Has cheered me up for over 40 years. I love their music and they've always been great on stage, be it a large or a small venue.

Been a fan of The Who, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Pink Floyd and other rock dinosaurs for decades at a time but today Yes is my must listen to and I recon 40 years is a lifetime.

Who's with me?

My favorite Yes song. Brings me back to high school and playing D&D with my buddies in the library.

I'm not sure they are at the top of my list of bands but they have a lot of good stuff and talented members. Many of their songs have stood the test of time.
The middle 60's and 70's had so many that are still worth listening to, even though tastes change over time.

I'm with you, Nicki! Yes and Tull are my favorite bands from the old era and still listen to them regularly. I've been fortunate to see both bands several times and watched them change and evolve over time. Music that really makes you think.

My No. 2 behind only Rush.

Both winners in my book.
The music I grew up listening to with my dad (I'm 32).

With you big-time.

I got into Yes in the late 70's when I was about 12. They've been my favorite band since.

I've seen them many times over the years but without question the best show I ever saw, out of all the shows of all the performers I've ever been to, was the Reunion tour show when they played in the round. That was almost a religious experience.

I saw that show too....twice! It was great!!!

I also wanted to add that Yes was the first concert I ever attended. Relayer tour at the Boston Garden in 1974. In fact, it's almost the anniversary. Dec. 11, 1974.

I also just noticed that Tales From Topographic Oceans was released today, in 1973.

I love Yes; as a kid, Fragile was one of my earliest "real" rock n roll albums, Roundabout sold me. I completely regret not seeing them live before Chris Squire passed. I still listen to Yes on a monthly basis.

I really like them too, saw them live in the late seventies.

I have never seen them live. I stumbled across them in the 80's so I was in the pop era when they did 90125 and Big Generator. To this day I love to listen to them and frankly, it is sublime. I just dont have a better word for them. Here is probably my favorite:

I'm with you 0-0. I've been a big fan since 1971. Close to the Edge was my favorite album for a long time. I have seen them twice in 1974. Once in 1978,1980 and 2009. The first concert was on the Tales From Topographic Oceans tour and it was in quadrophonic sound. When Rick Wakeman got down on the synthesizer at the first of The Revealing Science Of God he blew my head apart, it was awesome. The whole band were just great musicians. When I saw them in 2009 Asia opened the show with Steve Howe on guitar, then he played with Yes. Still a great one.

Yes is good stuff. Big Generator is a great album.

I love Yes, and have since ‘71.
As a guitar player for over 45 years, I am continually amazed by Steve Howe and Chris Squire’s abilities. I hear something new every time I listen to their music.

Close to the Edge is one of my all time favourite albums.
I've loved Yes since I was a kid. My little brother is a professional musician and got to jam with Howe when he was on tour in Poland.

Huge fan for 30 years now. I was introduced to them in high school and the sound has just stuck with me.

Fragile is what got it started for me, but Going for the One really set the deep hook.

The one that means the most to me is Tormato because I found it in brand new in vinyl, pre-internet, when it was still out of print. Circus of Heaven is not nearly one of their most popular songs, but it has always stuck in my head and I just love the story it tells.

I was never an explicit fan, though I liked their classic hits like "Owner of a Lonely Heart". However, the title song they made for "Homeworld", the computer game, is epic.

I didn't learn of Yes until the mid 80s.

They are on my playlist at work along with Kansas, Boston, Marshall Tucker Band etc..

Been a YES fan since I was about 11 or 12...big brother listened to them, so that's how I got hooked. Who didn't air drum to Roundabout??? Relayer and Close to the Edge...just pure musical GENIUS!! I cried the day Chris Squire passed away. We're ALL getting older.
