Topographic Oceans, of course. All four sides, at half-tempo. Take that, Jann Wenner...

Knowing the good ol' "hall of shame", they'll probably get coerced into doing a medley of a 4-minute Roundabout with a segue into Owner of a Lonely Heart

But as for what they should perform? Tales, obviously. All of it. With extended solos. And extra verses. Twice.

Alternatively, Gates of Delirium, complete with the three-headed laser hydra from '74.

I didn't know that Yes song. A serious challenger to Europe's Final countdown.

truth!!!!!! LOL

obviously it will be some halfassed Roundabout/Owner of Lonely Heart concoction.  Nah...  not watching that

I'll catch the highlights here..  in all the years of the R&R HOF.. I've only made it a point to watch one ceremony.

My god that party was legendary...  I had a party at my place to celebrate the ABB getting in (that was the excuse at least)...  cases of beer were consumed.. empty whiskey bottles were thrown....windows were smashed... dealers were stiffed....virginities were lost.... police were dispatched...

Either Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People, Roundabout, or You and I.   As much as we would like to hear a deep cut, I just don't see Yes performing The Gates of Delirium for the ridiculous hall of fame.

Like many of you, I feel the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is petty, irrelevant, and unimportant.

What Yes?   Does anyone seriously believe the band still exists without Squire?   No.   No it doesn't.   At least no more than Zep did post-Bonham.

What a joke, they should have been in long ago.  What I wonder is will Jon Anderson join them and sing instead of their current singer.

It will most likely be Roundabout since that was sort of their mainstream breakthrough....

I thought of Close to the Edge, Roundabout, Starship Trooper, Yours is No Disgrace or maybe Owner of a Lonely Heart.

But the real answer to what Yes should perform is Tales from Topographic Oceans in full. That's what they should do.

Yes should grow some balls and tell the Hall to f*ck off like the Sex Pistols did.
