04/12/2008 | This band deserves to be in. The band has featured a number of fine musicians through the years. Anderson is a fine singer. The song "And You and I" stands out especially. The reason that they are not in I attribute to a general prejudice, unconscious or otherwise, against groups that have been given the label prog-rock. For too many, prog-rock automatically equals self-indulgent. (Think of all the groups in this "category" not in the HOF: Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Procol Harum, King Crimson and the Moody Blues). It's time for the HOF to get beyond this. All the groups above had their share of good and great players. Sid Vicious couldn't even play the bass.

04/09/2008 | LastFM has finally pestered me into buying their 30th Anniversary Greatest Hits, and I consider it to be a very great purchase indeed. Not quite up to Rush's standard yet, but they are clearly an amazing band, and will grow on me quickly.

03/11/2008 | They sold out stadiums (100K+ capacity @ JFK in Phila.). They held the sell out record for MSG in the 70's (beating the Who and Zeppelin). They, Moody Blues, and Genesis did more for music than Madonna. I will not visit the Hall until all the Super Groups are in. In the 70's YES was one of those groups.

03/09/2008 | Not in the hall of fame? My guess is that the Hall looks for the hits. As we know, the prog convention of 6-10 minute pieces precludes any significant amount of radio play. All the worse for radio! Is this part of the reason Rush is not in yet?

03/08/2008 | I think that Yes is one of the bands that used synthesizers and electronic drums.

12/14/2007 | Inexcusable omission bordering on a music industry crime since it appears the members of YES (like other highly deserving potential nominees) are being snubbed by a few industry power brokers and denied their rightful acclaim as the Rock Superstars that they are. See: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298681,00.html

By the way, I am a Progressive Rock fan and have noticed how much of this list reads like a Who's Who of Progressive Rock's Greatest. It's a crime that a very real part of Rock is being blacklisted on the personal whims of a few.

12/13/2007 | Perhaps the most popular and influential of the prog rock bands, the only reason this enduring group is not in the Hall of Fame is the obvious bias against this style of music. Though there has been a revolving door of musicians at times, the sound, the style, the quality of music has always been there. Grow up voters, accept the fact that prog rock is as worthy of induction as disco.

12/13/2007 | Yes has been the most influential progressive band ever. Many new bands like porcupine tree, dream theater and even Rush would not be possible if it was not for this talented group. Tell Mr. Rolling stone himself to get off his high horse and stop disregarding progressive rock as a complete miss non entity for the Pre voted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yes has a potential 40 year concert coming up and this would be a boost to a group that has entertained for years.

11/27/2007 | Rush definitely...and soon. But without Yes there is no Rush. Most of Rush's 70's catalog was influenced by Yes....heavily influenced by Yes. Don't believe me...watch a Geddy Lee interview. Yes is, and always will be, the kings of Progressive Rock. They took an art-form that is usually too complex and esoteric for the masses and made it accesible to all..

10/17/2007 | How can Yes have been overlooked? They have written some brilliant music. Fragile is a great album.

10/05/2007 | Yes has influenced music for nearly 40 years! They should have been inducted into The Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame a long time ago!
