Yes discography
and personnel table
This is our
page which is a combination of Yes personnel changes through the
years and a discography. The albums
are not listed strictly chronologically. They are first grouped by
band personnel, then in order of release date. We included Anderson,
Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe, which is not technically Yes.
We came
up with thirteen different formats and they are described below. Some of the
personnel changes were minor such as
replacing Bill Bruford with Alan White, adding Igor Khoroshev to the
band with Billy Sherwood, and replacing Tony Levin with Jeff Berlin
in Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe. Other
personnel moves were quite drastic such as the Trevor Rabin
era, the Drama
album and tour, etc.
Through this writing the last album was Magnification.
The number of Yes releases is as follows:
32 Total
19 Studio (Keys counts as one studio record)
7 Live (Keys counts as one live record)
6 Compilation (including the two box sets.)
A brief Biograph
of Yes is provided by Djangomusic.

Looking back at Yes'
first two albums after the fact make an interesting journey.
Obviously, the only reason we are listening to these albums is
due to the success of their latter material
and looking for additional brilliance. Do they deliver the
magic? The albums offer beautiful lead vocals and an amazing rhythm
section that shines at times.
Any fans of Chris
Squire's bass playing and John Anderson's singing will find
plenty to enjoy with these albums. The rest of the band is
solid too, and Yes' first two albums are worthy of consideration of
purchase, though hardly essential. While there are two other
releases of early Yes, a greatest hits and live effort, we
would suggest one of their studio albums or both, as the sonic
quality of the remastering is excellent. Of them, we prefer
the first album much more as the use of symphony used on the
second album is more often distracting than pleasing.
