Two albums from 1975. Both are often considered to be arguably the best solo albums by these musicians. THe interesting thing is they both played together later on but I didn't include Squackett here. Would that really have gotten any votes anyway? Lol.

I vote for Fish, as I prefer Squire's vocals. Both are amazing albums.

Chris and the Fish. Best solo effort of the Yes bunch IMHO.

Yeah, that's a really good one. I like the first three RW albums a lot. My favorite of his would be King Arthur though. My favorite Yes solo is probably Olias however although FooW is indeed very good.

Really tough choice, but I have to go with VOTA as one of the greatest albums ever.
And yes (no pun intended), Squackett was disappointing. |

I've only heard Acolyte which is an absolute classic , well up there with even the best Genesis albums imo. If Fish Out Of Water is beating it then I need to check that out!

Both are great, but Fish takes the bait.

the "both " option makes things easy. I like them both so just the two of them (in the poll) would have been a tough choice poll.

Unlike those who create other polls on here I don't believe in backing people into a corner and forcing them to vote for something that is against what their gut tells them. Sometimes we can't chose one over the other and there should almost always be an option for that.

This was the first time I realized that Chris could actually sing lead. I voted for Fish over Acolyte, even though Hackett's debut is a very strong piece. I still listen to both quite often.

Nonsense! Nobody is forced to vote anyway; if you can't decide and there is no "both" option then just don't vote! (Obviously do your polls however you want, but the real polling fun is not in sitting on the fence! ) PS: I voted Hackett, although there's a good handful of his albums that I like more than Acolyte. As much as I love Squire as bassist, I couldn't get into the Fish.

Both albums are essential. Both albums should be in everyone's collection, even if you're not a Yes or Genesis fan. They're two of the best prog rock albums ever recorded. I should vote "equally" but I am going to throw a vote to FOoW to honor Chris and because it does resonate with me on a slighter greater level. It deserves the highest rating possible. Voyage is tremendous. I honestly like it more than nearly everything Genesis recorded as a band (sorry). The opener "Ace of Wands" still blows me away. |

Maybe not forced(in the strictest sense) but the fact is they are prevented from voting if there is no both option.
