Yes is a ’70–’80s band that is not really known other than for being the band that did roundabout featured in the <==To=Be=Continued== meme. They actually have some really good songs. One of their good songs is ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ in the 90125 album, one of their more short songs compared to the others. Featuring instruments you wouldn’t really hear in a 70’s band (usually what Yes does). They’re really good at mixing instruments to make it sound like a totally different one giving it an amazing feel. Their main singer is and sounds British, personally my favorite British singer. Yes’ main category is instrumental so little to no lyrics but their music is so unique to the point that they can get an idea through just with music. One of their most popular, and 2x platinum the ‘Fragile’ album is fantastic. The Fragile album also reached no. 4 on the US billboard top LPs upon its release. They have 17 platinum’s in total. Here is a song from that album.

Small bands like Yes really make me wonder what other bands do differently to become so popular and known. It’s a well-rounded band that should have been really popular back in the '80s. There are so many good bands out there that were never discovered when they should have been and certainly Yes isn’t as small as other bands but I feel like they should’ve had more fans than they already do. Steve Howe their main guitarist is probably one of the best guitarists of all time and also really underrated. So please if you ever have a craving for ‘80s songs or just want to listen to something try Yes!
