Keyboard legend Geoff Downes is one of the busiest keyboard players on the entire planet, aside from Rick Wakeman, obviously. In fact, the number of bands and album projects Geoff Downes has been involved with over the years just Buggles the mind. When he's not touring Asia with YES, he's touring Europe with ASIA, and as if that's not enough to keep any musician fully occupied, he's also one half of the Wetton-Downes partnership as well as being one half of the Downes Braide Association, on top of which Geoff Downes has made numerous guest appearances on other albums too. All in all then, his professional life has been filled with mostly Ups and hardly any Downes. Regarding his personal life, Geoff Downes is a supporter of Cardiff City, but you can't have everything in life.   1987: Geoff Downes & New Dance Orchestra - The Light Program - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEapk1L5x6Xvsc0u4w1rIcMr" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdktF-lL0yEapk1L5x6Xvsc0u4w1rIcMr  1982: Asia - Asia - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ljvv0bOTxgh77Aa8LR7r5Ki8QRrnxO1UU" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ljvv0bOTxgh77Aa8LR7r5Ki8QRrnxO1UU 1980: The Buggles - The Age of Plastic - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kDa9MV3a5Uqdp-YrjcdaiizTW3JVaUaxk" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kDa9MV3a5Uqdp-YrjcdaiizTW3JVaUaxk  2012: Downes-Braide Association - Pictures of You - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lDuJPaAeh6WbiU7fmWBc6PknzpReh46OA" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lDuJPaAeh6WbiU7fmWBc6PknzpReh46OA 1998: Glenn Hughes & Geoff Downes - The Work Tapes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0dTQa8UK5I" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0dTQa8UK5I 2015: Greg Lake & Geoff Downes - Ride the Tiger - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL88IcgHVjkeJDc33BMEbe5bF6Kinx0hm9" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL88IcgHVjkeJDc33BMEbe5bF6Kinx0hm9 1998: Trapeze - Welcome to the Real World (Live) 2002: Wetton Downes - Wetton Downes - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTCHZJbJm7G3xFddzGY9hmpaX_RB49j3d" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTCHZJbJm7G3xFddzGY9hmpaX_RB49j3d 2006: White (Alan White & Geoff Downes) - White - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFJsMXAm8pA" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFJsMXAm8pA 1980: YES - Drama - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kLIq1y7oaYVFV1zUMSR0I9nFFa7vOAyPw" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kLIq1y7oaYVFV1zUMSR0I9nFFa7vOAyPw |

Kind of hard to top Drama. The Buggles a distant second. The one thing I've always wanted to do with Geoff Downes is walk in circles making choo choo train sounds, and maybe a few beep beeps too. ------------- ---------- 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 |

The choice was obvious for me in this poll, so I only needed one vote.

The Age of Plastic all the way! can never get enough of "Astroboy (Watching the Proles on Parade)" and "I Love You Miss Robot"! Plus, How would we have ever gotten Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots without this album?! ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Asia and Buggles just mainstream and pop mixed impression of Drama since its release unfamiliar with the rest |

An overwhelming victory for YES in this poll, although I have a feeling they may not fare so well with their Heaven & Earth album in the third Ups & Downes poll.
