Squire for me, though I would have mentioned Geddy too. Levin is also great, while Lake is better as an acoustic guitarist (non to mention vocalist).

I think if I was blindfolded and made to listen to each of the 3 bass
players play something not in their repertoire I would be able to pick
Chris Squire out easily. Of the 3 he has the most distinctive style and
sound.

Squire used to be my fav (well now he is number two, so it hasn´t change that much) but I noticed that Levin could do much more stuff in the bass due to the lack of a pick...and also I feld in love with the Stick, and Levin plays it...and his cotribution in Crimson are great...so...Lake!!!
hehehehe, naaaaaaaaaaaa Levin, Levin!!!

I love all three, so it's a hard choice. In terms of bass-playing it
definitely comes down to Squire and Levin for me, but I have to choose
Squire. Levin is waaay more technically advanced than Squire and
he does some really great stuff on the Chapman Stick, but I just prefer
Squire's playing style.

Exactly! I saw the ABW & H tour and Levin couldn't pull the Squire licks off! It ruined the concert for me. I admire Levin but he ain't no Chris Squire!

There's no doubt about it, TONY LEVIN is the man!!
Did you see that he is touring with his band? That should be special!

Of course Yes is great but Levin has played and toured with everyone!
He's one hardworking musician! He's been in King Crinson, Peter
Gabriel's band for years, he even stood in for Squire in Anderson, Bruford,
Wakeman and Howe! So you could say he played the part of Chris
Squire's for a while. I don't think Chris could play Tony's parts.
He's starting a live tour this week with his own band now! It's Tony, Larry
Fast and Jerry Marotta with Jesse Gress from Todd Rudgren's band on
guitar. They are spectacular!
They just released thier 4th CD last week. It's called "Resonator". You
should get it, I know you will love it!
Tour dates are on Tony's website at www.tonylevin.com

My personal favorite is Squire, but I think that Levin is the better player overall(more versatile).
Some cool bass-work by Mr.Lake: 21st Century Schizoid Man, Take A Pebble, Knife-Edge, Tank, Tarkus, Blues Variation, the Fugue in The Endless Enigma, Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression pt.1 & 2nd Impression, Fanfare For The Common Man

Squire - Levin may be more versatile but Squire's playing is so distinctive
