AI will never be able to beat the knowledge of true Yes afficiandos : below is what ChatGPT produced on the history of Yes band members :
Yes is a British progressive rock band that was formed in London in 1968. Over the years, the band has undergone numerous lineup changes, with various members joining and leaving the group at different points in its history.
The original lineup of Yes consisted of vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Peter Banks, keyboardist Tony Kaye, and drummer Bill Bruford. This lineup recorded the band's first two albums, "Yes" (1969) and "Time and a Word" (1970), before Banks was replaced by guitarist Steve Howe in 1970.
This new lineup of Anderson, Squire, Howe, Kaye, and Bruford went on to record the classic Yes albums "The Yes Album" (1971), "Fragile" (1971), and "Close to the Edge" (1972). However, Kaye left the band after "Close to the Edge" and was replaced by keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who played on the albums "Tales from Topographic Oceans" (1973), "Relayer" (1974), and "Going for the One" (1977).
After "Going for the One," Anderson and Wakeman left the band, and were replaced by vocalist Trevor Horn and keyboardist Geoff Downes, who played on the album "Drama" (1980). However, this lineup did not last long, and the band went through several more lineup changes over the next decade, with various members coming and going.
In 1983, Anderson, Squire, and White reunited with guitarist Trevor Rabin and keyboardist Tony Kaye (who had returned to the band) to record the album "90125," which became a huge commercial success and featured the hit singles "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "Leave It." This lineup of the band continued to record and tour together throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, releasing albums such as "Big Generator" (1987) and "Union" (1991).
In the mid-1990s, Anderson left the band again, and was replaced by vocalist Jon Davison for the albums "Fly from Here" (2011) and "Heaven & Earth" (2014). Meanwhile, Squire continued to play with the band until his death in 2015. Today, Yes is still active and continues to perform and record new music with a lineup that includes Steve Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes, Billy Sherwood, and Jon Davison.

) and when Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes walked on, and have Anderson leaving for the second time in the mid-90s, when he actually left in the mid to late 00s. They also have Jon Davison singing on Fly From Here, completely omitting Benoit David, who actually sang on that album. Alan White only seems to enter the picture in 1983 (Actually in 1972), and it's strongly implied that Trevor Rabin had had a previous stint with the band (Though he didn't) by saying he "rejoined' Yes in 1983.
