Yes    UK

Years active

1968-1981    1983-2004    2009-2020s

Yes, formed in 1968,

was known for its blend of rock,

jazz, folk and classical influences

and also for its complex time signatures

and pristine vocal harmonies.

One of the first of the so-called progressive

(or prog) rock bands

— among the others were King Crimson

and Emerson, Lake & Palmer —

it went on to become

the most successful and longest-lasting.

The first Yes albums to reach a wide

international audience

were the group’s third and fourth,

“The Yes Album” (1971) and “Fragile” (1972),

both released in the United States on Atlantic.
