Even if I hadn't seen what others had written I would have picked Moraz as a distant second to Wakeman. I'd rate "Relayer" as the best post-Wakeman album by Yes. I did read Keith Emerson's autobiography and he had few kind words for Patrick Moraz. They seemed more critical of his attitude than his talent.
Me, I just listen to the music and I though Relayer kicked ass!

Of these included, Tony Kaye, hardly the most talented individual, but a better fit. Only Wakeman brought another dimension.

Tony Kaye. I solely bass my
opinion on the choice of his instruments. The Hammond
organ(Lm-300, Lm100, b3) for me, is the best choice for Yes. I thoroughly
enjoyed the Yes album in particular because of Bruford's drumming position and
tools that Kaye used. In my opinion, Yes was at its tonal peek during that period. Even though introduction of Rick Wakeman exploded Yes into new boundaries and levels of measured success, his choice in the Moog and other, more "synthetic" sounding instruments was difficult for me to love. If Rick Wakeman continued to stay with the Hammond, his tone would be more towards my liking. Much later however with the introduction with Patrick Moraz, yes veered ever so slightly into a different direction. The jazz and concerto influences on to Yes changed them minorly. Yes is a changing craft and tends to recycle themselves to stay alive. It seems that Kaye was playing the right instruments at the right time.
Long Live Yes

I've seen all in concert with Yes. Moraz by far was the best.
Then:
Khoroshev
Downes
Kaye
None were bad.

I vote for Mr. Downes. I wasn't alive when Yes released Drama, but have heard songs from the Drama tour on YouTube. Geoff kills on the Yes classics then and now(despite what someone else said).

Moraz. Relayer is amazing. I love Drama, but Fly From Here wasn't too hot in my book.

Moraz was outstanding - pity he only stuck around for a short time........

Why is Rick not included? Is it because he would easily win? :D

I was going to vote for Patrick Moraz but the only reason I didn't is because Tony was with them longer and Patrick was only one one album. Geoff Downes was never on a YES album.

Kaye. Some splendid work before Fragile. Patty made such a mess on Relayer with the other Yes boys.

^ I usually don't. And I don't need to elaborate. I really don't feel like giving a whole lecture on a listener's perception. I'm not a neurologist.
