Either way, much like many of the prog bands that survived during the 80's, they sold out to MTV and air play. As much as I despise that trend, I can't say I blame them, either.
I actually liked the way YES transcended from the 70s to the 80s with more funk to their music, with singles like Owner Of A Lonely Heart and The Rhythm Of Love.

I don't really see them as selling out.

All (artist/bands) made music videos in the 80s.
