Far and away the longest-lasting and most successful of the '70s progressive rock groups, Yes proved to be one of the lingering success stories from that musical genre despite almost constant personnel changes.

The band, founded in 1968, overcame a generational shift in its audience and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band.
