The British quintet started out in the late sixties as one of the pioneer bands of progressive rock. Featuring the fretboard wizardry of bass player Chris Squire and guitar ace Steve Howe, the albums Fragile (1971) and Close To The Edge (1972) featured long and intricate tracks with several tempo and key changes. They subsequently evolved towards a cleaner and simpler pop sound, culminating with 90125 in 1983 and the hit single Owner Of A Lonely Heart. In recent years, they finally came back to prog rock, much to their fan’s delight.
