Great Idea, Utah_guy, I'd like to see all posts connected so you can get a general idea about where people come from (musicaly that is). unfortunatly this forum doesn't allow a more elaborate enquiry-format. It would be great to make one though.
Anywhoa, I voted for Yes. because
Guitar 1. Steve Howe (progguitarist that is, Jimmy Page remains my Favourite, and allan holdsworth I now too little of)
Drums 2. Bill Bruford (1 would be Neil Peart in my list)
Keyboards 1. Rick Wakeman
Bass. 1. Chriss Squire (together with Geddy Lee)
Vocals 3. jon Anderson (1 is Fish, 2 is Peter Gabriel)
I do''t know Saga PFM and UK good enough to consider them.

Nah,no one is better than The Caped Maestro.
However, in true 3F8T's fashion, I ask again,name these artists who are better than Messrs Lee, Lifeson & Peart collectively or individually?

rush is my favorite band. Geddy is unreal bassist, neil in an unreal drummer, and alex is...ok guitarist. Alex is, in my opinion, along for the ride.

first, i must say that my vote is for RUSH
as
to your comment on Lifeson, I don't think its that he's along for the
ride so much in terms of riding on the skill of Lee and Peart, Lifeson
is an outstanding guitarist in his own right and the band definitely
wouldn't be the band it was/is without him... despite that, I do agree
with you in the sense that he doesn't contribute to the band creatively
speaking. I think he's just one of those guys who wants to bust out a
mad solo... whether he had been playing in Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, or
Rush... I mean, he stands out among his band members. While his band
members write and read deep philosophy, peart in particular, he's
getting arrested for assaulting a cop in florida while drunk.
btw, i got geddy lee's solo album in the mail finally today... i'll make a post in the CD section later once i get through it.

i am surprised dream theater arent on there. They are one of the best musically abled bands out there. Didn't they all go to a special musician college for years? Their music is so technical and advanced, the band can make dreamlike shredding solos, keyboard works, drum beats, 6 string bass lines and immense vocals look so easy, yet they are very complicated and difficult to play, making people drool at the sight of their godly talents.
They can even keep it up for live sets that are around 3 hours long and all of their incredible studio albums, never running out of brilliant ideas, experimental work, concepts and best of all, a huge range of the most incredible, original and challenging musician work ever!

Reed, I like Rush but nobody individually better? Collectively as band they are one of the tightest I have seen but individually I have seen many guitarists, Bassists, Vocalists and drummers/ percussionists I thought were a whole lot better Here is a listing:
Guitar: Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John McLaughin, Al Dimeloa, Alan Holdsworth
Bass: Jaco Pastorious, Stanley Clarke, Tony Levin
Vocals: Steve Walsh, Steve Perry, Greg Lake, Peter Gabriel
Drums: Buddy Rich, Louie Belson, Michael Walden, Billy Cobham
Just to name a few.

Do you like Return to Forever? I think that RTF is one of the most
underappreciated bands EVER. They're amazing! I just think that a lot
of the labeling keyed them off as the Chick Corea backup band and
turned them off to a lot of people.

Many?????????????????????
Vocals, obviously accept!
Drums:Name Prog rock drummers betterr than Peart?
If he had played for a more trendy band they would say he was the best rock drummer ever.
You Garion, my son, are obviously taken of the fever,and you'd better lie down! Obviously got over-excited with that orange bowl thingy!
Blah, blah, blah, blah...............
Notice you had to mention the kansas dude!
You sad man!

I know ain't I pathetic? 
Steve Walsh is a great singer period. Not just for Kansas. If he could write better songs he would have made it on his own.
You didn't say prog drummers as comparison you just said individualy better. As for trendy I know a lot of people who think Pert is the s*** of s*** who never heard of Carl Palmer or Bill Bruford etc. They only listen to rock/metal. He has way more fans than CP would lets say. I have seen both and I am impressed with CP in that he plays different styles of music. I know within Rush Pert does that too but not to the degree CP does. They are both great but after seeing Louie Belson and Billy Cobham at a drum clinic I was just devistated. Now maybe if I saw Pert in that forum I might feel the same way.

Well I know they write the music together, I was just under the
impression from what I've read in the past that Lee wrote most of the
music as opposed to Lifeson...
I first discovered the band this summer. Now I own Fly By Night,
Caress, 2112, Farewell, Hemispheres, Waves, Pictures, Signals, GUP,
Hold Your Fire, and Counterparts

Reed lover you are as unbelievably silly as Three fates and as blind to your faves but comparing any of these to the best musicians in the business namely the Yes boys is carrying your personal loves into the realms of fantasy.  I'm sure if Clowny was around he'd agree with me
