‘We invented progressive rock’: Chris Squire stakes Yes’ claim as forefathers of the genre

Chris Squire, of course, had little idea that Yes would still be together as the group was constructing the classic albums featured on their most recent tour.
But he knew one thing: “I guess we invented progressive rock, somehow.”
Yes has just completed a round of shows focusing on the 1970s projects The Yes Album, Close To The Edgeand Going For The One. The next leg, focusing on Europe, follows in 2014 — beginning in April and continuing through June.
Yes will also be playing host to Cruise To The Edge 2014, which travels on April 7-12 to Honduras and Mexico with a bill that includes Genesis Revisited, Queensryche, UK, Tangerine Dream, Saga, Renaissance, former Yes member Patrick Moraz, Lifesigns and ex-members of Gentle Giant.
