I have to concur with Rick here....
Putting "Yes" in the RNRHOF would be like putting Dwight David Eisenhower in the hall of fame for Camp Fire Girls. Besides, "Yes" is not a R&R band is it?

And besides, why should the Hall of Fame be in the U.S.? It should be in Great Britian!

I don't know that I'll go along with this one Rick. Rock and Roll was born in America. Although arguably some of the best of the early rock bands in history eminated from Great Britain, it is important to remember that these Brittish pioneers in R&R were mainly influenced by American Bluesmen. Also, the marketing strategies of the American record labels and the spending habits of American teenagers played a large part in the success of those Brittish bands. Not that THAT means anything....
