True, but Steve Howe is much better composer and his weak voice very fit to do backing vocals, and you can't have third good singer, when you have Jon and Chris in a band - it would be simply overloaded, even in Yes terms.

Steve Howe is after all a wonderful guitarrist. And much better - generally and for Yes - than Rabin. I think question of their vocals has no meaning.

Uuu though one...on one hand you got Rabin, who was in some of Yes poorest albums and certainly their least prog...he never did anything that impresses me... but on the other you got Howe, which for me was love at first sight (the guitar playing!!! the other kind of love at first dsight with Howe...must be difficult) he is one of my favorites in the axe, a great composer, has co writen with Anderson much of Yes best material and plays my favorite kind of guitars...
mmm...I will have to think about it a little more

Got to go with Howe here. True, his voice is chronic, but that shouldn't be the issue here. He is the definitive Yes guitarist. Rabin does nothing for me. Bland and poppy.
I am very surprised Howe is losing this one.  |

Steve Howe of course!
Suprisingly, Trevor got more votes, but his fans are not posting anything to defend him.

Trevor Rabin shouldn't be underestimated; he's a fine musician and a good composer. For the purposes of a progressive rock poll however, Howe is the man. And the reason that Rabin is winning in this poll is that it allows multiple votes.... so we have a rabid Rabin fan!

^ Same thing happened a few months ago with a VdGG poll. World Record had like 80% of the vote, but only cause some loser voted for it 70 times.
