Yes (band)

Yes is an English rock band who achieved success with their progressive, art and symphonic style of music. The band's current line-upconsists of singer Jon Davison, guitarist Steve Howe, bass guitarist Chris Squire, keyboardist Geoff Downes, and drummer Alan White.

They have released 20 studio albums, 10 live albums, 32 compilation albums, 34 singles and 19 video releases. Nine of their twenty studio albums have reached the top ten in either the UK or the US charts, with two reaching the number one spot in the UK. They have sold 13.5 million certified units in the US.

Squire formed Yes in 1968 with singer Jon Anderson and the band's early works were a mix of original material and cover versions by other artists. In 1980, Anderson and Wakeman left the band and the album Drama featuring keyboardist Geoff Downes and new vocalist Trevor Horn was released. The band disbanded at the beginning of 1981, with Howe and Downes subsequently creating Asia.

Yes reformed in 1982 with Anderson, Squire, White, original keyboardist Kaye and guitarist Trevor Rabin and adopted a more pop rock sound. Their album 90125, which was released in 1983, included the US number one single "Owner of a Lonely Heart". This was followed by Big Generator in 1987 and the two albums helped increase sales for the band.

The band toured worldwide between 1997 and 2004 that included their 30th and 35th anniversary shows. In 2011, they released their latest album, Fly from Here.
