Trevor Rabin had served as guitarist-composer for one of progressive rock's flagship bands. Yet, after 14 years of recording, he only appeared on three and one half albums. However, the Rabin albums have sold more than all other YES albums combined. Since Rabin's departure, the band has changed its keyboardists four times. Significantly, none of the later Yes albums have enjoyed much success, despite the return of the "classic" line-up. Their worldwide fan-base remains quite vital, however.
