Yes is great.
I don't have any of their albums though, only a greatest hits, and I've seen their Symphonic Yes DVD. Close to the Edge is an amazing song. The vocal harmonies in the middle section are divine.
Check out a song called Octavarium by Dream Theater. There's a lot of Yes influence in it, particularly the awesome moog solo. Also try Only a Matter of Time, being that it's largely keyboard led it also reminds me of them. They describe themselves as a 'heavy metal Yes', being that they based their band lineup on Yes'.
Can I go five posts without trying to plug DT?
