White and Moraz additions on Fragile Rick---and Steve on TYA showed the evolution of the band. Years later they would let mediocre guys in the band and the sound went way down. Voted first option.

Neither Alan White nor Moraz were on Fragile though. Alan came aboard for TFTO and Patrick for relayer. Only Steve on TYA not Rick. Or maybe you just worded things funny here and you know all that. Wink 

Possible mediocre Yes members:

Geoff Downes
Trevor Horne
Benoit David


Not mediocre imo:

Trevor Rabin (definitely not mediocre by any stretch of the imagination but just not what some were expecting for Yes)
Billy Sherwood
Igor Khoroshev (even though he was apparently an asshat)

No, I find Fragile a bit inconsistent. I love the Yes album and CTTE is of course a classic but Fragile was never a favourite.

I was just thinking about how some people don't like Fragile because of the solo pieces but was wondering what the over all opinion on this is.
