Well, I easily prefer composition over improvisation.

He certainly benefited immensely from the move.  I wonder if we would have ever seen or even known of such a fantastic improvisational side to him had he carried on in Yes.  He was brilliant with Yes already but Red album has some of the most expressive drumming of that era.

Here's an amusing little quote I found in the King Crimson article on TV Tropes:

In a thread titled

40th Anniversary of Bill Bruford leaving Yes

Epignosis wrote: 2007 my first child was born. More important to me.

Yes. This is completely relevant.

Trololol. Go spend time with your child(ranz) instead of posting on the internet

About Schizoid Man I absolutley agree, but with Exiles and Starless he might actually have sounded better. But for me, that's not particularly difficult, I really love those two songs, but Wetton's vocals rather put me a bit off... I guess the perfect choice, for me, for singing those two songs would have been Lake (weirdly enough, I like the way Wetton sings Schizoid Man better than the original version with Lake). However, back with Schizoid Man, I do feel Jon Anderson wouldn't have been very good singing that song, but he did sing on South Side of the Sky... so perhaps, just perhaps, he might have pulled out Schizoid Man nicely.

Slart and I agree. 

Check the temperature in hell!  Which I don't believe exists!

Not better for me You're right. Songs like Starless, Frakture, and Red are not well composed pieces of music.
