Trevor Rabin had a much better voice than Steve Howe. When I
saw the Anderson/Rabin/Wakeman version of Yes about 4 or 5 years ago, it occurred
to me that the old songs’ harmonies sounded sweeter, a little less strident,
with Rabin participating. |

| One's a bass player, one's a guitarist. Sherwood is a good bass player but Yes music with Rabin is better than the recent stuff with Sherwood so I'll go Rabin. |

Trevor Rabin, pretty much inline with the comments already posted. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

And by a spooky coincidence, they both had debut albums with the same title.  Anyway, it's an easy win for Trevor Rabin in this Face to Face poll.

| Poor Billy is getting clobbered. Too bad too since he seems to be a pretty nice guy based on the one time I met him. Anyway, I'll probably vote for Trevor regardless. |

I guess Rabin. They told me to peel the apples, but instead I messed with the parental controls on the toilet. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

I'm a bit split between voting Rabin or Neither. I do like the Talk album but could easily live without anything Yes involving Rabin. Looking at Sherwood's wiki page he has a ton of credits. The only one that sticks out as memorable is the album he did with William Shatner. That sums it up maybe (?).

| Trevor Rabin. Billy Sherwood is good, but not excellent. Trevor Rabin is great, and made a mark on Yes music, whereas Sherwood only tries to fill up for Chris Squire, and impossible task for him. |

Rabin, no contest. Billy can play guitar, but Rabin's an excellent guitarist, composer, arranger, and vocalist. ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

Steve Howe's debut album was called Beginnings and Trevor Rabin's was self titled. Am I missing something here?

Time and time again, I am disappointed by things Billy Sherwood touches (produces) or plays on in any way. I think he's a prog rock curse. ------------- listen to streaming stuff! no commercials! http://wmom.servemp3.com:8000/listen.pls |

| ^ Last night I was watching one of those numerous Sea Of Tranquillty y/t videos that rank prog albums (this one was 'worst' or most hated) and he was getting some real stick on that. 'Box ticker' seemed to be the consensus. |

Trevor Rabin. He seems to me to be more technically complete and has a musical personality that conveys what he wants to say more emphatically. ------------- Héctor Enrique |
