Howe/Downes vs. Anderson/Rabin

So amidst all the debate about which touring Yes is the best, I thought I'd make this poll to see where your loyalties really lie. Maybe it's a bit skewed since I haven't included any Wakeman, but he hasn't been on a Yes album without Howe so that doesn't really work. I also totally forgot about Heaven & Earth; can't add it now, but if you're the one fan of that album just make a comment!

Anyways, pick your favorite album of the bunch - let's keep this based off of the studio albums, and not whether Billy Sherwood or Lee Pomeroy do a better job of emulating Chris Squire. And don't forget, this is all for fun, not for proving a point or trying to harass a bunch of old guys who just want to go on stage and play some music.

But they were (in my opinion and that of many others present) completely blown offstage by the support band (Gryphon).

I really started to lose interest in them after Going for the One: though they produced some great stuff on some albums, they were patchy. I lost interest in them completely after 90125. 

So it has to be Drama.

think Anderson f**ked around with Howe one too many times---remember he broke up ABWH because a record deal offering money wanted Rabin not Howe---(even though Howe made millions with Asia) ---the other BIG problem was Howe wanted to jam in person when making an album like the good old days when they made good music and Anderson thought it wasn't necessary could do it by internet---say what you will about Genesis those guys got together to compose music in the same room---thats how you come up with the good stuff. Anderson seemed to want things his way---Howe likes to work and have a schedule--Jon is more whatever about things. Whatever happened Squire could have helped solve it when he was alive but he seemed to think it was impossible too.
