It has been announced that Chris Squire died over the weekend.

All through my teen years at college and University barely a day would go by without Yes taking a spin on my turntable. When I want to immerse myself in music Yes is still my first port of call. I don't think anyone has bettered Fragile or Close to the Edge in the world of progressive rock.

I was planning to go and see Yes when they came to the UK next year but with the passing of Chris and Wakeman and Anderson no longer in the fold I fear there sound will be too 'diluted'.

"Onward through the night..."
 
I was never into Yes, not sure Why, although Roundabout was and is one of my all time favorite songs. Takes me back to my Ute every time I hear it. The bass lines in that song were amazing.


Sad to hear Chris Squire has died.
 
Yes did surprisingly well live for a band that really had a lot of complex studio stuff.
They were scheduled here about two years ago but had to cancel due to Squire's illness.

The musicianship of Yes was amazing. I enjoyed the whole Art Rock genre: Yes, ELP, King Crimson, early Genesis, et al, Rock and Roll musicians trying to elevate the music so it would be on par with classical music. It wasn't the most danceable stuff, nor was it the most commercially successful stuff, but it made for some great listening.

I'd add Pink Floyd to that list.
