Chris Squire, bassist of Yes, has joined the Band Eternal. Here’s the signature cut of theirs, as far as I’m concerned:

Yes is my absolute fave. Here’s one that Squire wrote that you’ve probably never heard. “Onward.”

The bass line in Starship Troopers is mesmerizing IMO, but of course these things are subjective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQKVqVpoMxw

fun fact: Roundabout was used for the end credits music of seasons 1 and 2 of the anime Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

…The only place that Lesbians look nice and handsome is in Porn movies…In real life, I have yet to encounter a decent looking one…But then, I don’t look for them either!

At my high school in the late ’70s we used “Roundabout” as the basketball team’s pregame warmup music!

I am very sad, today. I so enjoyed his work.

Did you see them when they toured the Union album in ’91?

In the round, with a rotating stage, Jon Anderson, 2 keyboardists (Wakeman & Kaye), 2 guitarists (Howe & Rabin), 2 drummers (Bruford & White), but only ONE bass player: Mr. Squire!

Yes I have been a fan. Had all the Yes and solo albums and Fish out of Water was the one I played repeatedly: it grows on you and is a nice sequence. But it was the bass on Roundabout, Rickenbacker high treble through a vibrato effect: that got my attention, ‘What is that sound?’ Too young Chris, sad you had leukemia.

Fish Out Of Water was the best of the Yes solo albums by far. And that is not opinion, but indisputable scientific fact.

Like Paul Revere above, probably my favorite bit of Yes is the final part of Starship Trooper.

Back in the 70s, Constitution Hall I think.
