YES Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

SurvivalYES26rank/position

YES – Survival

This is the closing track from Yes’s 1969 debut album, “Yes.” Although the sound is still somewhat rough around the edges, you can already hear their distinctive harmonies coming together at this point.

It’s a gentle song with a folk-like atmosphere.

Yes – Tempus Fugit (Official Music Video)

After leaving once in 1974, keyboardist Rick Wakeman rejoined YES in 1976, but in 1979 he left the band again along with vocalist Jon Anderson.

Having lost their core of vocals and keyboards, YES attempted to weather the crisis with a bold move: they essentially brought in the entire electropop duo The Buggles, who were under the same management (The Buggles are known for their hit “Video Killed the Radio Star”).

On “Tempus Fugit,” included on the 1980 album Drama released under this new lineup, they deliver a high-energy sound that rivals their earlier work.

The Gates of Delirium by Yes in 1080p HD HQ

Relayer, the seventh studio album released in 1974, was created around the theme of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace.

Opening the album is The Gates of Delirium.

Spanning over 21 minutes, its intense midsection represents battle, while the tranquil latter part expresses a prayer for peace.

It’s a fan favorite and, despite its length, is sometimes performed live.

Why not immerse yourself in the grand narrative crafted by YES?

Time and a WordYES29rank/position

Yes – Time and a Word

The title track “Time and a Word,” included on their second album of the same name released in 1970.

It features a rock sound that strongly reflects the influence of popular bands of the time—like the Beatles and Traffic—before YES transitioned into a full-fledged progressive rock band.

It also incorporates elements of art rock, such as the use of orchestral sounds, in an effort to add artistic dimensions to rock.

It’s a song that lets you feel YES’s evolutionary journey, transforming from art rock roots into progressive rock.

To Be OverYES30rank/position

To Be Over by Yes in HD

After keyboardist Rick Wakeman left due to musical differences, Yes released their seventh studio album, Relayer, in 1974.

The track To Be Over included on the album was inspired by the boathouse on the lake in London’s Hyde Park.

Influenced by new member Patrick Moraz, it features a mix of fusion and jazz elements, resulting in an ethereal and grand piece that is quintessentially Yes.
