It's the first part of our progressive rock series where we will dive into the history of the most influential bands in the prog-rock genre. On this episode we start with one of the earliest prog-rock bands, Yes! Who is "Yes"? Why should you care? Their catalog of music is so extensive you may know this band's music and not even realize it! We attempt to scratch the surface of the long and convoluted career of this band where the term "band" seems woefully inadequate!Ask to join our Facebook Group, “Metal Rock Whiskey”.Follow us on Instagram @metal_rock_whiskeyTheme song “The Whiskey Always Wins” performed by When Particles Collide.https://www.whenparticlescollide.comSong clips are used under the fair use act with no infringement intended.
