Okay, you can travel back in time to circa 1966-67 (1 Viewer)

Yes still going into the 21st century, and their biggest chat hits were 1980s.

Marillion didn't even start recording until the 1980s and have managed single successes into the 21st century.

Too bad

Rap is just talking over no musical innovation IMO so that wouldn't make it. I agree with Donna Summer over the Jacksons. The point with Nirvana is the size of the sound. Hendrix was brilliant but it was really just the blues and didn't have the depth of sound that thrash has. Also Nirvana blew my mind when I first heard them much as Numan and Radiohead did.

Disagree entirely.

We'll have to agree to differ - sorry I don't get rap. I listened to this track and to my uninitiated ear it does sound like mediocre music with someone talking over the top.

Crikey you are right - just checked their discography. Are the later albums any good, as I do like some Yes.

Well... Yes are a band that, at the best of times, I struggle with. Think Relayer's great, Heart of the Sunrise is a cracking track, can't help but admire the musicianship... but too much sends me to sleep!

So I only have token Yes I have The Ladder (1999 - 16 years ago, and I thought that was a modern one!!) and it's... alright. It's definitely Yes! And this is kind of my problem... it's prog in terms of a style, but not 'progressive' as it could be an album from the late 70s (loses some of the hardcore prog bits for a slightly poppier sound, but still prog) so it's churcning out more of a same style.

And yeah, just about every band does that (although Marillion shift around rather, for better or worse) but if you call yourself 'progressive' I'd hope for a King Crimson radicalism, even if I didn't particularly *like* the radicalism

tl;dr if you like Yes then you'll be in familiar territory with the later stuff. Haven't gone near the later albums without Jon Anderson mind.
