YES (The band)

[VicRattlhd502]

Any other YES fans here? Someone already started a Genesis thread
and a Pink Floyd thread here so I'll start one on
YES.

I saw YES live last November. Had 2nd row seats, was right in front
of Chris Squire! Absolutely amazing show, they played for
nearly three hours! I'ts hard to believe those guys are in their 50's
and they still perform amazingly tight, extended shows like they do. Jon Anderson can still hit the high notes like he did 30 years ago,
Steve Howe's guitar playing is intricately flawless, Rick Wakeman's
keyboard solo was awesome, as were Chris and Alan, too.

YES is a group that truly deserves to be inducted into the R & R
hall of fame.

I love Yes! Prog rock legends, they are! Fragile and Over The Edge are two of the best prog rock albums ever made!

 

[Death Cube K]

Never liked them. They seemed to be Progressive Rock for the popular crowd who usually dont get that type of music.

YES were great until mid seventies...

now they are history...but i don't like them no more...

Fragile
Close To The Edge
The Yes Album
are 3 monuments of progressive music, vital to every serious and good progressive band after them.

That might be true, but this may also be one of the reasons why I like their music. I think a lot of that progressive, psychedelic and acid rock many times went to far into experimenting and all that stuff instead of just writing good melodies. Yes could write good melodies and still be progressive and a bit crazy. Some of their stuff can also be a little too crazy for me though, but all in all I think they've made some good stuff and "Fragile" is the best album I have out of the 6 I have by them (if you don't count "Yesterdays" as it's in the pile that needs to be heard)! A great record!

Yes is great. Except I haven't listened to them since summer.

Yes rule!!!

 

[Tool]

Yes are trully awesome. Fragile is a prog masterpiece, and so is Close to the Edge... and Relayer... and the Yes album... etc.

YES is a legendary progressive band¡¡¡¡ Fragile is one of the best progressive albums ever done and Steve Howe was the first guitarrist who mixed classical music with rock.

I won't go so far as to call myself a Yes fan, but they are awefully good at what they do.
