Seriously, though, it has to be Alan White (with the wonderful suggestion of Roger Dean entertained). White was given the nod shortly after Bruford left (right?) and was charged with learning the group's catalog in a brief amount of time before a pending tour, to various degrees of criticism. Has been a stalwart member of the band ever since with some very technical demonstrations of prowess along the way (his drumming on Yesshows' The Gates of Delirium is simply awesome). All the while being a perfect gentleman. He can't be overlooked in this thread.

Some stoned guy from the Rolling Stones was the official sixth member of Yes, followed by Neil and Bob with Dick.

I suppose Billy Sherwood is literally the sixth member of Yes, as Squire has not technically left.
 
There are instances where Yes has had seven and eight members.

"is" being the operative word, means we can choose anyone absent from the current lineup.

Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman - anyone care to leave out two of those guys?
 
(or, for those who disagree with that, how about Alan White as the sixth?)

Heh!!  That's Steve Howe's signature above the name "Manson" on my tee-shirt!  Hugh Manson is Steve's luthier and guitar tech, and he got me backstage at the 35th Yes Anniversary show in Chicago in 2004.  Life-changing for sure!!  

Nah, I couldn't carry Squire's cape!!  I play much of his stuff, but he's the Master.  We wish him well.

Who is the sixth member of Yes?  It is not widely known, but I am. 

All of those thundering bass lines?  Not Squire, but me, all along.  Fooled you!!  LOL

Roger Dean with his brother Martyn getting some credit as well.  The Yes artwork and the stage designs it inspired from '73 to '76 were the pinnacle of what made prog so special.

I saw a couple of those stage sets back in the seventies.
There really was no other concert setting like them.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

^I'm quite sure that this bloke had a sweater, not a jacket. I would have emphasized the distinction had I known that you also had similar attire that made little sense. My apologies.

Now, that doesn't make much sense either, does it?

Interesting, I have a knitted jacket in the same design, if I ever wore sweaters and knew someone who could embroider then I'd consider emulating the sorry chap you speak of but since I don't on either count I'll have to make do with the obligatory t-shirt. Album artwork has always been popular for just this evening I saw a t-shirt for sale in ASDA (UK branch of Walmart) with the Sgt Pepper cover printed all over it. Now few people, if any, would ever consider George Hardie to be the 6th Floyd or Peter Blake the 106th Beatle, so poke fun at me all you like it still won't make any sense.
What?

Sounds good to me...
 
even on the Hipgnosis sleeves (Tormato and GFTO), Dean was there via the logo...
 
Offord could be the 7th Yes...

According to this http:////progarchy.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/prog-mag-yes-poster-at-9401.jpg the sixth member of Yes was Dave Potts (no, me neither) as the first five were Banks, Squire, Anderson, Bruford and Kaye. He appears to have been in the band for 5 days in place of Bruford.

This appears to be the chap in question - http://www.praying-mantis.com/mantis/davepotts.shtml

" I was actually with Yes for about a week. What it was, was they were looking for a drummer and I lived with Jon Anderson. I rehearsed with them for about a week. At the end of the week they had to make a decision about which drummer they kept and Jack Barry tells me that he suggested they keep this drummer called Tony Kelly that used to be with the Koobas."

So Dave Potts is the Pete Best of Yes!
