Yet in the 80s the band rallied, firstly as part of an unlikely collaboration with a new wave duo, then with \u003cem\u003e90125\u003c\/em\u003e, the most successful album of their career, which spawned a number one hit in the USA with \u003cem\u003eOwner Of A Lonely Heart\u003c\/em\u003e. The band failed to capitalise on this success, however, lingering too long over its successor \u003cem\u003eBig Generator\u003c\/em\u003e and by the end of the decade, Yes had effectively split into two versions of the same band. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith most authors concentrating on the group's 1970s career, \u003cem\u003eYes in the 1980s\u003c\/em\u003e looks in forensic detail at this relatively underexamined era of the band's history, featuring rarely-seen photos researched by author David Watkinson. The book follows the careers of all nine significant members of the group during a turbulent decade which saw huge highs but also many lows. Not only does it consider the three albums the band itself made across the decade, but also the solo careers and other groups (including Asia, XYZ, The Buggles, Jon and Vangelis and GTR) formed by those musicians as the decade wound towards a reunion of sorts in the early 1990s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceSdLyaIwjHlNKuqLNkdNuvw\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sonicbond Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48430477312258,"sku":"BK-SON-YES-001-O","price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_7779_1.jpg?v=1788435433","url":"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/products\/yes-in-the-1980s-decades","provider":"Books About Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
