Yes released a couple of albums prior to guitarist Steve Howe joining the band, but it was having him in the lineup that turned them into a world-class act. The music became far more ambitious, and their third LP, The Yes Album , proved to be their commercial and critical breakthrough. At almost 10 minutes long, and with three "movements" building up to an instrumental climax, Starship Trooper set the template for much of prog-rock for the 70s and beyond. Yes went up another gear when Rick Wakeman joined in , and his virtuoso playing provided a worthy foil for Steve Howe's guitar. The opener from the fourth album, Fragile , propelled by Chris Squire's distinctive sing-song Rickenbacker bass, has always been one of the band's standards. There's a huge energy in the interplay between Wakeman's Hammond organ, Howe's guitar and Squire's bass as the three of them bounce off one another in the instrumental break towards the end of the song. The frenetic instrumental first half of Fragile's closing number was quite unlike anything they did before or since, anticipating the territory King Crimson would explore a couple of years later with Red. Jon Anderson's distinctive choirboy-on-acid vocals don't come in until halfway through the song, and rather than being the typical rock frontman, his voice becomes another lead instrument in the band. His stream-of-consciousness lyrics are never easy to interpret, but if you imagine him in his pre-Yes day job as a milkman, they almost make sense.

For that reason alone, the song becomes part of the essential Yes catalog. However, the real gem that was recorded for the album turned out to be a solo acoustic guitar performance by the legendary Steve Howe. Steve Howe recorded the song in fifteen minutes and was hesitant to include the piece on the record.

And boy did you deliver! Almsot 50, people voted in our online poll that's more than Genesis when we did them last year. It was the biggest response the magazine has ever had to any online vote. So thank you. Jon Anderson wanted "a calm sea of music" for side two of …Topographic Oceans, according to band biographer Tim Morse. But nothing ever turned out so simple with this band. Live, the track was a platform for Squire to stretch out with an extended solo, fine examples of which can be found on Yessongs and Live At Montreux. The Ladder saw Yes working with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who brought much of the warmth and ambition of their classic 70s albums back to the music, evidenced in the grand scale of Homeworld. It is still, to coin a phrase, progressive.
