Rudess taking over was really smooth. I didn't even know the other guy was replaced until a while after I listened to DT. I guess I wasn't as big a fan as I thought when I was a fan of them.

Gabriel>>>>>Collins in Genesis..
The transition was very smooth and positive. Genesis were still improving as a band, they didn't need to recruit someone new to replace Pete. Phil often sounded a little like PG anyway, and the spirit of the band was retained in much of their music. Their musicanship improved, they worked with a better producer, and were still on an ascent up until 1978.
IMHO

 this is true.. but the question is smoothest transition, not preferred

I was going to vote Rudess, but though Sherinian has gone on to do some great things his time in DT wasn't their best so I don't think his was a touch act to follow up on. I think Phil taking over Genesis went very well (for about 2 albums anyways) - almost seamless (although Genesis fans will kill me for that statement  )

Rudess is the best keyboardist that Dream Theater have had.

Yorkie posts his angst then runs fast trying to dodge rotten tomatoes that will surely come his way.

I don´t know about the smoothest, but the most succesful was definitly Gabriel to Collins

Since the songs were already written for Season's End and Fish's drinking was having effects on the band, I'll go with Fish to Hogarth. None of the other's were smooth to me.

This is a very interesting poll, Yorkie. Nice idea  .
I'm a bit surprised by the response on Gabriel/Collins. Perhaps more people than we thought like the 80's stuff. Either that, or Trick and Wuthering are everybody's faves.
My vote goes to DT. Prefer Rudess anyway, so that's easy for me.

Or Moraz replacing Emerson in Refugee

For God's sake, Patrick replaced three monsters, did it at least as well as them and still is always forgotten....What a shame.

 Me too. Actually, Phil Collins even beats DT for most bashing here in PA... this is new......
Now my opinion: I think actually the smoothest change was.... Collins after Gabriel  Yes, really. After THE LAMB, I think Genesis was in a point were Gabriel was starting to need a solo career too-much, he needed the chance to express himself freely. With prog, he did as much as he could with THE LAMB, with its obsucre and intricate concept and the long story. It's HIS album more than nobody else's in my view. So, a change could've been welcomed. And Collins' arrival at the microphone and Gabriel's departure brought back a "less obscure" or "more accessible" version of Genesis with A TRICK and then with WIND.... And as I actually love AND THEN..., I never thought Collins as singer was a negative for Genesis. (Actually, I think that in regards to liking ALL the band's albums, I'm really a bigger Genesis fanboy than illustrious members with loger Genesis-loving careers... )
Second, of course, Rudess. I loved Sherinian in FALLING INTO I. and in the sublime A CHANGE OF SEASONS, but Rudess just.. can't be touched for progressive metal keyboardism.
