I've been tempted to learn to appreciate Yes...I only know of them what they play on the radio in West Texas (you can imagine). Are they one of those album bands---like Rush, the best stuff of which they won't play on the radio?

Yes, that's exactly what they are. I'd recommend The Yes Album as an introduction. ...Also check out Fragile (featuring "Roundabout"...their most popular song) and Close to the Edge.

[P.O.E.]

I think it used to be called AOR (Album-Oriented Rock), missing the point as only the music industry could.

I still find myself discovering albums and bands from the 70's and 80's that I never heard of, but have a lot to recommend them.
