^^ I doubt if there are many prog fans who've heard ALL of Rick Wakeman's fifty plus albums, but my own personal favourite is The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I have five of Rick's albums in total:- The Six Wives of Henry VIII; Myths and Legends; Journey to the Centre of the Earth; No Earthly Connection; and White Rock, all on a 5-CD box set.

the common theme seems to be that Wakeman only made one great album (Six Wives) although I reckon that Criminal Record and King Arthur are almost as good and White Rock was also a very solid album. He did churn out a lot of stuff after the seventies and made some truly sh*tty albums it has to be said!

I didn't expect Alan White, Geoff Downes or Trevor Rabin to gain any votes in this poll, but I included them anyway for the sake of completion.

Rick Wakeman eventually went on to win my recent Favourite YES Solo Artist poll, so he's doing okay.

6 Wives easily for me. I'm glad Wakeman has been doing well in these last polls, I felt he had been receiving very little apreciation lately.

It's looking like this poll is going to be a very close-run thing.

Feels Good To Me feels like a very good choice to me indeed, although The Six Wives is a worthy contender.

I second that. Olias is one of my all time favorite albums. Top 3.

Toss up between Anderson and Squire for me, with Olias just edging it.

Olias. The only debut Yes solo album that, for me, conjured a similar sense of wonder to classic period Yes.

Wakeman for sure. He stole ELP's thunder which was very annoying for this ELP fan!

Aye, I voted for "Wives" but not without thinking about it first! "Fish" and "Olias" are nearly as good! *sigh* last of a dying breed, I fear....
