This is purely personal pique on my part, but in the recent round of nominations for the rock’n’roll hall of fame, YES was one of the bands being put forward. I would like to be able to say “much to my surprise” they didn’t make it. But I’m not surprised, just disappointed.
Which is silly, because I could not care less about the hall of fame. I know what I like, a lot of it was at one time on the fringes of mainstream, things I choose now still tend to be under-the-radar kinds of things (though much less rock than in previous decades), and I still have my loyalties. …
