YES Popular Song Ranking [2026] (11–20)
Homeworld (The Ladder)YES11rank/position

After experiencing member departures, hiatuses, and splits, YES resumed activity in the 1990s.
“Homeworld (The Ladder),” included on their 1999 album The Ladder, is a song crafted by vocalist Jon Anderson around themes such as science fiction and space, showcasing the grand, quintessential YES sound.
The album was produced by the renowned Bruce Fairbairn, known for his work with Bon Jovi and AC/DC.
He died of a heart attack during the final mixing of the album, and it is known as his posthumous work.
I’ve Seen All Good PeopleYES12rank/position

I’ve Seen All Good People begins with a beautiful chorus.
It appears on the 1971 release The Yes Album.
The song has two parts, and the first part, Your Move, was released as a single and became a hit.
Even today, it is known as one of YES’s most famous songs.
Its appeal lies in its bright harmonies and a sound that reflects influences from country rock and folk.
Although this was before YES had fully established their direction as a progressive rock band, it’s interesting that you can already sense prog-like elements.
Beyond and BeforeYES13rank/position

Yes is a British rock band formed in 1968.
Although none of the original members remain, the band is still active and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
“Beyond and Before” is included on their debut album, Yes, released in 1969.
Don’t Kill The WhaleYES14rank/position

It’s a bright-sounding track with a restrained technical vibe for Yes.
Still, when you hear the brilliantly constructed solo section, you realize it’s a piece only Yes could create.
It’s included on the 1978 album Tormato.
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.
