Flash ― In the Can (1972) Formed in 1971 by former Yes guitarist Peter Banks, this criminally overlooked prog-rock quartet made three stunning albums before disbanding in 1974. Their second album was their best. Tracks such as “Lifetime” and “Monday Morning Eyes” distilled all the ingredients of vintage Yes to their streamlined, guitar-centered essence.

Peter Banks (Yes, Flash) Before there was Steve Howe, there was Peter Banks. Artistic differences between Banks and singer Jon Anderson prompted Banks’s departure from Yes in 1970, but in his little-known ‘70s band, Flash, Banks used an ES-335 to create several should-have-been prog rock classics. “Lifetime,” from Flash’s In the Can album, is his tour-de-force.
