For me the biggest boost were:
Howe for Banks
Wakeman for Kaye
Peart for Rutsey.
 
From  the list I consider the Rush line up change the most  important.

I was thinking on similar lines - but I also believe Peter Banks set out to demonstrate with Flash he was as good as Howe. Whether he did or didn't.... maybe is reflected in how long Flash lasted. However, Banks certainly demonstrated an impressive bag of licks both on albums (including the early Yes) and also in live performance with Flash. I wonder how much Banks was checking out Howe in Bodast before the change?

It is a pity this poll doesn't  have the choice  running from 0 ('I completely agree') to 9 ('I totally disagree'), since one or two of those changes I think were retrograde steps and others I'm less sure about.

Well Dick, no problem if you create an own poll as a successor to this one, perhaps with the new title "the best replacement in a progrock band" Wink !

Oh I don't know, Relayer is generally recognised as being one of their best. However, I have read that much of the music was written before Moraz came on board.
 
And can I just mention Pete Best?

only if I can mention Stuart Sutcliffe. Wink
 
(I also read that about Relayer - it's still my favorite Yes album though)
What?

Chopper, that's absolutely brilliant: Pete Best (although it's not prog and I don't like The Beatles) Clap

Darqdean and Chopper, about Relayer: my personal opinion, it is in my Yes All Time Albums Top 3 and I love that 1975 QPR stadium concert DVD Thumbs%20Up

Dick: let's hope M@X will read this poll, I agree with your idea about a more flexible polling system, that also would be (even) more inviting to post Approve .

Would Rush be what they are without Peart?

Hard to say, but I really doubt it. A lesser drummer would've made them sound like your basic power trio. Peart came in and instantly made Lifeson and Lee better musicians, in my opinion.

I think that was a rhetorical question about Rush by StyLaZen, E-Dub Wink .. and an understatement could be "Rush have not done badly after Neil Peart joined the band" LOL

No, because these line up is at the same level of the precedent. And, non only my opinion, Michele Bon is the new (but in truth it outclasses) Keith Emerson. Well... In " (brandeburger) Concerto N° 3" of Bach [The Nice recorded N° 6] Michele Bon is 1.000.000 times better!!!

Rutsey's departure from Rush is as important as Pete Best's departure from the Beatles.
