Genesis/Yes comparison

I was going to give a well detailed, Thought out response, When I noticed, This thread is stupid! I've been reading down through so many ridiculous, unnecessary comparisons!

Both bands are fantastic and have made music that very few can equal! never mind better! If you have any respect for either bands music, You'll stop treating their work like two dogs chasing a bunny. It's getting very stupid.

Right! Let's put you all right on this Banks v Wakeman nonsense.....

Composition skills:

Banks >> Wakeman

Keyboard skills:

Wakeman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>> Banks

OK?
