Yes did what they did as well as anyone and what they did, it could be argued, was more difficult to achieve than any other major band. On the basis of performance, arrangement and composition I believe this to be true.

Gee whizz mate. That's a bit controversial. To baldly state that. On a YES chat forum. Of all places. Not gonna say anythin'. Just gonna grab my popcorn. š👍 4 -
There is no 'best'.Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip itās been.👍 3Comment

I have always thought Yes was special due to a combination of factors including their songs, which are clearly unique for any genre of music, and their ability to play but what really strikes me as their most amazing facet is their vocal abilities and especially their awesome three part harmonies which are really tough to get right with people coming and going like they have. Jon was obviously a huge part of this but the foundation was Chris which is clear with his work on Drama and Cinema with the two Trevors.👍 3Comment

of course the answer is YES if the question refers to the classic Yes lineups of the 70s as well as more recent approximations such as ABWH who were fantastic live.👍 2Comment

The Beatles were the greatest rock band of all time in my opinion. Yes is my favorite rock band of all time. I think that Yes (and damned near everyone else) was heavily influenced by the Beatles. They took what the Beatles created, and forged ahead with their own ideas, and superior instrumentation, to create something new and interesting.👍 4Comment
