    Buddy, that thread title can have multiple meanings.😊

    The two most rank Yes vocalists (in my book) are Steve Howe and Jon Davison.

    The one’s I really like are Jon and Chris.

      You always get me a good chuckle Jay... Too funny

      Yes Jon and Chris do make the ONE Yes voice. Watching live YouTube lately displaying that magic unique chemistry that seemed effortless... Add Rabin and Billy in there on the Talk Tour, and it's even thicker with the 4 of them. so many unique flavors of Yes. And yes, some rank. lol....

        Most to do vocalist would be Geoff Downes on occasion. Two keyboards with arms outstretched, bass pedals with one foot, and doing background vocals at the same time gives him bonus points.

        Obviously that sweet- voiced Anderson that didn’t change his name gets my vote. Mr. Circus of Heaven himself, Damion Anderson for the win.

            I had to add Horn to Squire and Anderson.

            I’d’ve included Banks on the poll but wouldn’t’ve selected him.

              I think Banks was a competent singer with Yes. Not worse that his successor for sure.

                Jon Anderson, Chris Squire and Trevor Rabin. Especially those three combined where the pinnacle of Yes vocals, such a powerful and bright combination.

                    the two Jons for lead and then Chris as the ultimate harmony singer for the group.

                      Yes… listen to Drama or Fish out of Water and you can see how essential he was to the Yes vocal sound.

                        Totally agree. Might have been the best vocal combination. Though, Squire was able to sound great with any of the guys listed and help them all sound better!

                          Anderson and Rabin. Anyone who doesn't vote for Anderson isn't a Yes fan!

                            Well I voted for Jon, but your well out of order with that sort of gatekeeping.

                            Jon A, Chris and Benoit in that order for me. The first two are pretty obvious, but Benoit at his best gave us some great shows and, in my opinion, the best album without JA (yes, I think it shades Drama slightly).
