Released 40 years ago this week, ‘90125’ reshaped Yes as a modernized best-selling ’80s band. That wasn’t a bad thing.

The creation story of ‘From a Page’ involves a previous lineup of Yes in effect co-opting the current lineup in order to make a new record.

Let’s sort through Yes’ Steve Howe-written song “Hour of Need,” which went through a myriad of versions between 2005 and 2018.

When ‘Fly From Here’ was released, I remember my excitement that Yes was still capable of transcending barriers which would have stopped other bands.

“Owner of a Lonely Heart” wasn’t great progressive rock but, without this track, it’s doubtful the band Yes would still be here today.

Yes should have made “Tempus Fugit,” a gem among gems, the focus track on 1980’s ‘Drama.’

A re-tooled Yes continued to test their boundaries with “Run Through the Light” from 1980’s ‘Drama.’

Yes has never sounded more like a cohesive unit than they do on “Into the Lens,” from 1980’s underrated ‘Drama.’

“Does It Really Happen,” a stand-out cut from 1980’s ‘Drama,’ finds a rebuilt Yes sounding as vibrant and relevant as ever.

Yes’ ‘Man in a White Car’ has new wave edge that made it both a fitting piece for 1980’s ‘Drama,’ and also a weirdly engaging live piece.
