With founding frontman Jon Anderson seemingly out of the picture permanently, it's about time for an anthological assessment of the classic Yes years, i.e. the groundbreaking British band's 18-year tenure on Atco/Atlantic.

As the group that, in many people's eyes, defines prog rock, Yes never did anything small -- their fusion of rock, classical, folk, and jazz was writ large across their entire discography. On their very first album, they expanded Beatles and Byrds songs into outsized, psychedelia-tinged epic blowouts, and milestone outings like Close to the Edge found them crafting their own prog-rock mini-symphonies. 1973's Tales from Topographic Oceans was one of rock's first double-length concept albums, a single suite that initially stretched across four sides of vinyl.
