The true successors of Yes

   Two that come to mind for me are The Flower Kings and Magenta, especially their Metamorphosis album. Neither has the level of vocal harmony of Yes at it's best, but musically I find them very solidly in the Yes category and enjoy both quite a bit.
As a long time Yes fan too, I've noticed that there are far, far fewer bands that have sounds in the Yes vein as opposed to bands who have emulated the classic Genesis style. A tribute I think to how talented Yes were at their peak.

	Dear All, this is my first post here, so forgive any mistake I may make as a newcomer. I have been a long time YES fan and as many others I am highly disappointed by the musical course the band has taken after splitting from Jon and Rick. I would like to ask you which are in your opinion the best current bands that make music with a strong vocal and instrumental harmonic side like the classic Yes. I'll give you an example: I just finished listening to Moon Safari's Lover's End: beautiful record and very good vocally, but a bit "superficial" as far as the instrumental development is concerned. Do you know of any group with similar vocal harmonies and deeper musical content? Thanks to all who will take some time to reply! BR Roberto
