You can hear this song a million times and it doesn't get old.

Record executive: So do you guys play rock, jazz, funk, pop, or classical? Yes: Yes.

It's a sort of fusion of rock , classical and jazz. Always surprised by Yes music. I' m 80 and still love them

This is the classy. Yes is very very great. Thank You!!

This is just the beginning of your Yes journey, Ambrose Cynthia - when this music was created, sound engineers knew how to mix music; there was no Autotune to cover discrepencies in vocal ability; fundamentally, this is pure talent - forget many of the modern contemporaries - they aren't even in the same league. Welcome to our world . Thank you for your presentation. Keep safe, Andrew :)

Music like this functions differently from most popular music. One of the reasons it changes and creates surprises so much is that this is what life does. You could be walking down the street, then something will happen that you didn't expect. This will make the rest of your day go in an unexpected direction. This music does the same thing. And if it repeats something, it does it a little differently from the first time - just like real life. How do they make their instruments do what they do? They learn their instruments and learn music. Then they explore their creativity. It's like a painter who explores what color can do, or a film director who explores what cinematography, acting, and scriptwriting can do. This is art. You are experiencing this the way it should - and experiencing it as a personal and intimate revelation. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us; it's a beautiful thing to see.

YES has excelled in Progressive Rock with their instrumentation and stories involved with their songs! They capture moods and feelings and they are memorizing to watch and listen to!

For you I now highly recommend "And You And I" for your next Yes song.

Roundabout! One of YES' best. Played last at every show for years and years and years!

I wish all reactors understood the importance of wearing headphones like you, Ambrose. Excellent!

Called 'Art Rock' or the beginnings of Prog Rock, Yes was at the forefront of a new style of rock which took you on a wonderful journey. Contemporaries included The Moody Blues, King Crimson, Pink Floyd and they are direct influences of Rush and even Dream Theater. The rabbit hole is deep and wide. Have fun and enjoy!

You have won The Prize for The Cutest Reaction to ROUNDABOUT I've seen, so far. They surprise you because they're Geniuses. 😉👌

Thank you for reacting to my favorite band!!!

One of my favourite YES numbers 👍 awesome in every way 👏👏👏

"I love this!" you say. I say, I love watching your reactions, and seeing your emotions play across your face! It is truly SO uplifting, to see a lovely young person getting to know and love the music that folk of my generation have been listening to - and blown away by - by for decades! Have you listened to "Turn of the Century" yet? I'd love to see your reaction to what I think is the most moving and emotional Yes song ever. Music and lyrics are pretty well perfect.

The amazing thing about YES is they could nail this stuff live!

You have just thrown yourself into the beautiful world of progressive rock. :-)

This has been my first listen to one of your song reaction videos. I like how you actively listen and will check out more of your posts.

Starship Trooper 😍. Perfect song, just like the others...❤️☮️

God bless you and thank you!

Its like riding a roller coaster, huh? Starts out calm and smooth and then gets crazy and ends just as calm and smooth. :)

1971!!!: this whole album was a shock for music world. With their brand new keyboardist R.Wakeman they begun a road for a new way of understanding the word progressive

You’re now my favorite tractor! Thank you for all of the yes!

A great and timeless song - a true classic! If you want to hear a breakdown of what's going on, listen to Rick Beato, a musician and former college music professor, do Roundabout on his "What Makes this Song Great" series. @ It's a real education as he listens section by section, examining each instrument's key parts, and talking a little bit about the theory and production. Well worth the time. Thanks for listening and sharing! Peace from SF

Wonderful reaction, thank you. I agree 'And You and I' should be next. Then in order if you like: 'Turn of The Century', 'Yours is No Disgrace', 'Long Distance Runaround', 'Starship Trooper', 'Awaken' and then 'Gates of Delirium' 😊

This band pored their hearts into their music and your heart heard it. I could tell.

Other great songs by Yes = And You & I, I've Seen All Good People, Heart Of The Sunrise, Turn Of The Century, Wonderous Stories, Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, America, Owner Of A Lonely Heart, Love Will Find A Way, Awaken, etc. etc.

Yes is one brilliant band!!!👌✌😎

You must watch Yessongs...the concert video of the tour for Fragile and Close to the Edge in 1973...everything you are hearing they did live and more. As for why you don't know Yes...they fell victim to the long backlash against prog rock when punk came in and survived with us fans for decades...but now it seems that they are having a renaissance with the younger generation finding them on their own and loving it. Much appreciation from this big fan for bringing Yes to the world with your wonderful reaction videos!!!

I saw them twice in Madison Square Garden. Great musicians and concerts.

The part that starts ~<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="277">4:37</a>, the tuned percussion is, yes, milk bottles filled with different amounts of water, according to Bill Bruford. You can bring it in to science and music classes.

you are a lovely lady and your reaction to bands like Yes and Genesis are priceless, I think that you might enjoy another band called Renaissance with Annie Haslam, I hope that you like it, God bless you always my friend ❤🙏

Always check in when I see someone listening to Yes....So nice to see your open and thoughtful reaction. I agree with Mark and those who might suggest you would enjoy "And You And I..." but, my personal recommendation would be "Turn of the Century" (studio version first)..... Thank you again for the positive content!!!!

Nothing sexier than a young black girl reacting to the music of YES.a progressive rock band from the early seventies AMAZING!!

Perfection....closest art rock to pure classical mesh.. Ever!!

Roundabout is a timeless classic.I have loved it for fifty years or so.Wakeman's fills on the keys and Squire's funky bassline are legendary.Then,soaring above are the wonderful vocals of Jon Anderson and,Howe's lovely guitar work.What magic the band conjure up. together....there is definitely some alchemy happening on this one.

Congratulations for finding Yes, but you've have only just scratched the surface. There's loads more out there and many other progressive rock bands to check out as well. I've been a fan of Yes since 1971 and it's always good to welcome any new member to the 'Prog Rock' fan club especially young people. So welcome to the club.

Saw them live a few times. Amazing concerts

This song is like a firework display.

"Turn Of The Century" will have you in tears.

The preferred way to listen to this is driving through Scotland

It is well wort watching some of the videos posted by the drummer on this piece, Bill Bruford, who has a PhD in music. He is a brilliant teacher and musician.

Awaken. Trust me 😄

"Yours is No Disgrace"

So many moving parts - A lot to handle all at once. Especially the first time around. This is probably the 1,000th and something time fo me and it's still daunting. But it never gets old - You did well !!!

Hi Cynthia, there you go with another awesome reaction, they were one of the first pioneering Prog Rock bands with their own sound this is why they inspired so many musicians who followed for example the great Rush and hence they tend to shock first time listeners. I just love listening with you it also takes me to another higher place I am there with you all the way, thank you so much.

Yes you definitely need to hear more Yes. And since you've started the first songs on each album, 'Fragile' for this one and the title song on 'Close To the Edge' the other one, you should do them in order as 'concept albums' of this nature are meant to be heard. I suggest do the 2nd song on the Close To the Edge album called "And You and I". @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="635">10:35</a> I can answer that! That my dear IS the main characteristic of progressive rock. The unexpected! ✌️😎

Hi Cynthia, I played Keyboards and one of my favorite groups is Yes. The great Keyboardist, Rick Wakeman, blew my mind. The other group is Emerson Lake and Palmer and a good one from them for you to start with is "From the Beginning"

Yes was one of favorites when i was ~16, my high school music teacher who loved classical music and jazz used to play Yes for us students but most of us students was already fans. I now rediscover YES through a lot of reactions on youtube and I have realized that back then I was not really aware of the power of the bass guitar and the drums that made all songs of YES great.

My favorite song. Always. Welcome to prog rock.

If you like this kind of music ... there is still a lot of ;-) One of the best songs for me is "Awaken" from the album "Going For The One". If you ever want to hear a quieter, just beautiful and atmospheric song by Yes: "Final Eyes" from the album "Big Generator".

I suggest to put 'Turn of the Century' on your list. One of their best from a little later in their creative arc and a bit different with a blend of romantic ballad but still with the great prog rock and classical sensibilities. A truly beautiful song in all aspects. Otherwise welcome aboard the Yes reality. You are proving this music will never die.

People have already mentioned a bunch of mainly 70s classics. For slightly more recent songs also try out: Mind Drive (Keys to Ascension 2), Homeworld + It Will be a Good Day (The Ladder); Sad Night at the Airfield (Fly from Here).

the strange sound at the start was a piano recorded backwards

This sweetheart of a woman has been listening to Rap, Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga, for most of her growing up years. Now, she's being exposed to a renaissance of (50) years, half a century ago, that people will still be listening to in (100) years, a century from now.

I absolutely loved this reaction. You listened to the music and just let it make you feel however it made you feel.......it was great.

Not known to most people is the song The Only Thing She Needs by U.K., a supergroup formed in, you guessed it, London, UK. I think they're highly underrated and might be worth checking out.

Amazing to see these reactions of young folks listening to music created before they were even born! Young folks, learn to read, right and compose music on real instruments, not computer softwar. You'll surprise yourself with your own creativity.

This is Yes' high water mark. Nothing else they did before or after equals it, IMO. However, it's a lot to take in in one listening. The incredible virtuosity of each musician in Yes can easily overwhelm all of the other great things about this recording. The seemingly telepathic playing between them is just stunning. The arrangement, singing, playing and the song itself is so superb that it shocks the senses. I've heard it perhaps hundreds of times since it came out on Fragile in 1971 and I'm still completely bowled over by it. Your reaction to Roundabout is no surprise and is similar to everyone I know who has ever heard it.

Ambrose:”I love this...Howe”...yes, he’s the guitarist. Lol.😂

YES! was ahead of their time

Little girl ❤

This whole album is absolutely amazing I have the vinyl it's a real treat to listen to especially since they was super young when they recorded it ✌️👍

Yes. The band that would not let an idea last for more then 10 seconds. These guys were about 22 when they made this. FYI there was a battle going on between groups, King Crimson had just blown all their ideas away (Yes drummer Bill Bruford on KC's 1969 Hyde Park show: "Unbelievable. We were scared to death... no-one knew a rock band could play like that!" see kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htR7oql537PXZaM.html ) so Yes had to do better! But there were other bands upping the ante... At some point you'll get calls for Gates of Delirium (Relayer side 1). Be warned - the music is beautiful but some messages dark and scary. This tells of a society deciding to go to war and Yes really holds you in to feel what war is like - war is ugly, cruel and full of regrets. Side 2 of Relayer is perhaps the safest - Sound Chaser is really good. Good reaction! :) PS Bill Bruford then went to play with KC: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZdnZ9yA0JO8g5c.html

So happy for you that you are in-the-know, what a amazing song, destine to be carried into the future along with Penny Lane.

Love playing the intro. Song rocks.

you have a very open mind that's a great quality

A fantastic classic Yes song with their distinctive uplifting positive Yes sound. The whole Fragile LP is a masterpiece and can be recommend. However, you should try Starship Trooper but look for the version on Yessongs 1973, this is a 3 LP live set. That is the best version, fantastic and you can feel how Yes worked with the audience to go up a level. All the songs on Yessongs are great and show how they professionally played those complex songs live and elevated them for the fans. The fans all knew all the songs but came to concert for a new experience and Yes delivered. So for me I like the studio versions (clean and sharp) and the live versions (energetic, adapted for the audience, with audience noise). Thank-you for a great video and great reaction. Yes is a band that explored new places during its classic era in the early to mid 70's always taking you to new wonderful places with their soundscapes. So wonderful to see this music reaching a new generation. Keep exploring.

If you like YES, listen to the whole album of "90125", especially "Changes and Leave It". What a great album!!!!!

Yes, wow!

I love that you love this! The joy in your face is magical.

The group members were veterans of various 1960s British pop groups, none of them particularly successful, so when they came together they brought everything to bear on the music. Steve Howe later explained how other groups would just play their songs, but Yes approached it from a composer's point of view. If you have a lot of ideas, why not just use them all! The key addition on this album was classically-trained pianist (and a pioneer in the use of synthesizers) Rick Wakeman, who also went on to success as a solo artist.

love this song great reaction

Yes takes me on magical journeys even after a thousand listens ❤️❤️❤️

I have discover Yes in the 80' ; with the title " lonely heart" (in France), but this group exist since the end of 60' , this title seems to have a psychedelic vibe and rock an melting pot of this time J'ai découvert Yes dans les années 80 '; Avec le titre "Heart Lonely" , mais ce groupe existe depuis la fin de 60 ans, ce titre semble avoir une ambiance psychédélique et rock , melange de cette époque

Additional prog-rock rabbit holes to wander down: Moody Blues ("Nights in White Satin" - make sure it's the full eight-minute-ish version, "Question") Emerson, Lake & Palmer ("Trilogy," "The Endless Enigma" - again, get all of it, around 10 minutes)

That song is the ear-candy equivalent of a whole bag of Halloween treats eaten all at once. But in a good way.

This is one thing that I also love about yur reaction videos... Without pausing the song, or saying much, I can see from your facial expression oly. how much you have enjoyed the music... and how carefully you are listening to it. There are already so many other Yes songs being suggested to you that I don't even have to suggest antoher to you, so choose and go visiting and discovering "other planets" (as you have said). Hugs and kisses : Gerry

Interestingly, Yes is viewed as epitomizing progressive rock. I once ran across a book on the prog rock scene titled "Mountains Come Out Of The Sky." They are the ultimate band in the genre and will remain timeless.

Now you are all warmed up and ready for Fools overture from Supertramp and the A Dream Within a Dream/The Raven from the Alan Parsons Project

Very Good Reaction Ambrose and THank You for not pausing and stopping the flow of this wonderful song:)

there are many other progressive rock bands - it's an extraordinary genre, very creative, historical... I love all genres of music, even black music is fantastic... funk, jazz, reggae, soul, blues, rhythm 'n blues (rnb) etc ... all music is fantastic (classical music is wonderful too) hello from Italy! (&good listening!) you're very gracious (ps: 4example.. Pink Floyd gives me much strong emotion... (certain songs).. but tastes are tastes)

Welcome to the Yes rabbit hole. Enjoy the rest of “Fragile”. A sonic masterpiece....

First, you are lovely. Secondly, I commend you for listening to all types of music. Lastly, I appreciate your insight.

Listen to Mexican (Babe Ruth)...fantastic song. Also Eagle by Abba...just incredible...

Epic tune! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hi young lady have a look at sound chaser by Yes it will blow your socks off lol. Thank's and keep safe all the best fro m England.

Two more great ones,' Awaken ', and ' Gates of Delirium '.

My number one favorite is "The Gates of Delirium"

Great music grabs your attention and refuses to let go.

Early Yes is an emotional experience to be enjoyed.

Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Yes is a good group to dive into Progressive or Prog Rock. Think Jazz and Rock fusion with time fusions and amazing musicianship. I see you liked A Cappella so I would suggest you check out Home Free, they are a country/faith/pop A Cappella group, try 'Man of Constant Sorrow', 'Ring of Fire', 'Helplessly Hoping' and many others. If you liked Yes, check out 'And You and I' by Yes or 'Carry on Wayward Son' by Kansas for some amazing Rock Classic music try the band Boston (Their entire first album song by song) 'More than a Feeling' 'Peace of Mind' and 'Foreplay/Longtime' are good starters. For heavier music try Iron Maiden 'Hallowed be they Name' or a live song like 'Fear of the Dark' at Rock in Rio. Thanks for sharing. Chris

I had the great pleasure in 1976 of seeing Yes, Peter Frampton, and Garry Wright all in one concert. Wonderful day. Check out each of those other names for great music too.

A new Yes fan! Good day all around.....

SHE"S SPEECHLESS.

Yes does that to you. Try "And You And I" some time. You'll love it, I promise.

Yes.... Close your eyes, it's the best way ... They give us so much to listen to. I was about as young as you when it came out.... It was our new orchestral music....

AMBROSE CYNTHIA, I FIRST HEARD YES, AND "ROUNDABOUT". AFTER A THUNDERSTORM STARING OUT A WINDOW SCREEN WATCHING THE LEFT OVER LIGHTNING FLASH ACROSS THE DARK SKY. I KNEW THEN THAT LISTENING TOO 2 AND A HALF MINUTE SONGS HAD COME TO AN END.. NICE REACTION AND THANKS... more Yes.. "STARTROOPER", "LONG DISTANCE RUNAROUND", "AIM HIGH SHOOT LOW"...

So cool to see you appreciate it at such a deep level. yes has been there for me and some of the darkest times of my life and has helped me in so many ways and still does to this day they have so much material and it's all so diverse. 🌿 Thank you ~

I thank all your ancestors who combined to give you such a geometrically beautiful face. And I thank you for the beautiful energy inside you that makes the expressions and feels the feelings.
