And to think that back at the height of their popularity, a group like YES were just “pop” musicians, with their level of musicianship.
The whole YES thing just hurts my head. They kinda to me anyway, existed in a world of their own. They weren’t anything in particular genrewise and the prog term really didn’t do justice to what they did or were.
I don’t know how anything that complex/deep ever hit a pop chart. But it did.
