Checked all the Yes polls. Not one like this. Forgive me for my limited knowledge on all the background info and names of every single member. Especially the newer keyboardists.
Got a feeling it's going to be a duel between Bill and Rick. I go with Bill because I love jazz and he's the best jazzman to come out of that band. Probably the only one. I know Alan was with Oasis and John Lennon. But I'm talking post-Yes here. OOPS! Forgot Asia and GTR for Steve and Geoff. Damn it! |

Dude, Steve Howe by FARRRRR! But then Bruford and then Wakeman. Anderson had some pretty good stuff, but most of it is so-so.

Well....Yeah I can see your point. With Asia and GTR and the fact he's one of the most celebrated guitarist around. But I'm a drummer, so I'm going to pick Bill. SO THERE! 
BTW. We're proggers. We're not supposed to be calling each other "dude"! We're above that. Am I right, DUDES?!

Trevor Horn, by far. Probably the most important figure in British pop music in the 80s and possibly 90s. As far as prog, Jon Anderson gets my vote. Olias, Toletc, EarthMotherEarth, etc. all wonderful Howe, outside Yes, sucks excepts for acoustic stuff. Squire puts out a solo album every 30 years or so, so hard to judge. Wakeman puts out a solo album every 30 minutes or so, so I'm a little dubious of quality. You asked about Geoff Downes. His first solo album, The Light Program, was reasonably good instrumental prog, but reviews I've read have not inspired me to check out other stuff.

I'll say Bruford, since he is one of my top 2 drummers, and I love the Crimson I've heard with him (all of the 73/74 stuff and some 80's/90's).
I have a feeling Rick will get a lot of votes too, but I have yet to hear any of his solo stuff other than what he plays in Yes concerts. |
