What about Vangelis on keyboards? It could nearly happened once...
The rest of line-up would be:
vocals: Jon Anderson
guitar: Steve Howe
bass: Chris Squire
drums: Alan White

Yeah. I remember that. I would've welcomed it. I have a love (Close To The Edge) / hate (Turn Of The Century/Wondrous Stories) relationship with Wakeman.

...put together a fictive YES line up with whatever musician of choice.
the only parameters: stay with the tested five-instruments personnel and your version
of YES must include two members that have previously been in the band... |
1970's | Met At English Boarding School Lineup
Tony Kaye - keys
Jimmy Page - guitars
Phil Collins - drums
Chris Squire - bass
Fish - vox
Good lord, this would've been colossal. Bluesy and brutal with occasional lighter 12 string / Hammond touches - great harmonies (something Marillion could've used). Favorite track imagined - Perpetual Change
1980's | Jazz Fusion Lineup
Trevor Horn - vox
Bill Bruford - drums
Vangelis - keys
Kazumi Watanabe - guitars
Tony Levin - bass / stick
Think about it. Drama-esque soundtrack jazz, with jaw-dropping bottom end. Favorite track imagined - Awaken
1990's | Let's Make Every Album One 60 Minute Ambient Song Lineup
David Sylvian - vox
Andy Summers - guitars
Stewart Copeland - drums
Geoff Downes - keys
Trevor Horn - bass
Right. Drama-esque ambient drum-n-bass, echoplex and guitar synthesizer, David's baritone croon. Favorite track imagined - Run Through The Light...really really s-l-o-w

Jon had spelled out the idea to Steve. He liked it, and the two of them at once began holding sessions by candlelight in their hotel rooms. By the time they reached Savannah, Georgia, things had come together very clearly. There, during one six hour session, which carried on until 7AM...
and so on.

That may be the best fan fiction I've ever read.

For me Anderson, Howe, Squire and White have been more or less the heart of the band and the sum of the parts is less than the whole.

If you are going to rip the heart out of Yes by taking out Jon Anderson - why not go all the way. Vocals - Rolf Harris Bass - the guy from the Bay City Rollers Drums - The woman from the White Stripes Keyboards - Liberace Banjo - Floyd Jones jnr.

Ok, here's MY line-up!!!! I call them the Y-Men!!!
Chris Squire --- CODENAME: THE FISH
Leader of the Y-Men
Superpowers -- Well, he was bitten by a radioactive minnow when he was little and he has the proportionate strength and agility of a rainbow trout. Um yeah, that's it. Oh, and he can drink like a fish too.
Jon Anderson -- CODENAME: WHITE BUFFALO
Superpowers -- He's like some kind of North American/Hawaiian mystical shaman, and he can summon powerful animals out of the spirit world to help the Y-Men.
Steve Howe -- CODENAME: LASERFINGERS
Superpowers -- That's right, he shoots multicolored lasers out of his fingers. You got a problem with that?
Alan White -- CODENAME: THE REPLACEMENT
Superpowers -- He can mimic the superpowers of any other being after he has been exposed to them. That's how he came up with In The Presence Of, btw.
Rick Wakeman -- CODENAME: THE CAPED CRUSADER
Superpowers -- He doesn't have any superpowers, but the WakeCave is stocked with all kinds of neat crimefighting equipment, including WakeCopters, WakeBoats, WakeMobiles, and a couple of broken birotrons.
