Yes yes! 
Since I'm a big fan of Going For The One and Keys to Ascension 1.
I also like the Fragile / Close To The Edge - band which I like almost as much as the Going For The One formation.

Relayer is my favourite album of Yes, so I chose the third option: White, Anderson, Squire, Howe and Wakeman.

I chose "White, Anderson, Squire, Howe and Wakeman" seeing as Tales is one of my favorite albums of all time. I also think that White is a little more solid than Bruford.

Dream Team - Bruford, Anderson, Squire, Howe and Wakeman - maybe the best line-up in music history?

HI, DANBO, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA.
What I was saying was, despite the fact that the 71-72 line-up played in muy fav YES albums, I think that White's punchier drumming style fit better in the optimistic nature of YES's music. I never think of Bruford as the former Yes's drummer. I think of him as an avant-garde rock/jazz/prog drummer whose best prog days were spent in KC, and happened to make his prog debut not in KC but in YES. I'm convinced that he couldn't have displayed that fiery touch shown in SaBB and Red had he stayed in YES playing the Tales and Relayer stuff. In my opinion, history proved that.
Regards.

Despite the fact that the classic yes line-up is with Alan White, the "core" line-up is with Bruford, and considering the most influential records of YES are with ABWHS, i go with that line-up.
peace

Analog Kid,
You're right. I'm on crack! I forgot that they went back to that
lineup. I'm a fan neither of 'Going for the One' nor of 'Tormato,'
though I think most would agree that 'Awaken' is a brilliant track.
Still, I prefer White's drumming style with Yes. Somehow I don't think
his replacement of Bruford was the greatest influence on the
compositional change of direction after 'Relayer'. The ABWH album is
proof enough of that (not a bad album, but certainly not classic Yes).
Bruford's work with King Crimson is much more to my liking. Anybody
listen to Bruford's Earthworks? I recently came across my old
Earthworks' CDs during a move. Hadn't listened to those for a loooooong
time.
Wayman.

So, Cesar,
What are you saying?

Yes produced their best recorded work during the
Bruford/Wakeman period ('Fragile' and 'Close to the
Edge'), so that's where I'd have to place my vote.
However, I prefer Bruford with KC and I think Yes is
better suited to White's style of drumming. It would
have been interesting to hear what the White/
Wakeman lineup would have produced had it lasted
beyond Tales. In any case, ABWSH gets my vote.

I wouldn't prefer White over Bruford any day - Bruford had an innovative, playful and exciting playing style, while White more like just did his job. Relayer would've been my favourite Yes album if Bruford had been there (and if Howe had played his difficult passages without any flaw - actually, I do believe that he wasn't really able to play some of the fast riffs on the album, he sounds a bit untight with the rest of the band...thank heavens Squire was there and could save Howe's honour!

Well, Relayer is my favourite yes album, so my favourite line up is: Anderson, Squire, Moraz, White & Howe.
Moraz gives this album something Wakeman never could have given it. And Howe... AMAZING, especially the solo on Sound Chaser.

Bruford played on many of my favourite tracks, but I feel White was the better drummer for Yes. White provides a much tighter basis for the band, Bruford's obvious jazz influences didn't really suit their chosen direction.
Aside from his playing, White has provide a stability within the band since he joined, another reason to recognise his rightful place in the "definitive" line up. If it wasn't for White, we would probably not still be able to enjoy the privilege of seeing the band perform the classics live to this day.
