I need to thank some fellow uploaders, especially Troma for his fine Yes releases. These include Yes, Time and a Word, The Yes Album, Fragile and my request for The Ladder. Thanks bro! Also to Pirate Bay member downup for Magnification, Going for the One, Relayer and Tales from Topographic Oceans. Also to a couple of others that helped complete this discography. Thanks to all! I left out Keys to Ascension 1 & 2 as they are for the most part live albums although Wiki has them down as part of the studio discography (because of a couple of new released tracks). I also left out Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman Howe. I did this to keep the file size more manageable for as its 7 GB, these 3 albums would have pushed it to 9 GB.




Please help seed these FLACs!





From Wiki:


Yes are an English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968, generally regarded as one of the archetypal bands and pioneers of the genre. Despite many lineup changes, occasional splits within the group and the ever-changing trends in popular music, the band has continued for over forty years and still retains a large following.[1]

The band's music blends symphonic and other "classical" structures with their own brand of rock music, which is marked by sharp dynamic contrasts, long songs, abstract lyrics, and an integrated showcasing of instrumental prowess. Although the band's sole consistent member has been bass player Chris Squire (noted for his highly melodic and discursive playing as well as his early use of electronic effects), Yes are also generally noted for the distinctive high-register vocals of lead singer Jon Anderson and the eclectic musical stylings of a succession of guitarists (Peter Banks, Steve Howe, Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood), keyboard players (Tony Kaye, Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz, Geoff Downes, Igor Khoroshev) and drummers (Bill Bruford and Alan White). Several band members became celebrated musicians and/or bandleaders in their own right, and a 1980 lineup of the band was briefly fronted by future production star Trevor Horn. They have sold over 30 million records in over 40 years of activity.

Long-term band members Squire, Howe and White are currently touring with a Yes lineup featuring vocalist Benoît David and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman.






Yes 1969


Yes is the 1969 debut album from British progressive rock band Yes, considered among the first progressive rock albums. With the original Yes line-up of vocalist Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Peter Banks, keyboardist Tony Kaye and drummer Bill Bruford, Yes was the quintet's original musical release.

While many music critics regarded it as a strong initial effort, the album was not a large commercial success, due in part to the inexperience of the band and the producers. The album was also overshadowed by Led Zeppelin's debut album, released earlier that year.

Two of the eight songs on the album are covers, which the band use to demonstrate their penchant for massively reworking others' songs; The Beatles' "Every Little Thing" is turned into a grungy wall of sound with several tempo and key changes with an extended jam opening, and The Byrds' "I See You" becomes a jazzy psychedelic workout for Banks and Bruford to display their instrumental virtuosity.

Lester Bangs favourably reviewed the album in Rolling Stone, writing that it was "the kind of album that sometimes insinuates itself into your routine with a totally unexpected thrust of musical power."
