Yes bassist Chris Squire has passed away
« on: June 29, 2015, 10:23:06 pm »
Bassist from 70's prog rock band Yes died a few days ago.  They are a very prolific band, but mostly known hit-wise for the song "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", which was a massive No.1 hit in America in 1983.  One of the best and recognizable guitar riffs of all time right up there with "Smoke On The Water", "Money For Nothing" and "Stairway To Heaven".

A sad time for music indeed. We've lost some great musicians this year.
