Hey, I just realized....where's Peter Banks in this list?  

His Flash LPs were excellent, and post-Flash solo CDs like "Self Contained" showed some real evolution as a guitarist.  He channels Steve Vai on that last one!  

Banks' last recorded tracks were on "In Extremis" by Days Between Stations, and this is an excellent collaboration that also included contributions by Rick Wakeman and Billy Sherwood.


p.s. I also did not vote for GTR!!

I admit that GTR have been one of the biggest disappointments of thr 80s for me, despite of the two Steves. I was use to male a copy on tape of tge albums I purchased and this went on the back side of The Final Cut. Liking it is possible, I only find strange that it can be preferred to many of the listed albums

Fish Out of Water. Didn't that slew of "Yes related" albums come out in '75, and 'Water led the pack. Olias of Sunhillow seems to get the most mention out of all of them, but I can't seem to get into it. With Squire's offering, there was no doubt, for me, that it was an unmitigated masterpiece.

Where's Tony Kaye (Badger, Detective, Badfinger); Billy Sherwood (World Trade, Conspiracy); Trevor Horn (Buggles); Jon Davison (Glass Hammer)? Don't know if Benoit David has anything other than his tribute band work recorded . . .
 
At least every member should be on the list in some form (e.g., White's on several). Tough to pick!

i LIKE the Steve Howe Album, but not enough to use my only vote on it.  (Not that this poll is allowing me to vote, but never mind the details.)  If i were permitted to vote, i would go for ABWH, but only because "Brother of Mine" has been stuck in my head for the past week.  Not sure that makes it the best Yes related album.

Squackett (Squire/Hackett collaboration) should be mentioned, it was ok, better than the last 2 albums of Yes.

Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, & Howe was generally weak. I store it apart from the rest of my collection because of the smell. The supporting concert was great though with Mr. Jeff Berlin on bass. If only I could have caught the rest of Bill Bruford's act.

i agree ABWH had issues, but i enjoy it nevertheless.  in the words of Elizabeth Bennett, "Now despise me if you dare."

Not a great album, maybe, but how many albums better than that have been released in the same year? It was one of the best.

Rick Wakeman, The Six Wives of Henry VIII.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Yeah, but Banks was a founding member.  I think he deserves special consideration over Sherwood etc.  Good call on Kaye's material, his work on Circa is excellent!
