ANderson, Trevor Horn and Trevor Rabin. It’s an area we seldom look at so it was very enjoyable to examine a different aspect of the music of Yes and I definitely learned a lot from what Mark said about his choices. I’m sure you will as well. As always, we’d love to see what your suggestions are for great 80s Yes lyrics so do leave your choices on the show notes for this episode.

Are there differences between lyrics by different Yes frontmen?

Do the other writers try to sound like Jon Anderson?

What makes a good Yes lyric?

Let us know if you agree with us!
