What country is the rock group Yes from?

Yes is an English rock group, formed in London in 1968. The band became one of the defining acts of progressive rock, a style known for extended compositions, unusual time signatures, elaborate arrangements, and album-oriented storytelling.

The original lineup included Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Peter Banks, Tony Kaye, and Bill Bruford. Their early albums, including Yes and Time and a Word, established the group before records such as The Yes Album, Fragile, and Close to the Edge made them internationally prominent.

A common mix-up is calling Yes an American band because the group became especially popular in the United States and spent extensive time touring there. Its origin, however, is London, England. The band’s membership changed repeatedly over the decades, but its English origin remains the same.
