White, Anderson, Squire, Howe and Wakeman

Bruford is an excellent drummer, but he can be too out there sometimes, White provides solid backing for the others while they're doing their own thing.

Sorry!
I made mistake in my previous post - Moraz played on Relayer, not Wakeman!
So my Favourite line up is: Anderson, Squire, Howe, White and Moraz.

Same for me. Bruford can be amazing sometimes but White is ALWAYS a powerful and effective drummer.

Although I voted for the Bruford-and-Wakeman-and-others line up, I agree on that White is the perfect companion for Squire's bass playing in an affirmative band as Yes. Bruford is the best of the two as an individual drummer, and he's very solid, but you can tell that he feels better in his solo jazz-oriented albums and in KC. White is the easy-going spirited drummer who could provide energy, precision and no drama to the overall sound of Yes.

Having said that, Bruford's inputs for 'Perpetual Change', 'Roundabout', 'South Side of the Sky', 'Heart of the Sunrise' and the opening section of 'Close to the Edge' provide the best drumming ever in Yes' history.

   Regards.

The Fragile and CTTE lineup, of course - though I also like what they did with Alan White.

Hard to choose.

I decide now for the Wakeman and White line up.Technically speaking Alan is not as brilliant as Bill( he isgreat enough though) but he fits Yes better.

Wakeman/Bruford and Moraz/White wonderful, too.

I went for Bruford, Anderson, Squire, Howe and Wakeman, even though my favourite album is the Yes Album, which was Wakeman-less. However, Close to the Edge almost surpasses it, so it'll do. I had to include Bruford in there just because he's more talented than White in my opinion.

White, Anderson, Squire, Howe and Wakeman.

Bruford is overrated.

The classic line up is the best (Bruford -Anderson - Squire - Howe - Wakeman).Clap

But I really like Trevor Rabin's work. He's great. He revived the band, like it or not. Great guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, songwriter, sound engineer, etc etc!... Wink 

Big smileAnd all of them are really good: White, Moraz, Kaye, Koroshev, Sherwood, Levin, Horn, Downes and...Peter Banks! (Where is he?...Confused)

My vote goes to the 'Relayer' line-up not only because this is my favorite YES album. The real motive is the great chemistry between Moraz - Howe. In the 'classic' line-up albuns Wakeman comes over Howe's guitar, letting few spaces for him shows his great talent... But in the 'Relayer' album Patrick Moraz gave the necessary scope to Steve plays his spetacular guitars... and I loved it !!!

I think the best is their lineup called "classic" so: Bruford, Anderson, Squire, Howe and Wakeman, but their first lineup is only a little behind this ( Tony Kaye is a really good keyboardist !).
