The current version of Yes: Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Alan White and Chris Squire (photo credit: Rob Shanahan)
It’s a good time to be a Yes fan, as long as you aren’t getting hung up on the absence of singer Jon Anderson in the band’s current incarnation. That aside, they’re about to release The Studio Albums 1969-1987, a 13 CD box set containing all of their studio albums on Atlantic Records, from their self titled debut to Big Generator. Over the summer, they headlined their first “Yestival,” and they recently announced their second “Cruise To The Edge” (which will also feature Steve Hackett of Genesis, Queensryche and Marillion, among other prog-rockers). And of course, they were included on the ballot for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time this year.
There’s only one guy who has been on every Yes album: their “keeper of the flame” is founding bassist and boss Chris Squire. Radio.com called him up to talk about their Rock Hall nomination, the box set, the band’s future as well as some of his non-Yes projects.
Congratulations on the nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Are you excited?
Well, obviously it’s really a nice thing, and I guess we’ll find out in a couple of weeks if we are voted in, so I’m not too excited until then, really. But it’s nice of them to recognize us.
