My wife just showed me this, a summary of the history of Yes, and while there's a number issues and disagreements with it from me, and even the fact he doesn't know how to pronounce Trevor Rabin's name (it's RAY-BIN by the way).
This is an interesting illustration of the Fraternity and story of Yes with the drama, backstabbing, and conflicts that happened regularly throughout most of their history.
I don't have the time to elaborate on this and others, but it does beg the desire for more details and even a list of some of the bands who have this kind of history. Why my wife hates BANDS for the most part and thinks solo artists work much better per the lack of arguments and EGOS.

Local Natives =/= Fleet Kittens WILL IT EVER END?
rollingstone.com review
I may just come to expect it every fucking time. I mean there ya go, more or less PROOF of the naivete of the hipster.
But while Fleet Foxes gravitate towards more rootsy, Crosby, Stills and Nash-style harmonics, Local Natives draw on the Talking Heads’ brand of Afro-pop (Gorilla Manor actually features a cover of Talking Heads’ “Warning Sign”).
uhh, Local Natives are influenced by CSN&Y. As much if not MORE than FFs.
One of the 1st interviews I saw with Cavil at Rest they MENTIONED Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Buddy, what fucking color is the sky in your world?
Not to mention the video there is a verbatim read of what is written (or transcribed?) in print. Also the guy sounds rather nervous and rushed as he's talking; which honestly makes him sound quite insincere and SCRIPTED.
But it's Rolling-Shit, basically the grandfather to Pukefork, and father to eMpTv. But the pathetic thing is, far too many people will see/read this and immediately think Local Natives are just like Fleet Foxes.
=/= but > 
by the way, the bonus DVD on the UK Edition from 2009 of Gorilla Manor is pretty boss. 6 tracks, acoustic, shot in various sites on tour. Some outdoors, some indoors. Some B&W.
