Do you know what common interest brought Squire and Anderson together to form
the band in the first place?  They both liked Simon & Garfunkel!!!  (hence,
the use of "America" as a very early tune in their repertoire, re-done by
the Fragile line-up for the compilation album).

The legend is that the band name was suggested by Peter Banks after watching
"Yellow Submarine", with all the "YES"es and "LOVE"s that popped up
on the screen at the end of the film.  The original logo of the band (the word
YES in a comic-strip style "balloon"), bears this out.
