Yes legendary bassist Chris Squire passed away last night, lost his brief battle with leukemia. As a noob bassist, this is quite saddening. He was 67.

Bummer, he was one of the best. Big fan of Yes and all of the associated bands like Asia, King Crimson & ELP.

Thanks Moose... was just going to post this. Howe and Squire are historic on this track. Can't think of any better 1-2 punch in history at the moment when it comes to a song.

Very sad. Truely the best at what he did. He played the base like a lead. Yes and especially Squire always kept you guessing what note was coming next with great anticipation.

i readily admit that I was not a fan of Yes until I spent the better part of a night listening to their initial album with a friend in some dorm at ND with a friend. Lysergic acid diethylamide was involved. It was neither my room nor his. A dorm-mate joined, briefly, and tried to join our conversation. When we revealed just what we up to, he left. He admitted that there was no way that he could follow or keep up with our scattered conversation.

But I digress. I gained an appreciation for his skill and sensibility on the bass that night. He is missed by this wayward soul.

And a great songwriter.

It is a travesty that YES isn't in the RRHOF!
