It isn't like either really...more like Bruford. A sort of jazzy fusion for the most part.

Six Wives is just a plain masterpiece, not easily topped. Squire's Fish Out of Water is also an excellent album too but Six Wives just takes the cake.

In a sea of Six Fish Wives Out Of Sunhillow posts that will indubitably dominate this thread I like to make a lone cry for Alan White - Ramshackled. An odd and quite bewildering solo album that's not all bad, or at least not quite as bad as it is made out to be, produced by a band member who really didn't want to make a solo album at that time in his career, who was still trying to fit into Brufford's shoes when this plan for all band members to record a solo album was concocted in 1975... White was a sessions musician, not a band leader, he was developing his writing skills in Yes on TFTO and Relayer, but they weren't ready for solo fight - talk about a fish out of water - here he is trying to fly - so he did what he knew best - got his session musician mates to help out and produced a jazzy soul funk rock lounge lizard album - not a stunningly good one, but an honest one and one I've enjoyed listening to from time to time over the past 33 years or so. It's the only Yes solo album to bear the Yes logo as far as I'm aware.
What?

For me it's a toss up, but split between Fish Out Of Water and Olias for the 1975 releases.  However, add into that Wakeman Six Wives through No Earthly Connection and I'm set (except must have Refugee as well...)

For Bruford, I think of that as a King Crimson solo project...

I love Six Wives, King Arthur, Out There, Journey, Fish out of Water, but my favourite is Anderson's Toltec, the solo album that has given me most pleasure over the years.

I tend to be torn between Olias of Sunhillow and Fish Out of Water.
