I'm going for the one,  and the only Steve Howe since out of the three, he wrote more of what I consider true Yes music.------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |

I vote for Chris Squire because he's the only member who appears in every album by Yes. Besides, his trademark backing vocals and his bass playing are unmistakable, and these features have been an important part of the sound of Yes in any era. |

"I vote for Chris Squire because he's the only member who appears in every album by Yes.

This is true except for ABWH which used Tony Leven. Aside from that though. The band really took off when Steve Howe joined the band for "The YES Album". This to me is the most important factor here. There is no question that Chris Squire's input into the band is invaluable. Steve's genius really benefited Jon. The two of them really worked well together. The period after Tormato really for all intent and purpose was a variation of different bands all flying the YES banner. A lot of this confusion could have been prevented with a name change which almost happened. They were going to go with the name "Cinema" but after Jon came back to the band they decided to stick with YES. Yes Chris is the backbone of this band, but Steve is the driving force. |

Chris Squire without any real question. They know it... and we know it.

I went for Steve Howe , his style of guitar work seems to be as important to me as the album covers Roger Dean created, they put me in the world of Yes land

Well, from a estrict point of view ABWH wasn't a Yes release. They were ABWH, not Yes (although I agree that the album got much of the spirit of Yes ). And I missed very much Chris on that one, specially his backing vocals, and his particular style on bass, despite the impeccable Levin's bass lines. If you ask me which is more-Yes Time and A Word (without Howe) or ABWH (without Squire) I would say Time And A Word.

good call and of course it was more more Yes. That Rickenbacker is as much Yes as Jon Anderson's falsetto, and that album was a Squire showcase album since Banks was tossed out of the mix hahahhaah. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Yes, I agree By the way... Jon Anderson's singing is not falsetto. If you hear him talking in any interview you'll realize that the high and "angelical" voice he uses to sing is really his true voice. Unless you think that he talks in falsetto too. |

Wakeman is a very important man in Yes`music, but he has been replaced by Moraz, Kaye etc... So my vote goes to Squire... he has always been in Yes ------------- Follow me on twitter @memowakeman |

Squire! Wakeman is definitely a no because of Moraz and Howe is definitely a no because of TAAW.

I'm surprised Squire is getting so many votes,  . I thought for sure I was right.  ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |

OK, I then think it's safe to say that Chris, Jon, and Steve along with Alan really define the "YES sound" throw in Wakeman for the bonus. It's incredible they are still together and it seems the cream has risen to the top for the stretch run. May they ascend to the pinnacle. Just hope Chris gives up on the tights |

I'll say Chris Squire, since he's been the one to keep with the band
from the very beginning. He has a unique style and tone, and
sticks out very well for a bassist.
