Yes - Long Distance Runaround

Yes are an English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968 and generally regarded as one of the archetypal bands of the genre. Despite a great many lineup changes, occasional splits within the group and the ever-changing trends in popular music, the band has continued on for over forty years and still retains a large following. The band's music blends symphonic and other 'classical' structures with their own brand of rock music, which is marked by sharp dynamic contrasts, extended song lengths, abstract lyrics, and a general showcasing of instrumental prowess. Although the band's sole consistent member has been bass player Chris Squire (noted for his highly melodic and discursive playing as well as his early use of electronic effects), Yes is also generally noted for the distinctive high-register vocals of lead singer Jon Anderson and the eclectic musical stylings of a succession of guitarists (Peter Banks, Steve Howe, Trevor Rabin, Billy Sherwood), keyboard players (Tony Kaye, Rick Wakeman, Patrick Moraz, Geoff Downes, Igor Khoroshev) and drummers (Bill Bruford and Alan White). Several band members became celebrated musicians and/or bandleaders in their own right, and a 1980 lineup of the band was briefly fronted by future production star Trevor Horn.

Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred

Cold summer listening
Hot colour melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Did we really count to one hundred

(REPEAT VERSES)

Looking for the sunshine

I always instantly fall for any band who place the bass up front in the songs right by any instrument. Some groups just push it in the background, and use it just to fill in the void. I think bass is just as important, I really admire this.

@GeneralEisenhower Nothing is wrong with the rhythm...not all rhythm sections just play the mindless drivel of 1 & 3...this is called Progressive Rock for a reason...it contains elements of music not found in the garden-variety gutter-tripe stuff ... it challenges the listener to pay attention, to find the interlocking parts...to appreciate how one line augments and intersects with another.

yes music is not for the intellectually lazy.

@Interst890 art rock is sometimes lumped in with progressive, since it's an offshoot. I agree though: Focus would be a better choice, rather than Golden Earring.

Chris Squire!!! The best bass player of all time
