Too bad we never had Bruford and Moraz together on a Yes album.

Too bad. Moraz was awesome on Relayer!

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!

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.

Hi, this is Cesar Inca.

I voted on the Fragaile/Close to the Edge line-up, since these are my fav Yes albums, and Bruford is one of my 3 fav drummers of all time. Yet, I must admit that White's individual style and ideology is more adequate and coherent in relation to the band's spirit.

So, Cesar,

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

YES

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.

Who does MattiR keep digging up year-old Yes polls?

Anyway, I'm going to go for the Relayer line up just to be different. Alan White deserves recognition for (a) joining Yes 3 days before a US tour and learning all the songs in time and (b) being in Yes ever since. Bruford is one of my favourite drummers so it's a hard choice but White is a better rock drummer. I also prefer the keyboard sounds of Moraz, especially that bendy synth sound.

Just that I prefer White as a drummer to Bruford.Gives it more 'welly'

 

Yeph!  I was thinking the same exactly.....
I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.
