The Yes Album set the stage for the band's route to superstardom with Fragile and their epic masterpiece Close To The Edge. This was their first commercial success and, reportedly, it had to be or Atlantic was going to cut them loose. The Yes Album is generally considered a classic 1970s rock album and a highlight of the band's long career. The songs "Starship Trooper" and "I've Seen All Good People" are still staples of classic rock radio. In 2000 Q magazine placed it at number 86 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
