| Inspired by the poll 'Anderson vs. Anderson" another funny idea came to my mind. Please vote for your favourite (doesn't matter when born), considering his solo career. |

Brufford. He not only steered clear from much of the drama involving yes, but has an almost impecable Curriculum Vitae / discography. -------------

Wakeman haz gods. Lotz of tehm. ...Internet speak apart, I really like Wakeman's solo career, over the rest's, so my vote goes for him. ------------- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A veces es cuestión de esperar, y tomarte en silencio. |

Billy boy surely beats the rest, and his associations with his other bands (Genesis, King Crimson, UK, Bruford/Moraz) were outstanding compared to the others projects (IMHO). He's in the top 3 drummers I have ever seen in my life. 1 - Buddy Rich 2 - Carl Palmer 3 - Bill Bruford ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Even though his hideous drum sounds are the biggest flaw of the ABWH album, overall I like Bill the most. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

| Jon Anderson because of his fabulous compositions and original style of lyric writing, but I like the others as well. |

Certainty of the year, Joel  I agree. The genius of Olias, Animation, Toltec, and Change We Must eclipses all of the others best solo stuff. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

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. |

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

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) ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

I'm rather partial to Wakeman's solo material, though for the quantity there's a lot that leaves something to be desired.

Great musicians all, but Bruford for me....

 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!!!!!  ------------- Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk. |

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

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

| 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. |

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