Yes are an English progressive rock band that formed in London in 1968. Their music is marked by sharp dynamic contrasts, extended song lengths, abstract lyrics, and a general showcasing of instrumental prowess. Yes blend symphonic and other 'classical' structures with their own brand of musical style. Despite a great many lineup changes, occasional splits within the group and the ever-changing trends in popular music, the band has continued on for over forty years and still retains a large following.YES music, discography, MP3, videos and reviews

First song I've heard from YES was Long Distance Runaround and after that everything else is history. I was a teenager then when they released 90125 and Owner of a Lonely Heart, Cinema and Changes did changed my life! YES was one of the bands and the reason why I've been still rockin's after all these years. They're one of the best prog rock in the land! Thanks for sharing this lens! You've made a great deal of favor for YES! YES!
