What should Yes perform at the RRHOF ceremony?

I second this!

As far as who will show up---from the things they have said so far---Wakeman has said he will not---Bruford seems to say no too---Howe seems to want to show up----I assume the California west coast boys---Anderson Rabin and White will show up----I know don't know about Kaye. Obviously this could change as Howe has insinuated from now until show time.

Anarchy In The UK.

They could play whatever they want. I mean, like someone already wrote it in the previous two pages, is it really Yes without Squire or Anderson?
They will play a mediocre medley of their biggest hits, shake hands with the officials, have some warm champagne and self-congratulate for entering the Rock'n'Roll version of the Tussaud wax museum... Hey, maybe they have already turned into wax statues for a while!

Re the Moody Blues, all you have to do is look at how the Rolling Stone Record Guide dismissed them to understand how the practically synonymous RRHOF hasn't inducted them.  I mean, it would be hard to find a more successful rock band as reviled by that whole lot as the Moodys.  To add insult to injury, they gave the best rating of any Moodys album to the first one from 1965!   When Rolling Stone published their top 50 prog rock albums of all time, they made amends with several bands that they had dissed in the past - eg - choosing Renaissance "Ashes are Burning" for the list, which they had given 1 star to in the record guide.  But no such truce with the Moodys, who were completely left out even though Days of Future Passed (not nearly my favorite album by them) was a pivotal prog album.

Yeah, I spend too much time sending bad vides on this forum.
