I sort of agree with this. Squire is a great backing singer, if not a lead singer and highly underrated. Naturally though, Anderson wins this poll (and any other poll for high octave range).

Hammill has a bigger range than Anderson. Anderson's skills are quite hyped up on this forum (or most prog forums for that matter).

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Obviously the main guy. But I did think Benoit David added a new dimension to Yes, sort of like Trevor Horn but a bit better. Trevor Rabin made a fine second vocalist due to his tendency to sing rather than bellow (JA's usual backing crew). But none of them would be cutting it as main vocalist without having a pedigree). None of them could really do justice as the original singer, if they were, on the classic era Yes albums. I wonder if they would have been had someone else warbled on them...
Jon Davison is a good cover singer but after the last studio album... I hope never again... Just be a good tribute band.
Is ARW a tribute band? Maybe that could be another thread...

I agree he is the most important singer but apparently not everyone sees it that way.

Those other lead vocalists have been ok, but itīs Anderson.
