Petition to get Jon Anderson back into Yes

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not. Apparently it was taken off of Yesfans(for whatever reason). Anyway, there are actually two of them.

I'd rather Yes without him.

Yes is definitely better with Jon, but if they don't want him/he doesn't want to be in (don't know the situation), then he won't be in it. You can't force these things.

Yes don't need Jon though I have very low expectations of Yes.

If I change my ID to Satan_Is_Our_Savior do I get a pass?

If Benoit was still on lead vocals this would probably be something I really wanted, but I have now see Yes twice with Jon Davison and I don't really care anymore if Jon Anderson comes back. I'm sure I would love it if he did, but I would be perfectly happy if Yes kept Davison for the rest of their career.

I would love to hear Yes with Benoit and Jon. I also think that Jon Davidson and Jon Anderson would make a good musical collaboration.

I think Yes could easily manage with different lineups - it's what they're good at.  they can do a 25th anniversary Reunion of the Union lineup, but with added members (where was Moraz back then, anyway?)

They're probably my least favorite of the original Prog heavyweights but you certainly can't deny Yes (with Jon) produced some genre defining moments in their output during the early 70's. Thereafter alas, the name Yes has become but a franchise sticker over which many tiresome ageing hippys wage media wars for their pension rights. It's irrelevant who the singer is when the band are tantamount to a karaoke machine (though I thought Fly From Here represented something of a return to form)

Olias is a journey into a fantastical place, an amazingly ambitious conceptual work conceived and performed by one man - not bad at all for a lead vocalist..................... Olias of Sunhillow is in my opinion his best, and certainly his most progressive [but not similar to Yes works at all  ]l .if you are in the right mood this is going to blow you away .
