What pair of albums do you consider to be the best output by Bill Bruford? The two from Yes or the two from King Crimson? You decide. |

Has to be Crimson, I think Bruford comes into his own on these as well as develops his style more completely. I also think Bruford found Crimson to be more of a 'challenge' at the time, although he probably has a different viewpoint now - but I stand to be corrected.

Deffinitely the Crimson stuff, as good as his work with Yes was.

The Yes stuff was good, but Bill really seemed to find his element with KC.

Bruford served his apprenticeship with Yes. He was born to play with Crimson, and Red is his most incredible career performance.

This is hard. But I first got to know and love BB because of the things he did on those two Yes albums, so I decided to vote for them. His drumming on "South Side of the Sky", "Heart of the Sunrise" (especially during Chris's fat, slow and repetitive bass riff) and "Close to the Edge" (especially during the finale) is still unmatched, in my view.

Even though Yes is my favorite band, I choose KC, because I think that at KC Bruford had more room to develop himself.

Although I prefer Yes, I have to say that Bill really blossomed with KC

I understand the question to be which pair of albums Bill appears on is your favorite, rather than in which pair of albums do you think Bill played better... so my answer has to be the Yes pair, by far I prefer thos two albums... the only Crimson album I can match to those two is the debut.

I had to go with his Yes stuff, but this was a really tough poll. Props... |

Easy choice. Crimsonian Bill´s drumming is concededly more technical, colourful and imaginative than his Yesian drumming.

Red is one my favourite albums from a drumming perspective. Love the earthy feel. Fragile and Close To The Edge are brilliant ensemble albums that Bill is a big part of.
(voted Red)

I dislike his drumming in both bands. Never understood why his clumsy sound is so attractive for many people.

I love Bill Brufords drumming, no matter in which band he plays.
