Not exactly an error, and not very important, so I'm reluctant to report this, but there are a couple of examples of an unprofessional lack of neutrality here:

Quote As Peter BANKS was ousted from YES to make place for Steve HOWE, Tony KAYE managed to produce his best effort yet in their following album the YES album but also got the boot to be replaced by the grandiose and pompous Rick WAKEMAN.

As a natural reflex, KAYE and BANKS regrouped and founded FLASH that would record three albums. But, obviously KAYE was not happy with the result and left before the second album to create BADGER with drummer Roy DYKE ex-ASHTON, GARDNER and DYKE - sounds like a law firm but so does ELP - a band worth investigating also. BADGER recorded their first album live (probably cheaper way to make an album) and developed an energetic prog reminding us of YES along with the obligatory Roger Dean art cover. By their second album, only KAYE and DYKE were left and the were joined by pop-soul singer Jackie Lomax for a very confused album where Jeff beck makes a guest appearance and the band folded.

Tony KAYE, who had been unjustly ousted from YES was re-invited into the group for the 80's and part of the 90's.


Could we perhaps just replace those two moments with something more neutral, or even just omit the 'unjustly' and 'grandiose and pompous'?
