First time listening to Yes Band - Starship Trooper | special request | REACTION

Finally you're going down the YES rabbit hole. "Yours Is No Disgrace" "Roundabout"

You are not just listening to a new song. You are listening to a whole new style of music that you aren't used to hearing. This is not dance music. It is progressive rock at its best. You should listen to more and you will hear why these guys are so well-respected as musicians.

"And You And I' is an epic song by them. It's magical. Yes was always the most creative amongst 70's prog bands, and their musicianship is out of this world. Chris Squire (bassist) was always the engine of the band

Almost every member has been voted to be the best player of their instrument at one time or other.

Awaken and Turn Of The Century will blow your minds

Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Squire and Yes, the greatest show on earth. Love your reactions. A song called Roundabout would be a good second journey with the brilliance of YES ✨️🎶🙏🎶✨️.

"And You and I" is a beautiful song

As a youth in the 70's, this band blew me away and this still sounds fresh and exciting today. Also, I love the flange and panning effect they used in this track. Incredible musicianship and production

Have heard this track hundreds of times over the last 50 years and literally have goose bumps right now hearing it again. This is God's music 💚

You need to hear “Roundabout,” “Heart of the Sunrise,” “And You and I,” and “Close to the Edge.”

I saw Yes 5 times between 72 and 2003 simply because I couldn't get enough. They were all masters at their craft and will forever be embedded in my prog rock memory. Great reaction ❤️

You've just heard one of the greatest songs ever written by the greatest band to ever do it!🤩

You just listened to the greatest band that has graced this planet with the greatest voice in music.

Keep going with Yes. I'm sure you'll find a lot to astonish. They hit a zenith at the end of 70's, reinvented themselves, and kept going. You would do well to progress with them roughly chronologically.

Congratulations. You have found your way to YES. In your life, you will never hear another bass-player to equal Chis Squire, a drummer like Bill Brufford, a guitarist like Steve Howe (who was in a later and permanent incarnation of Yes), a keyboard GENIUS like Rick Wakeman or a singer of the calliber of Jon Anderson. And let's just talk about Jon Anderson's SONGWRITING. Eventually, in a couple of weeks, you will be ready for the prog masterpiece. Close To the Edge. For now. you are both excellent listeners. You really get it.

Ohhhh YESSSSSS !!! Love your reactions and I've been waiting and hoping you'd react to YES. There is NO ONE like them. Fantastic musicians every one of them. I suggest you not attempt to make sense of the lyrics. Whether true or not, someone stated that Jon Anderson uses his vocals as an instrument (sounds right to me). I'm 70 years old and this is my favorite band for about 52 years and counting, Led Zeppelin at the number 2 spot. Please go way down this rabbit hole. Thanks!!😊

Steve Howe wasn't as famous as many of the rock "guitar gods", but he was exceptionally good, listen to the song "Clap" from this album for an amazing solo acoustic guitar instrumental

I subscribe to any and all reactors who like Yes. You remind me of my first reactions to their music from that magical decade. The music still sounds fresh after 54 years, even if I'm not...For me tears still flow freely listening to many of their symphonic epics - Awaken, And You and I, Wonderous Stories, Close to the Edge, Gates of Delirium, Heart of the Sunrise. The lyrics are hard to decipher but the effort can be worthwhile - or not. The message comes through emotionally, not literally. More Yes please!

Steve Howe was the guitarist on this album. The best progressive rock band ever!

They are the kings of offbeat and changing dynamics.
