YES Popular Song Ranking [2026] (11–20)
Endress DreamYES15rank/position

It’s a complex piece from the 1994 album Talk, in which tense sections and more relaxed passages unfold in alternation.
There was a theory that it was a sequel to the band’s signature song “Close to the Edge,” but that is said not to be true.
Even so, this superbly constructed track can rightly be considered a signature song of Yes in the 1990s.
Heart Of The SunriseYES16rank/position

This is “Heart of the Sunrise,” the final track that closes out the classic album Fragile, released in 1971.
With shifting time signatures and tightly interwoven performances from each member, the piece elevates into a fierce, dynamic sound.
It’s a band favorite as well, and is often performed live.
In the latter half, there’s a brief, elegant piano section by keyboardist Rick Wakeman—who joined the band for this album—letting you enjoy the superb technique of a musician with a strong classical background.
Into The LensYES17rank/position

A track from the 1980 studio album Drama.
It’s one of the works on which Jon Anderson does not handle vocals.
The quietly sung opening phrase leaves a strong impression, and the gradual build in layers and intensity draws you in.
The beautiful harmonies also help give the song a vivid, blossoming quality.
Leave ItYES18rank/position

A song released as a single in 1984 by the British rock band Yes.
It is the follow-up to their hit song “Owner of a Lonely Heart.” The music video, directed by Godley and Creme, was produced in 18 different versions.
Lift Me UpYES19rank/position

The members who held the rights to the band name “Yes” and the members who had left to form a separate band reconciled.
Yes was revived with a total of eight members, and in 1991 they released the album Union.
Although it is said that the album was not actually created through full collaboration among all the members, the music video for the single from it features all eight performing together, and it ultimately became a major hit.
Love Will Find A WayYES20rank/position

A track from the album Big Generator.
It’s a catchy pop song that follows in the footsteps of “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” the number from the previous album that hit No.
1 in the U.S.
Although it didn’t become a massive U.S.
hit, I feel it deserves to be considered one of their signature songs.
This beautiful, more pop-leaning sound is quintessentially them.

MagnificationYES21rank/position

Between 2005 and 2008, Yes went on hiatus.
Before that break, they created an album called Magnification with a lineup that, remarkably, omitted keyboards and featured a full orchestra.
Its title track is a masterpiece where the grandeur of orchestral sound merges with progressive rock.
