I am very curious to your opinion which new band member had the biggest impact/influence on the music after his entry.

Personally I tend to choose for #1 Rick Wakeman: his incredible musical knowledge, his virtuosic skills, his wide range of keyboards and last but not least his creative and adventurous mind. But another #1 choice could be David Gilmour because of his wonderful flowing guitarsound, his distinctive voice and his compositional skills.

So what's your choice? By the way, I have not mentioned all bands in which the new band members have played, it's subjective and everybody is invited to name more!

Rick Wakeman -- He introduced a higher knowledge of classical music, as well as the new technology of mellotrons and moogs to Yes' music.

Steve Hogarth. Marillion became a completely different band when he joined them.

Howe right away (The Yes Album is pretty much a showcase for him), Collins over time (yes, I know it was a group effort)

Incredible, in one of my recent previous threads ('great guitar players that you have seen live') I forget to mention Alex Lifeson and now Neil Peart ..Disapprove .. Anyway, now I think about him he was a major boost to the sound of Rush, close to the level of Rick Wakeman and David Gilmour in terms of musical impact Clap !

Adrian Belew. KC became a different beast, IMO, not better nor worse, different.
And of course the infamous Mr. Rabin... you said "influential", regardless whether for better or worse.Big smile

Oh jeez, I forgot about Rabin and Peart. I guess they should be on the short list too.

Taking into consideration the fact that after Steve Hogarth joined in, Marillion moved out of prog, I would say Hogarth is most influential one. My vote goes for him.
 
Thinking about it, this could be the only poll where I would vote Hogarth.

I think Gilmour.
I like the Barrett era, but without Dave the band had no chance to be what they are.
Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour)

It seems to become a battle between Wakeman and Gilmour but Hogarth does well too, to my surprise. But on the other hand, he does not well for me because I left Marillion when he joined my favorite neo-progrock band Dead ..!
