for some people, sure. The prog rock crowd, for People who are down with Rush, King Crimson and especially early Genesis, Yes is absolutely a top 5 band. Yes was everything that was good about prog rock...

Fair enough. I guess I always thought of Prog rock has a misuse of talent. Not wasted, just misused.

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.) |
