Yes count among the most influential progressive rock bands of all time, formed in late 1960s London and known for their adventurous song structures, rich harmonies and pioneering use of keyboards and bass. Over the decades they have shaped the genre with complex studio albums and spectacular live performances, achieving worldwide recognition and a loyal fan base across generations. Major career milestones include multi-platinum success with albums such as "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge", as well as the chart-topping single "Owner of a Lonely Heart", which introduced their sound to a broader pop-rock audience. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Yes have continually reinvented themselves through changing line-ups while preserving a distinct sonic identity that has inspired countless bands in progressive rock, metal and alternative music.
