Chris Squire's main claim to fame was as the bassist for prog rock superheroes Yes. His first rock group was the Selfs (1965), before he formed the Syn. His next outfit was Mabel Greer's Toyshop, who eventually brought in vocalist Jon Anderson as a member, leading to Yes being established in 1968. When the group took a break in 1975, Squire released what is arguably his best work, Fish Out of Water. Yes' 1983 album 90125 and the single "Owner of a Lonely Heart" would propel the band to a level of commercial success they had never seen before. Squire played with the group until his death in 2015. In the meantime, his other projects included Conspiracy (with Yes' Billy Sherwood) and Esquire (with Nikki Squire, his wife at the time). His bass work also appeared on several solo LPs from Yes members and an album by Eddie Harris.
