About the Artist

Formed in London in 1968, Yes became one of the defining bands of progressive rock, known for ambitious arrangements, virtuoso musicianship and Jon Anderson's soaring vocals. After splitting at the start of the '80s, the band came back together in a new form that would give them their biggest commercial success.

About the Album

Released in 1983 and produced by Trevor Horn, 90125 took its name from its original catalog number. The lineup of Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Alan White, Tony Kaye and newcomer guitarist Trevor Rabin traded long-form prog epics for a sleek, punchy sound full of big hooks and cutting-edge studio production. It became the best-selling album of the band's career.

Track Highlights

• "Owner of a Lonely Heart": The band's only US Billboard Hot 100 #1, famous for its sharp guitar riff and innovative sampled production.
• "Leave It": A striking, layered a cappella-driven single showing off the band's vocal harmonies.
• "Cinema": A short, powerful instrumental that won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
• "It Can Happen": A melodic, sitar-tinged fan favourite.
