Yes

Progressive rock
Progressive rock

Yes is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of The Buggles, Robbie Nevil, Godley & Creme, T. Rex and Simon & Garfunkel. Those roots explain a lot about how Yes arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Genesis and Camel, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Working For A Nuclear Free City, Origami Angel, The Buggles, Faraquet and Ike Willis, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 118 connections around Yes, reaching back through The Buggles and forward to Working For A Nuclear Free City.
