Re: Petition to get Yes into R&R HOF

I kind of side with Rick on this one. I say why stop with Yes? The Moody Blues aren't in there and neither is Rush, Genesis, ELP, Jethro Tull or King Crimson. WHy stop there? Camel, Gentle Giant, PFM, VDGG, the list goes on and on. I disagree that it's a popularity contest. RUsh have sold tons of records(more than Yes)and ditto Genesis. Neither are in there. It seems that any band who is associated with prog even moderately gets in there which is why I'm not sure how Pink Floyd and especially Frank Zappa got in there.

One shouldn't need to prove their love for a band by signing a petition that only "feeds the machine" so to speak. I love Yes and also like the other bands that I mentioned but to quote on these groups songs: "really don't mind if I sit this one out......"
