Didn't mean to sound supercilious BruceB... I just thought you were looking for a band who could provide the goods as brilliantly as Yes did. Were you after the classic Yes sound or the newer sound such as the ladder? If the former, the only band I could recommend as coming close are Badger. If the latter try Pig Farm on the Moon- I can remember my kids calling out that I was playing Yes again when I put them on. ps. I play in a covers band myself.

Don't make him angry.  You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

I don't want you to get "CLONE" and "COVER" mixed up. My band does not play any covers, but when people hear us they say "that sounds a lot like"...and we say, "thank you, that's what we were going for".

The immaculate one off  of Stanley Snail (aka Mike Keneally and Kevin Gilbert)?

Im listening to Cathedral now, it's like yes with Lake on vocals. The faux Steve Howe playing is remarkable.

f**k yes! Baylon, I have been trying all day to think of their name!!! thank you! I got that record a few years ago, all I could remember was they were from the south and that they were really good, and only had one record. (probably because they weren't a Tom Petty clone or a county band).

England is on the list.

Magenta, I saw a few years ago and disliked. they remind me of what a band playing on the "prog rock cruise" would be like. All unbuttoned shirts, white tennis shoes and bland as bland could be. I might be judging them too harshly, but I calls them like I sees them. Maybe I disliked them becuase I was there to see the garage prog of Hawkwind and the pure genious of Magma, and seeing what are probably Jon Anderson's accountants kids playing music, just wasn't what I was into at the time. I will admit that they are all far better musicians than I will ever be, and are more successful musically than I will ever be... maybe I'm just jelouse.

Pent**ter looks like they might be a really cool band. I'll check them out wether they are Yes clones or not.

thanks!

Heck YES!! (pun tragically intended) Thought that version of Khatru was hellacool (and eerily soundalike, I might add), and the insertion of the Bruford tune was totally nifty.
