Close to the edge is their only album that could be considered a masterpiece. Their most underrated album is the self titled debut, check it out if you haven't already.

My introduction to Yes was the fantastic reformation concert in Montreux. I have since listened to all of their old stuff and think it's fantastic. The Yes Album is my favourite, followed by Close to The Edge and then Fragile, and then their underrated debut.

Probably the definition of the overblown rock dinosaurs of the 70s that punk was trying to rebel against. But yet, you cannot argue with the great musicianship, the extra-ordinary guitar work of Steve Howe (quite unique) and caped keyboard crusader that was Rick Wakeman. And they did write some classics - Starship Trooper and Awaken to name but two.

One of the most original sounding bands I've ever listened to. Their music is fresh and zany.Incredibly talented song writers.

Romanelli... what are you talking about? First of all your punctuation needs revision (Lyrically?). Also you claim Yes is lyrically the worst band in history and you give one song for your example? That's an awfully huge claim for only having one example. By the way I read the example you gave and I have read much, much worse. You should try modern country music or commercial/radio pop if you want to find truly awful lyrics. Progressive rock never died it influenced much of the music out there to this day. I seriously doubt you know what you are talking about here.

Greatest progressive rock band of all time (although one could rightfully argue King Crimson, ELP, or Genesis since they also contributed to the founding of the genre). I think King Crimson was Yes's closest competition but they were a bit more experimental and psychedelic than Yes. I would say Yes was less experimental but tremendously effective in other obvious ways. So creative, so spontaneous, so influential, and such amazing musicians but at the same time so accessible especially considering how long their songs are. These guys were the complete package and had obviously mastered the technique of epic song-craft. 6 greatest Yes albums in order: Close To The Edge, Fragile, The Yes Album, Going For One, 90125, and Drama. I would highly recommend any of those six albums. Enjoy.

Yes still stands the test of time, one of the all time great bands. Favourite albums for me are Fragile and also Relayer

Yes, (pardon the pun) I have a few Yes albums but if I were to listen to them now, I've got to say, what was I thinking. With the exception of "The Yes Album", I would probably get through one or two tracks now & that's it. Having said this, I might pull an album or two out tonight & see where it takes me.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

One of the all time great bands.Tallent to burn.
