I like this, but would have gone with Amy Winehouse on vocals, dropped Nancy Wilson, and added Lady Gaga.
Dolores O'Riorden would be another good choice for vocals. Or Lauren Hill for a very different flavour.

This makes me feel like I'm a contestant on a show judged by Simon CowellI like this, but would have gone with Amy Winehouse on vocals, dropped Nancy Wilson, and added Lady Gaga.
I like the way you think! But White over Bruford, huh? HmmmDetermining the greatest 5 member superband would be as difficult as determining the greatest color ... however, if asked to disclose my favorite 5 member superband, I’d definitely go with YES’, Steve Howe, Alan White, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman ... and that favorite color, well that would be emerald green.
Oh no, I don't see what you did there. I'm ruining your joke and might have to turn in my prog card, but can you explain?@tankerjohn
Yessir, I have this thing for factory OEM components ... but that's not to say that Bruford was in any way, a lesser to White.
No sacrilege necessary. A fine album! Its my favorite Yes album...with Alan White drumming. (though not my favorite album cover) You are correct about the lineup as Wakeman came back for that album between King Arthur ice-skating shows or whatever the heck else he was doing. The 70's were weird...but in a good way.@tankerjohn ... Oops! Upon further review I am the one who has buggered things up ... if I am not mistaken (yet again!) the mid/late-‘70s YES lineup listed above coincided with my favorite YES album, Going For The One (as sacreligious as that may be).
I just saw a recent(?) Yes concert on AXS TV. Wakeman was wearing a purple cope embroidered with golden thread. It looked like the Archbishop of Canterbury was on keyboards.No sacrilege necessary.

It is a good record. Guessing it took some work to get the vocals down.Re: Robertson and letting him sing. One of my favorite albums of all time is Robbie’s solo albums ‘Storyville.’
Inspired choices! Tom Petty on bass? Did he play bass on any of his albums? I don't recall. I do like it when guitarists play bass; they bring a different sensibility that usually sounds pretty good.My personal picks for a band to play the day before my funeral:
Drums: Charlie Watts
Bass: don't really care, as I played drums in the style of Keith Moon, and he played to Roger's vocals....
Guitar: Mark Knopfler
Keyboards: Steve Winwood
Lead Vocalist/Frontman: Bono
Yes, I cheated. I have three more than competent lead singers.
I just realized I DO CARE for a Bass Player, and that man for the job is Tom Petty.
And Tom makes four vocalists!
Now I want to add another few, since the next day is my funeral, dang it all!
