I'm a HUGE Yes fan who didn't put them in my historical top 5, because of their slide into bloat and pretention (which I love anyway).
But I put them in my honorable mention because of their technical ability (Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, Alan White and Rick Wakeman are/were gifted musicians), their long-term success and their influence.
For good or bad, their virtuoso musicianship combined with vocal harmonies influenced many 70s and 80s bands (Boston, Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, etc.)
