Considering his solo, career, it has to be Wakeman.

As a muiscal career in general, definitlly Brufford. For there work in Yes or ABWH, Howe gets my vote. But, since thats not the question, Brufford gets my vote for Earthworks, Crimson etc.

But where Wakeman gets, good, he gets really good. I would give more 5 star albums to Wakeman than to Yes.

Wakeman had the most enjoyable music out of all them, so my vote is clear.

 yes, his stares at the audience are as creepy as a human(skeleton, oops) gets... still his my absolutely favorite Yes member bruford would've been close but he admitted someplace i can't quite remember that he associated his name with Yes on the Union tour just for the $$$$$$!! i admire his playing especially with Crimson but... Bruford NOT COOL!!!!!

Wakeman as a musician and a person. Bruford is too close

Bruford without a doubt.
I agree with a previous statement. On ABWH the only flaw was the electronic drum sound, could have used a little more variation in that departement (still great album BTW, or like Bruford put it, ABWH could have gone somewhere if only they had given it more time)

Bruford. I'd like to see him lay down some music with Fripp again.

Bruford, for sure. One of my favorite drummers, behind Vinnie Colaiuta.

This has been done before with similar results I think. Personally, I would take Alan White over Bruford any day. Bruford is too jazzy for my taste. Steve and Rick are my favourite Yes members.
