711 - My Top 5 70's albums by Rick Wakeman

·29 min·1 clip

Criminal Record's Side A is nearly perfect when it includes Chris Squire and Alan White—Side B's orchestra work can't compete.

Yes Music Podcast's 711th episode features host Mark Anthony Kaye ranking the top 5 Rick Wakeman solo albums from the 1970s. He establishes clear critical criteria (memorable songwriting and sonic quality), then explores albums 5-3 in detail: Journey to the Center of the Earth (live recording challenges), Criminal Record (collaboration benefits), and No Earthly Connection (overlooked vocal concept work). The episode advocates for lesser-known Wakeman records while educating listeners on progressive rock production and Yes band dynamics.
