Yes' Best Albums Ranked
From virtuoso epics to surprising AOR smashes, MOJO maps out the titans of prog's best work.
Yes was the most controversial band of the 1970s, with their album Tales From Topographic Oceans being routinely cited as the apogee of progressive rock bombast, yet it was a Number 1 hit in the UK.
Forget the Sex Pistols for a moment; a good case can be made for progressive rock titans Yes.
Today, "prog" is much less a term of abuse than it was even 10 years ago, and those who still write off Yes as new age noodlers ignore the band's strong melodic backbone.
