No autotune. no Pro-tools. No grid-snap. This is the way music should be
Plus these guys really could play ALL of this live in concert. Grand master class musicians. I had the great good fortune to hear/see [Heresy? No.] Yes (with Rick Wakeman in full Keyboard Wizard mode) twice during the ancient and musically halcyon days of my youth. That's Prog, baby!
And you young whippersnappers, get off my lawn! Wait, this is an apartment building. It's the landlady's lawn now. [Emily Litella font on] "Never mind." [Emily Litella font off]
staggering that they accomplished this much without all these modern tools...
@@sseltrek1a2b Not really. If you had seen what the Beatles did with Sergeant Pepper and what Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys did with Pet Sounds, you knew what to do. Yes did it. Eddy Offord, their engineer, was instrumental in launching them, especially their Close to the Edge masterpiece.
@@williamburkholder769 The Beatles are nowhere near as talented as the members of Yes.
One of the 1st progressive rock bands...and great!
Chris Squire played those complex bass parts while singing harmony and pulled it off live in concert like it was no big deal. He was just pure music
My favorite bassist of all time
I love how much funk there is in his sound, and his intensity is off the charts. Dude was brilliant
Chris Squire's use of the Rickenbacker bass is legendary and had a gigantic influence on Rush's Geddy Lee. Regardless of the lineup, Yes was alway filled with extremely skilled players and you can understand how all of them contributed to composition as their arrangements are intricate but masteful.
Chris Squire is my all time favorite bassist and the tempo that he drives in this song still gets me after all these years. I know some serious bassist’s that don’t like him because he played with a coin. I don’t care if he used his penis, Chris played some of the most beautiful bass I’ve ever heard
you can call it "prog rock" if you like, but what it really is, is just amazingly well composed music rendered by excellent musicians.
yes I'll call it Prog Rock.
It looks like they're enjoying Yes. "Welcome to our world boys, glad you made it here"!
‘Close To The Edge’ by Yes is regarded as the most complex song ever written in rock history. The most daring and fattest bass you’ll ever hear as well. My favorite song of all genres.
Close to the Edge is the most complex which is why I would hit 2 or 3 others first you don't push them to the Edge to quickly and scare them off 😆
In addition I think they would appreciate more after becoming more acquainted.
try Fracture by King Crimson. regarded as the impossible song.
Well said!
And yet, it's not even my favorite from that album, since I consider "And You And I" one of the greatest love songs ever.
(Pretty damn good album when "Siberian Khatru" is the runt of the litter, IMO.)
@@Jessica_Roth Why are you mentioning And you an I when that isn't a complex song--as far as Yes' standards?
Roundabout or Starship Trooper are both worth a listen for sure.
Forgot about Roundabout. Great song!
They're all great songs.
Siberian Khatru, And You And I, Long Distance Runaround, Heart of the Sunrise, I've Seen All Good People...
Hey, what about Close to the Edge?
Heya guys I have to put my two cents in. I grew up with Yes. You are all right in all your angles.
The delicate, tasteful and restrained playing with musicality in every choice make this one of Yes’s finest recordings. I even love the cover pictures. The Yes Album and the two that followed it were a musical education for a young man growing up in the 70s. I thought they outclassed everything else I had ever heard and I listen intently to a lot of music back then.
At 64, I've been listening to this since it first came out on vinyl and wore it out as a teen. Today on CD, it STILL puts a smile on my face and always Epic being so incredibly complex brain candy. Thank You! There are no more hand-made treasures like this anymore. This is real Human Passion and Dedication to Music.
I'm 63 now and I still listen to those songs.
When they were inducted to the Rock Hall, Squire had passed away so Geddy Lee sat in for him. Lee had often said that Yes was a major influence on Rush.
Steve Howe was voted best guitarist 5 years in a row in a ballot of his peers.
PLAY STARSHIP TROOPER! STARSHIP TROOPER STARSHIP TROOPER STARSHIP TROOPER 😎☮️❤️
Chris Squire still blowing minds R.I.P.
Compositionally they are a pinnacle - beyond any band you can compare them with. Lots of bands can shred. Yes composes at a master level. Much more out there.
I had an opportunity to see YES live in the 80s. I never would have chosen to buy tickets to see them. I was invited by my best friend, who was supposed to go with her boyfriend, but NO, they had a falling out. Bad for them. AWESOME for me! To this day, I am mind blown Never before or since have I seen a bassist just play on and on in his own solo. Like he was the only guy there. Chris Squire is easily one of the most incredible bassists EVER! I'll see you after dude! Needless to say, I am a YES girl forever after that!
I laughed when you said they don't make music like this today. Not close. I had the privilege to see these guys twice. Once outdoors and once at a small theater. Incredible show and musicians. Great way to spend an evening. I know a guy who plays keyboard in a band. I said play some YES. He laughed and said no way their so far advanced. We were spoiled listening to the bands we grew up to and didn't even know it. Keep those older bands coming. You will have the same reaction as you did to this one.
Oh yes we knew, we had the best music of all time, we knew
3 times for me
This is the late Chris Squire on Bass. Steve Howe on guitar. Keep listening.
Love to see young'uns enjoying the music of my youth!
Don't sleep on Bill Bruford, one of the best, if not THE best prog drummers. He is so technically perfect, yet so subtle that he sometimes gets overlooked in the midst of all this musical magic.
He and Billy Cobham are my favorite drummers.
A very relaxed style and can be seen up close on YT.
Close to the Edge is the best song by Yes. Maybe the best song by any band ever.
Reaction Vid star Jamel-AKA-Jamal declared Close To The Edge to be *The Greatest Song he'd ever heard* some 50 yrs after it was recorded. IMO, Close To The Edge will generate similar reactions from first-time listeners *100 years* from now. It's a priceless contribution to music history...
It is a fantastic song, though I'd recommend that most people familiarize themselves with the songs from "The Yes Album" and "Fragile" before launching into "Close to the Edge"----you need to get used to those entry level drugs before you attempt the strong stuff!
Yes and No. A few other songs by YES are equally epic.
@@edf13 Roundabout comes to mind.
@@edf13 The Gates of Delirium.
It was something out of the ordinary, a masterpiece. The YES group has an unusual musical style of music, special, non-standard, which greatly distinguishes this group from others. Despite many line-up changes, temporary breakups and constant changes in music, this band has been around for over 50 years and still retains a huge number of its listeners around the world. Yes's music is characterized by sharp dynamic contrasts, extended song lengths and the highest performing skills of all members of the group. Yes often uses symphonic and other so-called "classical" musical structures, mixes different styles, incorporates various innovations into their compositions and creates extremely bright and full of ideas music as a result. In 1972, two of the group's best albums, Fragile and Close to the Edge, were released one after the other (both discs hit the top ten of the US hit parade). Great musical group.
Starship Trooper. Amazing! The whole album is actually. As I've said before, Yes wil ALWAYS put a smile on your face.
YES!!!!!
Chris Squire played the bass guitar as a lead instrument. he was amazing.
Hopefully one day they'll pass this memory on to their kids enjoy.... Long live Yes. . . 😁😁😁
That album was the beginning of the guitarist Steve Howe winning Guitar Magazine’s guitarist of the year five years in a row and them having to create a hall of fame so he could be retired from the running. Chris Squire is perpetually top 5 bassists of all time in Rock/Prog Rock. Tne next album brought a virtuoso keyboardist in Rick Wakeman to replace the adequate, but not special, organist Tony Kaye. And the drums are Bill Bruford who brought in a whole new level of jazzy rhythm that will never be mistaken for a 4/4 groove drummer, but was good enough to jump to King Crimson a few albums later. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Yes.
Agree totally !!
Well said!
A major bonus is to watch YES play this song live! Bassist Squire and Guitarist Steve Howe are all over the strings of their instruments. Everyone is a phenomenal musician in YES! Great reaction guys!!!
Saw them open their set at Winterland with 30 minute version of this in'74. Lord,really wish they had done the live one.
Hippie Redneck

All of the sound-alike bands you mentioned (Rush, Kansas, Boston) were profoundly influenced by Yes. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush talked about their influence when they inducted Yes into the R&R Hall of Fame. Geddy played bass on "Roundabout" (which you should react to if you haven't) at the induction after Chris Squire had passed away.
Other early Yes songs also shine ( "And You and I" "Close to the Edge"). Later Yes ( "Wonderous Stories" "Awaken") are also amazing.
Gates of Delirium too
Amazing musicians, all of them. Chris Squire is a legend, and any band that has Bill Bruford in the mix is bound to be at the peak of their game. "Starship Trooper" or "And You & I" should be your next hits - though for Squire at his finest, the introduction to "Heart of the Sunrise" takes some beating.
I agree. Bill Bruford was amazing. He could go from coddling Squire to an amazing pocket, to "did you hear that? fills.
RIP Chris Squire - one of the greatest rock bassists ever. Try 'Starship Trooper' and 'Yours is No Disgrace' both from this album and then venture on to the albums Close to the Edge and Fragile. The bass line in 'Starship Trooper' is a wicked ride! I feel so fortunate to have seen them live a few times.
That was so Fun!!!! I love watching young people listen to Yes for the first time and the look on their face! 5 excellent musicians who loved playing created amazing music! No, NO, No, all of those bands you mentioned idolized Yes. Most musicians idolized yes. I was so lucky to see them live "In the Round" at the old Los Angeles Forum. The stage went in circles so we could see all of the band. Early 80's. They were sooooo goood!
Guys. I'm 66. Went to 2 Yes concerts. Very happy I came across your channel. Really surprised to see you dudes enthusiastic over Yes. And now I can see that there is hope for the USA and rock music. With the passing Gary Rossington, famous guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd, we may not have any new Southern rock ever again. I'll try to pass along some of the greatest rock songs from my era and hopefully you'll get hooked. Kudos. A thousand thanks guys.
Welcome to one of THE greatest bands on the planet boys (and all planets for that matter)
YES! The best band ever! I found them in 75 thanks to a schoolmate. Saw them live, jaw dropping live. To this day! Chris Squire passed in ‘15, and we miss him- all his fans. They are masters of transitions. Shining flying purple wolfhounds are British fighter jets. On top of all of this, they are some of the kindest, most incredible people. Only after I was 50, could I talk to them. Met them many times. I once told Jon (singer) that he was my biggest fan. He said “yes Nancy I am”. Howe on guitar is simply brilliant. Keep going with YES. You won’t be disappointed.
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. I've seen Chris and his band 36 time over forty yrs. Yes has 7 symphonic masterpieces that Morazt would be proud of. May I suggest Close To The Edge, the greatest prog rock piece ever, or Awaken a gift to the divine in all of us. Nice reaction boys. You've got fifty yrs worth of music to catch up. For Yes's great vocal work South Side Of The Sky from their 35th Anniversary Tour called Songs From Tsongas is a must.
What's up 36? Don't know if I will stay with this channel. They know nothing about YES.😎
@@jeffschielka7845 bud just edumacate the pups.
@@lesblatnyak5947 No thanks. Lol!😎
@@lesblatnyak5947 I got a shout out from Scot at The Progs Corner in today's vid. Part 4 of the 100 greatest prog albums. Check it out and my comment. 😎
@@lesblatnyak5947 R.I.P. Vangelis ⚘⚘⚘
You owe it to yourselves to hear the song "Close To The Edge". Epic in proportion, it is truly their masterpiece. You can literally time travel while listening to it. 😄
When I was sixteen, I went on a tour of Europe for over a month. When I was in London, England I went to this underground club & this amazing band started playing a few feet away from me. It was "Yes", making their debut tour around England. I was blown away, and said to myself, "this band is going to make it big." By the time I got back to America, they had their debut album come out & hit big. I was right...
Must have been very memorable especially at that age for you over here in England. Well done for getting to see them at 16. I was a similar receptive age back then and think that so much original quality music and talent was emerging from the late 60s into the 70s.
Gentlemen, welcome to Yes. These guys built the reputation that made progressive rock great. There is tons of music to listen to here, from the classics "Close to the Edge" and "Awaken", to early stuff like "Something's Coming" to "Lightning Strikes - Can I - Face to Face". The catalog contains about 20 albums. A lifetime of music for you gentlemen to enjoy. Choose anything - you won't be disappointed.

This is the album that got Yes onto college radio in the states, and the rest is history. It was actually "Starship Trooper" that got the most immediate interest from Phil Carson at Atlantic Records, so I'd recommend covering that one next. You can then close out the next most important songs off this album, "I've Seen All Good People" and "Perpetual Change" (although it would be fun for you to cover the live versions from Yessongs), or you can go on to the highlights from their next album, Fragile, which include "Roundabout" and "Heart of the Sunrise". Then it's on to the big kahuna, Close to the Edge.
Stay with the studio recordings.
"Awaken" "Roundabout" "Starship Trooper"
I've been listening to this album for 50 years. It never gets old.
After Squire passed, Geddy Lee stood in for him at the band's R&R Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Yes formed years before Rush came along.
You guys killin it with the bobble head action 😂🤙🏽
"A master-class in instrumentation". Well said, spot-on!
I was fortunate to see the original band in concert four times in the 1970s. The band was even better live! I tripped at one concert and felt like I was in heaven.
Ever been puzzled why there are so many YES reaction videos on RUclips? They put a smile on your face. sheer genius.
Like Zendaya says at the end of the movie Dune, "This is just the beginning." So you are in for a treat as you follow the band through the 70s. After this album saved them, Yes brought in a new keyboardist, the classically trained progressive pioneer Rick Wakeman, and their next album 'Fragile' is, imo, the official beginning what is their pivotal 70s-era Yes period, when they would become the influencial stand-out progressive rock act. It is music from another dimension. Tightly arranged, virtuostic and dynamic. Close To The Edge, Tale From Topographic Oceans and Relayer. Wakerman left before Relayer because he didn't like where the music was going. He was replaced with a Swiss jazz influenced madman named Patrick Moraz, who helped bring Yes even farther into unexplored terrain, all the while maintaining their tightly composed style and virtuostic playing. Wakeman returned for their next album "Going For The One" and they constructed a beautifully layered series of songs that, while still maintaining their progressive sound, brought them back into earths aymosphere. Their story doesn't end there of course but that is their shining period, imo. You will be awed.
Lol, that line in the movie upset me. Why would her character say that in their situation? This was pandering to the audience to watch the sequel and totally broke the immersion in the finale of a movie that owes most of it's appeal to worldbuilding.
@@tornoutlaw yeah you’re right they were playing to the audience… Because a movie is a commercial venture… And they spent fukload of money and they wanna make sure that the people who don’t know the story are aware that there’s a lot more coming. If you’re gonna spend $165 million of a studios money, there will be artistic compromises.
@@IYAMNI Film Companies looking at the baseline is very true. But honestly, don't the "Part One" under the Title and the multi-million dollar promotional campaign for part two suffice to let the audience know that this wasn't it? Why not have all the characters break into song and dance in the last scene, bluntly telling us "This isn't the end of the story, there is still a sister to be born, worms to ride, enemies to be defeated. The second movie will be even more bombastic. Don't forget it's coming, a few years down the road."
@@tornoutlaw Hey, I'm not disagreeing that it was an awkward line. I flinched too. But we both have the benefit of having read the books. I'm just saying it was probably an artistic compromise on behalf of the studio. Remember the needless narration in the first release of Bladerunner? That was the studio too. They do that kind of thing.
@@IYAMNI OK, so we are in agreement.
“How is Squire not tired?” Still pondering that after all these years. His tempo is unreal
There’s so much Yes to explore … wait until you hear “Awaken.” Mind… altering.
This song was a declaration of intent.
When you said this came from the community post asking for requests, I had to double check.
Yep, this was mine.
Glad y'all enjoyed! ❤️🔥

@@jeffschielka7845 💔
You are to be commended
It was wonderful to watch you guys hear this song and YES for the first time. Without YES there may not have been bands like Rush or Boston or Kansas or even Metallica. More than any other band , YES defines the Prog-Rock genre. Just ask Geddy Lee of Rush. I was so fortunate to have grown up in a time when this music was first emerging and I'm very happy to see people like you guys out there helping to keep this music alive! Thank You 502!
I Love 💕 these bands and you putting into a perspective I can understand. Thank U Johnathan! Bless All!!
Si, Si, Si, ALWAYS
GOING TO PLAY SOME NOW AND EXERCISE
This was possibly the first Yes song for many fans at the time, even though it is their third album. The Yes album was a huge creative leap and the start of an amazing career for the band.
Yeah YES is Freaking Fantastic Live and they had a Rotating stage in the center of the Theater Badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes is so good it boggles the mind.
I would recommend Roundabout and Starship Trooper.
Saw Yes in 1980 and my God, they killed it! The timing it takes to play this live is astonishing. Chris Squire was a top-notch bassist and to see him play The Fish live was amazing! And to see them do all this on a rotating round stage just put this concert near the top of my greatest concerts!
I was a teen (just learning bass) when I heard this stuff. Blew my mind! It pushed me hard to really push myself. I've been playing ever since. Slowing down a bit now! In my 50's now. But listening back to this stuff brings me back to when I could play like this!! Great reaction!
Shout out to NIck. I really liked your reaction in the first time witnessing of an awesome band. I was seven years old back in 1974. I had eight older brothers and sisters who owned stacks of albums. YES has always been in my top three since then. I have seen them four times LIVE and they perform with as much precision, but they are multiplying the force because they are LIVE.
Heart of the Sunrise, Starship Trooper, And You and I, Roundabout, Close To the Edge, Gates of Delirium …
Hey guys one of the best reactions I’ve seen! To one of the best songs ever! Top 5 yes tunes! And they’ll never be another Chris Squire! Rest In Peace man! The best!!! Thanks guy’s!
That is my number one song I have seen them play that a 1000 times fantastic
The YESSONGS version of this song would "Really" blow all your minds. "Siberian Khatru" from YESSONGS, and this song, and "Starship Trooper" Wow You Lucky Three
Almost every song on Yessongs is better than the album versions - it's one of the best live albums ever.
@@patrickmcevoy5080 Agreed, I do like the recorded version of Roundabout better, but the live version is great in it's own right. CTTE, I was amazed that they actually played it live, I saw them in '77 and indeed they are Master Musicians, and played CTTE, which blew my mind all over again.
Yessongs one of the very best live sets ever. Yes always put so much extra into their live shows and the audience loved it.
Yes songs to this day, has the best opening to a concert ever, Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite ->Siberian Khatru
You finally got to my favorite band. Keep going: you're in for a treat.
These guys were even better live in concert. I was able to attend their shows a few times in the mid and late 70's. The sound, lights, energy and the crowds made it magical.
Very top shelf of the top shelf of epic music. Rush, ELP, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, the best of the very best. Yes may be the very best of them all.
Yes. RIP to Chris Squire, the co-founder of the band, the master of that amazing bass work, the man doing the backing vocals (it's no easy feat to harmonize with Jon Anderson) and the only one of the 19 Yes members to be there for every single album.
(Steve Howe is awesome as usual on the guitar, but Chris rarely gets enough props. Thanks for giving him his due.)
The bass beat ties all of the bridges together to make it all work...this is a common theme with Yes...Ty guys for this
Yes is the father of all the mentioned prog bands. Heart of the Sunrise. Rush listened to them when they were kids.
Close To The Edge is my favorite album by them, and one of my favorites of any band, but I have to say, The Yes Album is right there with my faves. Such great music.
Gentleman: This was my 1st visit to your channel. Since I'm an old Boomer, I always enjoy young people's reactions to songs I've been listening to forever. If you want to take a deeper dive into this group, not necessarily even for your channel, Do a search... yes with orchestral accompaniment. Hope you like it.
"I've seen all good people" YES
Chris Squire was the best. You will enjoy his contribution on many other Yes songs like Roundabout, Close to the Edge, And You and I, Gates of Delirium and so on....
Yes have gone through numerous phases or stages with the change of the lineup almost every time. Some people love some albums and hate other albums, some other people -the other way round. But whatever the genre, and whatever the musicians - they were absolutely gifted, talented giants of their respective instruments.
You guys gotta play more Yes!! You won’t regret it! They r all masters, sounds just like this in Concert! Saw them at least 7 times all times were Fire!🔥
Can't go wrong with Yes. Every instrument is played to perfection. And their voices are another instrument, perfectly executed. Please consider Roundabout next !!
Anyone listening to Yes for the first time should have a cushion on the table in front of them for when their jaw drops. This is great, but it isn't even their best stuff. Wait till you get to Starship Trooper, Roundabout, And You And I, Siberian Khatru, Awaken, Close To The Edge and Gates Of Delirium.
Great song, performance and arrangement. YES, progresive….progresive.
It's always great to see new appreciation for Yes who certainly deserve it.
I'm 64 years old. I always loved Yes. That song you played is one of my best Yes songs of all time.
Roundabout is a must to check out from Yes.
First time here today…Had to check out people hearing YES for the first time! Can you imagine this tune -Front row? Standing in front of Guitarist Steve Howe or Bassist Chris Squire? ❤️ Get tired you ask? That’s just ONE song. An entire concert of numerous Long Songs! You’ve heard a band that can Move you -literally! You won’t be sorry to experience YES!
And Yes I’m a huge fan-seen then live 48x❤️ Hope you have more videos with Yes🤘✌️🎸🎼
Yes one to the greatest bands ever, they are the masters of transitions, time and signature changes. "Yours is No Disgrace" is now just over 50 years old and when this album came out in 71 it was so very different. Yes can take you on magnificent sonic journeys and build landscapes like no other band. You should listen to a few more songs on "The Yes Album" like "Starship Trooper" and "I've seen all good People". Then move to the next album "Fragile" so many great song on that one. Then "Close to the Edge" that whole album is an epic masterpiece.
Surprised that you haven’t hit Yes before but please don’t let it be too long before you get back. You will need to be prepared to invest time as they simply don’t do short songs but if you invest you will reap massive musical rewards. If I had to pick just a few songs, I would suggest ‘Starship trooper’, ‘Roundebout’ and ‘Heart of the sunrise’ as preparation work for ‘ Close to the Edge’, ‘ The Revealing Science of God, ‘The Gates of Delerium’ and ‘Awaken’. There are many more excellent tracks over many years of output but these would take you through the classic years where IMHO they were at their greatest
Imagine yourself listening to this back in the late '60s... And seeing them in their Hay Day live. That's where I'm coming from. Ran out and bought this album immediately followed by roundabout and close to the edge. Man oh man I was so lucky to see all these bands when they first started.
I love 3 bands above all others, Yes, Genesis and Pink Floyd in no particular order and Yes never get old because there's so much that you miss, there's a discovery to be found 50 yrs after hearing it the first time.
They are amazing.' Close To The Edge' is a total trip.
Try the Yessongs album with Long distance runaround and the fish from Squire.Phenomenal!!!
Thank you guy for dropping such a gem by my favorite band ❤
You don't need a click when you have Bill Bruford, and even if he wasn't keeping time like a Rolex, Steve Howe and Chris Squire never lose a beat. You never get bored listening to one of Yes' masterpieces; there's no time to stop paying attention. Steve Howe often had multiple instruments mounted on fixed stands so he could manage the transitions without having to make a bunch of high-speed setting changes to one guitar.
One of the three super groups of the seventies who moved music to a different level the others being Pink Floyd and Genesis. Suppers Ready by Genesis is epic.
This is why we all became Yes Heads in 71
It nice to see these young bros enjoying Yes, love the head bobbing, they get it, they're feeling the power & majesty of Yes.... so cool to see. Us Yes fans khow good this band was right guys???
*Yes 'Roundabout' worth showing above all. A big hit; do not deny yourselves. ty*
Saw YES in the day at Richfield Coliseum. They came out for an encore and did "Roundabout". House lights came up and no one left. Half an hour later they came back out and did "Yours Is No Disgrace". Third best concert I ever saw.
All of YES is good! Saw them in concert in Chicago in 1984.
It's always a joy for us old timers to see youngsters discover the music we grew up with.
The albums The Yes Album, Fragile, Close To The Edge, Relayer are the masterpieces. Tales from Topographic Oceans and Going For The One are a level down and their first and second album (A Time and A Word) is a level under that though IMHO, these are also excellent.
OK, next, check out the song Roundabout, then Long Distance Runaround, Starship Trooper, Close To The Edge, Siberian Khatru, and The Gate of Delirium......well, I'll stop there as there are so many other songs that are essential.
Bill Bruford, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe were virtuosi. Bill Bruford was inspired by jazz. Rick Wakeman was classically trained.
You guys are about to embark on a fantastic journey. You will not be the same men afterward.
Squire’s Rickenbacker bass sound was so Unique and groundbreaking in the day. He made it cool to use a pick. Yes along with Emerson Lake and Palmer smashed all barriers musically.
