Just a few days ago, I bought Fragile as my first Yes album (my only serious exposure to prog otherwise has been Genesis). First of all, I would definitely like to say I am immensely impressed, though I do still like Selling England better. But that's not the point. While Chris Squire's talents are readily apparent to me, for some reason I seem to be missing something with Bill Bruford.
I really want to appreciate Bill like everybody else does and see why he's one of the greatest drummers of all time, and I realize this is only my first Yes album, but I'm just straining to hear what makes him so special. Just as a side note, I always tend to have this problem with drummers; it took forever for the greatness of Stewart Copeland to dawn on me, for example. I definitely think the problem is on my end, not Bill's.
So could somebody give me a specific song, instance, or section to watch out for on Fragile as far as drumming is concerned? That would be greatly appreciated.
