And I saw KC a couple years ago, and there were three drummers and one bassist. And Mr.Levin I believe is one of a few bassist that can hold that position. He wasn't what I'd call "all over the place".
What? Tony has proven he can pretty much play with anyone. What would you consider his "fame" to be? To me his "fame" is being a premier session bassist, so whats on the outside of that exactly? I love both these guys but for me Levin takes this poll. Squires got chops for sure, but I'd still put him behind Levin,The Ox, and Wetton. Well maybe tied with Wetton, maybe...

As Tom said above...both excellent players.....I prefer the classic Yes albums Squire was on over the KC period when Levin played ( I preferred the Wetton bass playing era)......but that's about musical direction and not bass playing.

Chris by a tad and I admit a big part of that is because I have always been a big Yes fan.

I like both, but it's hard to overlook the diversity of playing styles Tony can do. So, Tony gets my vote. I couldn't see Chris performing half the stuff Tony does.

Levin is a better player technically, but not as good of a singer and songwriter as Squire. After all, it's Chris Squire who created Fish out of Water (one of my favorite albums of all time), not Tony Levin.

Apples and Oranges. Chris Squire taste wise but I've seen Levin play live with Crimson and PG and he was great and I also love the Liquid Tension Experiment albums.
