anywho.. for this one... not the Bruford idolizer some are. I don't think Yes were THAT unhappy to see him go for his limitations as drummer which White was able to fill.

So a draw.. and no vote.

Banks the weak link? Definitely not---on the classic period--he is the heart of Genesis and Hackett the soul--or the other way around depending. And from all I read Yes were pretty upset over Bill leaving---but Alan did a great job on so many levels.

It's actually really close but c'mon. It's Bill Bruford.

I also think the poll creator does not know White played on more Yes albums than Bill. I may be wrong. :)
I believe you're wrong, since he's specifically talking about the classic era of Yes, which, anyway you look at it, includes very little of White's overall work with Yes.
It's on PA!

Correct, No Alan White.  But Chester Thompson (imo) is better than both Collins or Bruford.

Actually White played on more albums than Bill. 

Exactly, White played on more Yes albums than Bruford.
Well obviously, but I suppose the point was the classic era as defined by the topic's starter. White played on a ton of Yes albums, but Yes classics? 

I can stretch the classic Yes period going from The Yes Album to Going For The One, and that makes it 3-3, but maybe he values the first two albums more.

I consider the first 2 Yes albums Yes classics. That's just my take though LOL

Hard (for me) to concentrate more than 30 seconds on Bruford's playing.

Phil is just perfect for this retarded (me).
