Just checked my response on the original article. I'm still down on Yes (and many of the other songs that I didn't mention). From my little window here, it seems that Yes is undergoing a bit of a rediscovery, but the truly great progressive artists from the 70's who survived into the 80's without making a compromise (a la Genesis) are not getting the acclaim that they deserve. In my opinion, it's a matter of the mediocre crowding out the great.
