It has to be method = "PQL" (the quotes are important) except that the
PQL method is no longer an option in lmer.  Beginning with
lme4_0.99875-0, which was uploaded today, the Laplace approximation is
the default method for generalized linear mixed models.

It would be simplest to use

lmer(success ~ yearF + (1|bandnumb), quality, binomial)
