	Alan White - Biography - AOL Music
		White passed through the lineups of a lot of short-lived late-'60s outfits including Ginger Baker's Airforce (playing some keyboards there as well), where he was in the unfortunate position of working alongside legendary drummer Phil Seaman, who managed to eclipse his younger colleague at every turn.
		For the most part, however, White became the bedrock of the group's sound during the turbulent late-'70s era, when Yes was struggling with membership changes and the end of the progressive rock boom, which reduced their sales and audience.
		Indeed, it was White's breaking his ankle (at a roller-disco, no less) in late 1979 that precipitated the momentary end of the band that year, amid a disastrous attempt at recording a new album.

	Alan White - Drum Solo Artist
		Alan took to the drums immediately, and began performing publicly with a local band just three months later, at the ripe old age of 13.
		Alan and Yes gave each other three months to see if it would work out, and more than thirty years later, Alan is an integral part of the band, having played on every Yes studio and live album recorded since.
		Alan continues to play piano to this day, and was featured on several tracks on Yes' 2001 album 'Magnification', as well as live keyboard performances on the subsequent tour.

	Allan White drummer for rock band YES
		Alan's varied musical background and his experiences in his own group enabled him to climb onto the Yes drum rostrum on short notice with comparative ease.
		Alan and Yes gave each other three months to see if their styles were compatible.
		Considered one of the world's greatest drummers, Alan can lay down a barrage that gets the fans rocking no matter where they are in the arena.

	YES - meaning of word
		The group's emerging style coalesced on their next LP, the critically acclaimed ''The Yes Album'', which for the first time consisted entirely of original compositions by the band; it was also the record that united them with long-serving producer and engineer Eddie Offord; his studio expertise was a key factor in creating the Yes sound.
		To their surprise, Downes and Horn were invited to join Yes as full-time members; they accepted the invitation and performed on the ''Drama'' album in 1980.While ''Drama (Yes album)'' was well received by many fans (named "Panthers" after a feature of the album's artwork), many other Yes followers missed Anderson's unique lyrics and vocal style.
		Yes had major success throughout the rest of the 1980s, playing arenas and scoring major hits with "Leave It," "Love Will Find a Way," and "It Can Happen." By the end of the 1980s, Anderson grew tired of the new Yes sound and wanted the band to return to its classic sound.

	2112 Percussion - Alan White
		Alan White began piano studies at the age of six.
		He had only three days to learn Yes' extensive and complex repertoire before he was on the stage with them in Dallas on June 30, 1972, before 15,000 fans.
		It is those other sides of his musical nature that makes all the difference between Alan White being your typical musician and the great one he is. His talent will be enjoyed for years to come as he explores new avenues for himself and Yes to travel.

	Yes
		A major sidelight to the Yes story is the solo career of Rick Wakeman, who vied with Keith Emerson for the title of hottest 70s prog rock keyboard player, and sold almost as many records as Yes did during his mid-70s commercial peak.
		White and Squire appear on the first side, and there's a choir on one longish track, but otherwise this is Wakeman solo.
		Yes' big "comeback" record, it features their only American #1 hit single ever: the thoroughly mushy and annoying up-tempo harmony-fest "Owner Of A Lonely Heart." The funky follow-up single "Leave It" also hit the Top 40, and "It Can Happen" was all over the airwaves.

	Alan White Interview
		A lot of drummers with brothers who are also drummers would probably say, 'He had nothing to do with it', but he was a big inspiration for me. I think he is the governor when it comes to drumming, he's fantastic.
		Alan hasn't done the jazzer bit to the same extent as his brother, but with the relative simplicity of the Oasis gig has come an urge to get back into the, let's say, more cerebral side of drumming as well.
		Of all Alan's drum parts on Morning Glory, one of the highlights has to be his work on the blinding 'Wonderwall' (which most certainly plays a major part in the overall composition).

	CNN.com - Yes, in a word: Classic - September 5, 2002
		Yes took many roads less traveled -- roads that often led to the epic-length songs and arty concept albums their critics loved to hate.
		White scoffs at the notion that Yes' music, with its layers of sound and unusual time signatures, is an exercise in self-indulgence.
		Indeed, Yes continues to succeed in spite of its critics and a lack of radio airplay, save for a handful of hit singles -- particularly "Owner of a Lonely Heart," which topped the charts in 1983.

	Yes
		Yes (U.S.: Atlantic SD 8243; U.K.: Atlantic 588 190), was released in November, 1969.
		Yes was fortunate in its timing, because album-oriented-rock was becoming a force on the American airwaves by the end of the 1960s.
		Yes fans have stayed with the band throughout the years, but most will admit that the band never surpassed the peaks it achieved in the early 1970s.

		Tony: Yes there is a difference somewhat in the approach to one's style in writing and recording, primarily because of the influence of the people you are creating new music with.
		Yes, most drummers memorize all of the " Basic Rhythms " and it is very creative to incorporate different styles into one piece of music.

	Yesfans.com: Founded 4/01 - bruford or white?
		So anyways, Yes, Alan hasn't been the best drummer on the recent yes albums, but if Bruford was still in people would be saying the same, so it's really apples and oranges here, and taht's my point.
		Alan is a great guy, outstanding drummer, and total team player, but Bill was doing things in the early 70s that no one at the time could touch.
		Alan White helped YES to become a stadium band, and without him it could have been a very different story (think Gentle Giant record sales)...

	Alan White
		Although known primarily for his role in Yes -- a role he has maintained since replacing drummer Bill Bruford in 1972 -- Alan White had already amassed a great deal of experience as a professional musician before joining the band.
		Having been playing publicly since the age of 13, White moved through a number of bands during the latter half of the 1960s, including a brief period with Denny Laine in the band Balls and a prestige-boosting gig with Ginger Baker and Steve Winwood.
		In 1969, White received the call that transformed his career: an invitation by John Lennon to drum for the Plastic Ono Band at a show in Toronto.

		Yes pioneered the use of lasers, elaborate fantasy art inspired sets, "In-the-Round " revolving stages, the best sound engineering in the business and of course, their extrao rdinary musicianship.
		I'm a drummer and think that among other great percussionists and drummers, bill bruford and alan white are fantastic in their own right.
		Yes pretty much sticks to pre-1975 releases with the exception of "OOALH" and three selections from "Magnification," their fairly recent CD on which orchestral arrangements are overdubbed.

		The music of Yes has an almost otherworldy sound that is occasionally hard to reconcile with the sight of five very ordinary blokes standing on a stage.
		This is the classic Yes lineup of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White, captured in concert in California in 1996 (the same concerts spawned no less than two double-CD albums).

	Rolling Stone : Yes: Biography
		Curiously enough, Yes' 1969 debut is a relatively down-to-earth affair -- and a not very inspired one at that.
		The Yes Album is a gigantic leap forward, with extended workouts such as the ethereal "Starship Trooper" emphasizing the band members' individual virtues.
		In Bill Bruford, Yes had a hip, jazzy drummer; in Chris Squire, a bassist willing to dominate the mix with his elephantine lines; and in Tony Kaye, an organist who used his Hammond sparingly, for funkier effect.

		Being a Yes fan, I walked into "White" with an open mind, but I was admittedly looking for the promise of a new prog synergy.
		Alan White's drumwork stands out on this recording, and it is worth checking out.
		I always thought Alan White took too much heat as the replacement for the peerless Bill Bruford, 'cause he provided me with many many moments of rhythmic euphoria on "Yessongs", "Tales", "Relayer", "Going for the One" and others.

	RAMSHACKLED
		Alan White’s first (and only) solo album garnered its share of criticism, both from critics (because it was associated with Yes) and Yes fans (because it didn’t sound enough like Yes).
		But remembering for the moment that White had only been with Yes a short while, his music naturally draws equally from past employers such as John Lennon, Gary Wright and Joe Cocker.
		Ramshackled’s failure may be that Yes fans, who were curious for a window into what made White tick, know as little about his muse now as they did before.
