Few prog rock bands were as progressive as Yes, the band that released triple-LP albums about oceans and pioneered intricate song suites.
Far and away the longest lasting and most successful of the '70s progressive rock groups, Yes proved to be one of the lingering success stories from that musical genre. The band, founded in 1968, overcame a generational shift in its audience and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band. Where rivals such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer withered away commercially after the mid-'70s, and Genesis and King Crimson radically altered their sounds, Yes retained the same sound and repertoire they were doing in 1971. ~ Bruce Eder
