Yes drummer Alan White has died, his family confirmed in a statement that was also shared by the band. White died Thursday (May 26) at his Seattle home after a brief illness. “Throughout his life and six-decade career, Alan was many things to many people: a certified rock star to fans around the world; bandmate to a select few, and gentleman and friend to all who met him,” his family wrote. White was 72.

One of my favorite groups.

I'm glad I got to see them play in Seattle area once.

Their psychedelic stuff before they broke out was pretty good. Heavily influenced by Pink Floyd. Turned to crap real quick once they landed a good label.

Stuff I love:

The Yes Album, from 1971 (Yours is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People, Perpetual Change)
Fragile, from 1971 (Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround, The Fish)

Then not much until the awesome:

90125, from 1983 (Owner of a Lonely Heart, It Can Happen, Changes, Leave It, Hearts)
