For those of you who didn't follow rlr's article, here is the real story:

Tony Banks:  Keyboardist for Genesis.

Peter Banks: Guitarist for Yes from 1968 to 1970.  Played on "Yes" and
	     "Time and a Word".  Left Yes and formed Flash.  Solo album
	     ("Two Sides of Peter Banks"), featuring Jan Akkermann (sp?).
	     Unrelated to Tony Banks.  Original last name:  Brockbanks.

Tony Kaye:   Keyboardist for Yes from 1968 to 1971.  Left Yes and joined
	     Flash, but quit after first album.  Formed Badger.  Rejoined
	     Yes (well, not Yes, but a band with many of the same people
	     that calls itself Yes) in 1983.

Tony Kaye was also a member of the short-lived Detective, featuring former
Silverhead singer (and member of French nobility) Michael Des Barres and
(really!) former Steppenwolf guitarist Michael Monarch.  TK also toured the 
US with (the remnants of) Badfinger a few years back, but I don't know if
he was a "member" or not.  I don't recall his being a member of Flash; I'll 
have to check my references on that.
