YES, I have heard of this Band

YES, is a British progressive rock band that formed in 1968. I recognized their song “Roundabout” from the viral “to be continued...” meme, which used to have me in stitches back then (I swear my humour has gotten better with time).

Besides that 2012 meme, the band is known for its complex and intricate music, featuring elements of classical music, jazz, and rock. They are also known for their use of elaborate stage setups and visuals during their live performances. 

Despite numerous lineup changes over the years, YES has maintained a reputation as one of the pioneers of the progressive rock genre and continue to perform and record music to this day.
