Yes' third studio album (1971), which introduces
Steve Howe at the
guitar. By far the better of the three, also much more
complex. This is the album that will set the band's technique and
unique sound for years to come. This music sets the band apart from the "
proggressive rock" label. It's more than that, it's Yes.
Steve Howe gets a well-deserved spotlight for his debut with his guitar solo "
Clap" (later corrected as "The Clap" due to a
misprint). What is most striking about the music is the performers' age. Barely into their twenties these brit boys were blending
classical music and rock with
time signatures to make one fall off their
chair!
