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. -- Like a sturgeon (GLURG!), caught for the very first time... Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
