I don't think that Annie Haslam's voice would be more fitting for Yes than Jon Anderson's. Neither would Jon Anderson's voice fit in better with the music of Renaissance.
Jim Morrison is a no-op for Symphonic Prog.
No vote.

I'm not a huge fan of Jon Anderson.
But Annie's voice is sublime.

Haslem, I could easily see her making her voice fit with all but a few bands from the classic era, whilst I;ve always felt Anderson was the one member of Yes that didn't have any talent.

I really can't choose. My two absolute favourite singers from the British 70's prog scene (well, Peter Hamill is very close too). By the way, if anyone can't imagine Annie singing Yes, I'm sure she would do just fine. Just look for her singing "Turn of the Century" with Steve Howe on Youtube, it's just beautiful (too bad the keyboards are rather weak on that version, though).

Jon Anderson any day of the week. Don't like Haslam or Morrison.

Annie every time. She has a richer voice. Jon's voice doesn't sound that rich to me. As for Jim, ... he sounds like a zombie. He would be more suitable for opera, not symph prog.

Annie's voice is probably better, but I prefer Jon. Her accent and some annoying quality to her voice puts me off too much. A trip to the fair, but nobody was thar.
