Numerous certified albums. Numerous hit singles with Owner of a Lonely Heart being a chart-topper.

The Hall has inducted Yes along with ELO, Rush, and The Moody Blues. Yes was referenced in a variant of the iconic comedy sketch Who's on First along with The Band. They were inducted by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush. They also helped transfer prog into the rise of arena rock along with Asia and Styx. They had a major influence on neo-progressive rock band Marillion. Their song I've Seen All Good People is actually a protest song, going along with the counterculture staples of the time.
