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

I only wish the band could form with the line-up used for Roundabout on the Hall of Fame thing (including Geddy Lee), that one would be the best way for them to go on.

I understand the point of view of some which think "Without Squire there is no Yes" and ( in part ) I agree. However, how said Forum Senior Member twosteves "Rabin is no Howe and never will be" ... Rabin is a great musician , but as Squire was, Howe besides be one of best prog rock guitar players, splits with Wakeman ( one of best... if not the best) keyboard palyers of prog rock, the most fantastic moments of Yes music and in so many times "steals" the scenery,! Rabin never can make this ! To me Billy Sherwood fits in Yes better than Rabin ! On the other hand, Downes ( although is a good musician ) is very far from Wakeman, Moraz and even Khoroshev But, if I select one bass player for Squire's place my choice was Flash's bass player Ray Bennett ! Due so much contradiction, I can't choose one option !

I Picked the ARW version but I have seen two versions of Yes without Squire ( ABWH & Steve Howe's Yes a few years ago) It's really not the same with out Chris. His presents was like no others.

I havenīt got any problems to listen Topographic Drama. To me Yes can go on forever, just because Wakeman has a son who can play like him, I believe others have too.

^ I wish Oliver had stayed in the band. I think he was a better fit than Downes. Also, I don't buy the no Squire no Yes thing... for me Anderson is just as important, if not more so, to the sound of Yes than Squire. Ideally, they should be together in the band, but if there's no Squire, then Anderson will do just as well. Now, Yes without either Squire or Anderson is even more difficult to accept.

^You canīt notice from the playing in the Topographic live that Squire isnīt there playing. Also Jon Davison as vocals is no problem to me. But of course it would be great, if for example Anderson and some of the Wakemanīs will come back to Yes someday.
Also, one think what every Yes-fan should think, Chris wanted them to continue.

Personally, I think Steve Howe is just as important as Anderson and Squire as far as classic Yes goes. He may not have been an original member, but he made significant contributions to their best albums.

I was just a moment before reading from the wikipedia about those two Yes and Yes, itīs really funny continuation to their funny story. Anyway I have never seen any kind of Yes, so really would like to see some of them or even both! And even Wakeman says "100% certainty of no reunions" I am not sure about that...

Id like to see a new studio album from the current Yes with Sherwood. I have no problems with Billy, so it could be interesting. And I honestly liked Heaven And Earth quite a lot, not as droll as many say.

Yes without Squire will never be the same. However, it will not stop me seeing both in concert in Gateshead/Newcastle in the next few months. However, they will have a 'tribute band' feel about them, sadly.
Anderson, Howe, Wakeman, White and Sherwood (I suppose) would do it for me (no disrespect to the others in the line ups, who are great musicians) - but the reunion isn't going to happen by all accounts.
Thought the Topographic Drama live release was reasonably good, though - with just a couple of tracks lacked a bit of bite. In hindsight Horn and Downes did a good effort on Drama.
