Howe (as long as he doesn't sing) just ahead of Squire and Anderson.

It's quite hard actually. I guess depending of the mood I'm in, I could choose Anderson, Wakeman, Howe, Squire, etc. Most of it is very good music, and with a large variety of styles, moods, etc.

Wakeman wins on sheer volume alone.

A huge oversight not to included Bruford in this list. Makes me think you're not a true Yes aficionado!

Hmm, tough choice between Anderson Squire and Bruford (if he was listed). I think I'll pick Jon not just for Olias, but his contributions to King Crimson's Lizard, too.

I'm pleasantly surprised Wakeman is winning this. Usually he doesn't get so much apreciation from the people who actually post (as is the case with this thread itself), but at least the votes show that he is still loved.

I haven't listened much of solo works from Yes members.
Jon Anderson solo got boring for me.
I have listened to Squire's Fish Out of Water and his project with Hackett - Squakett, both very good, especially FOOW which is better than some Yes albums I dare say.
I've listened to a couple of Bruford albums and a couple of Wakeman albums.
As for Howe, I listened to something that really put me off so I gave up on him.
Trevor Rabin - some of his solo stuff is quite good, some is nothing special.
Peter Banks - I've only listened to Flash.

As for Downes, I like a few Asia albums, I've never understood the reunion in 2008, Geoff got rid of Payne without any remorse after a long collaboration (14 years or so); most of the stuff after 2008 is terribly weak.

I'll probably vote for Squire, for Fish out the Water alone.  Big smile
