THE YES ALBUM

The Yes Album heralded the arrival of Steve Howe to the band and launched the band into superstardom. Yes' third album is not only a prog classic but a classic album in general, garnering recognition from the mainstream across the radio. The sound of the band and songwriting became immensly stronger with the addition of Steve Howe and the maturing of Jon Anderson and Chris Squire as writers and preformers. The Yes album is considered the first installment of the Classic Yes sound. An essential album and a good reccomendation as a starting point to a new Yes listener.
