I'm very proud of it as a Yes record amongst many of the other Yes records.

I think partly the problem with Yes - and I've had this discussion with people from the Hall of Fame in the past - is that it's going to be difficult to decide how many of the members of Yes you're gonna put in it and how many you're not because of the extensive membership of the band through the years.

In the '70s, you had to come up with an album every year whether you were ready or not.

The idea of 'Yes on Broadway' has come up. It would reflect the history of Yes.

I did a pop album, 'Sogno,' in 1999. I think it's important to record another pop album because many people love pop music. By this kind of repertoire, some people can later discover classical music.

It was quite a shot in the head to do the album and then have it shot down by nonmusical idiots.

I don't think the label cares about an album... People just want their number-one record.

I think what the story of Yes has been is we've wandered in and out of different styles over the years.

There isn't one album that says 'Hall & Oates.' It's always 'Daryl Hall and John Oates.' From the very beginning. People never note that. The idea of 'Hall & Oates,' this two-headed monster, this thing, is not anything we've ever wanted or liked.

Then we did what we called basically I suppose a club tour in England, which was the time I think that our second album came out, we club toured around the whole country where the venues were hold to five hundreds upwards to that sort of thing you know.
