The Most Musically Complex Band in Rock History

"They were there before progressive rock was really formed." This is the definitive story of Yes, one of the most virtuosic and ambitious bands in rock history, who broke every rule to create their iconic sound. The Core Sound: The band's creation of their sonic identity, focusing on John Anderson's alto voice and ethereal lyrics (5:46:00), Chris Squire's highly melodic, trebly bass (00:07:26), and Bill Bruford's jazz-influenced drumming.
