful trousers as well. Go one, Popel, give Topographic Oceans a try, you know you want to, deep down. It could be the start of something quite beautiful.
