Cross-media picks for Yes fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.
These picks share the conviction that music isn't background noise — it's what people organise their lives around. From Soviet underground rock scenes smuggling Bowie records to animated teenagers forming bands against the odds, from memoir-soaked guitar histories to rhythm games that put a real kit under your hands, the thread running through all of it is music treated as a serious, almost sacred pursuit. Yes fans who feel that way will find the same belief here, across every medium.
