I was wondering what if we had to substitute every member of Yes (I mean, Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Squire and Bruford) Who could be their substitutes? What I´d like is to have a list of musicians that could be like the originals, top talented and similar styles (considering that every talented musician is unique).
My list is:
Carl Palmer for Bruford
Keith Emerson for Wakeman
Steve Morse for Howe
Tony Levin for Squire
A substitute for Jon Anderson is very difficult for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
P.S. Long live Prog Rock

Personally, I'd make the following substitutions: Phil Collins for Bruford Tony Banks for Wakeman Steve Hackett for Howe (can you see where this is going) Mike Rutherford for Squire . . . It had to be done ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

Benoit David for Jon Anderson
Oliver Wakeman for Rick Wakeman
Trevor Rabin for Steve Howe
Alan White for Bill Bruford
and Chris Squire is just irreplaceable. -------------

| I guess Annie Haslam would be a good substitute for Anderson. |

I'd have put Khoroshev in there instead of Oliver Wakeman, though. -------------

| I'd keep the lineup the same, in complete honesty. Every single member brings something insanely unique to the mix and keeps it fresh and original, and you'd be foolish to change something so brilliant and perfect. |

| Levin is good. He just doesn't belong in a Yes project, there is no comparison. He certainly didn't hurt the ABWH project, but the lack of Squire on that album and tour was glaringly obvious and disappointing. |

if it was the case: 'Dane' (Druid) instead Anderson.
Greg Lake instead Squire.
Terry Bozzio instead of Brufford.
The guy who play keyboards in Badger instead Wakeman
Julian Bream instead of Howe

Not using any members of Yes, here is an all-star tribute band: Vocals- Steve Hogarth Guitar- Steve Morse Bass- Geddy Lee Drums- Phil Collins Keyboards- Derek Sherinian Not a carbon copy but they should be able to pull it off.  |

| Really, it would be hardly possible to make a better line-up for any band as the one from Close to the Edge. As I once read, it was a whole line-up of top musicians, the best of the best in each instrument. None of them was particularly superior or inferior than any other. |
