Yes.

No, mostly.

So, no.

Me, I'm going to go with NOT CRAP today. I'm feeling generous.

Wait, I'm assuming 'yes' means NOT CRAP. These non-analagous binaries are confusing. They must scale!

Takin' one for the team here
I like a few of their songs, though (remember hearing a couple in the Vinnie Gallo movie Buffalo '66)

Tales From Topographic Oceans Of CRAP.

Rick Wakeman solo is so funny as to be NOT CRAP.

Close to the Edge, Fragile, Relayer = ok

All else = nope.

I listened to Yes all the time in my youth, & saw them once in maybe 1982 or something... I hardly remember the show. But I picked up Yessongs last summer before a drive to St. Louis, and boy did I drive fast & howl along to that shit. That singer can really squeak. The drumming is great, great rock grooves which most drummers in similar bands never seemed to play.

I don't know if they were ever subtle in any way. It was all excess and bombast, musically, conceptually, lyrically, etc. Still I like them.

My first introduction to Yes was the bass in Roundabout

I saw Yes in 1976-
Steve Howe did great seagulls from hell stuff on the pedal-steel. Alan White had a whole set of North Drums behind his regular kit, and Chris Squire did the Yessongs/Fish solo w/ the Moog Taurus Bass pedals and everyone thought the arena was going to cave in.

Not Crap.
