Yes

The twenty eighth selection returns us back to the never ending Rock and Roll Hall of Fame question of inducting Progressive Rock acts. As a key player in the Progressive Rock movement; Yes was an impressive outfit regardless of which lineup they had.


Throughout the 70’s, Yes was best known for their epic albums, utilizing classical components infused with the modern. A Yes album (or concert) could be counted on to provide the best platform to showcase the individual skills of its members, of which those skills are bountiful. In the 80’s they shortened their songs and achieved some of their greatest commercial success, yet were able to do so without departing form their Progressive Rock roots. After going through multiple members and watching many other musical styles form and die around them, their culture of proficiency and progression always remained intact. They are another on the list of Progressive Rockers with a shot should the genre get any love from the Hall
