One of the greatest names in classic rock; Yes have been on the circuit for an incredible 34 years. Jon Anderson; Steve Howe; Rick Wakeman; Chris Squire and Bill Bruford are just some of the star players who helped take the band to incredible heights.Their turbulent story spans the early days of pub and club gigs; international super group status in the heyday of rock; and various line-ups since. Chris Welchs definitive biography has been updated to include the historic return of Rick Wakeman to the classic Yes line up during 2002 and their subsequent highly successful tour of America.

Shane MacGowan is aliveBy Robyn LoewenthalAn excellent read.A must for any Pogues or Shane MacGowan fan. Shanes legend still survives way past what most people expected0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Needs More MacGowanBy Bob MamrakThis is a nice piece of work that most Pogues fans will enjoy. Still. like most things written about the band it avoids the elephant in the room. Wed have never heard of the Pogues if not for Shane MacGowan. It attempts to treat each Pogue equally. but some Pogues are more equal than others. While its true the Pogues were more than MacGowans backing band. MacGowan was infinately more than the Pogues frontman. His genius is inadequately covered.Rake at the Gates of Hell: Shane MacGowan in Context
