Yes/Trivia


 * Hipgnosis: Did the cover art for Going for the One and Tormato.
 * Money, Dear Boy: Fragile had the band members doing "solo" pieces to record the album quickly in order to pay for Rick Wakeman's keyboards. Subverted in that it's still considered one of the band's best albums.
 * Promoted Fanboy:
 * Igor Khoroshev
 * current singer Benoit David
 * Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes of The Buggles. They'd already written a song for Yes before Jon Anderson and Rick Wakemen left. It didn't hurt that they shared a manager with the band, either.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * After the first break-up of Yes in 1981, Chris Squire and Alan White tried to form a Supergroup called XYZ with former Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Plant quickly lost interest in the project and the band folded. But then Squire and White started working with a new guitarist from South Africa...
 * Vangelis was also seriously considered for a spot in the group but chose to go solo.
 * Phil Collins was scheduled to audition to be their drummer, but earlier that same day he auditioned for another band and went with them instead.
