drama
I remember hearing Chris Squire speak in an interview when Drama came out. With all due respect to Jon Anderson and his voice/vision, Squire seemed to think (at the time) that the direction of Yes was heading away from the virtues of Steve Howe's abilities as "one of the best guitarists in the world".
I really enjoyed Drama at the time, and still count it as a favorite, including the live show, mainly because of the focus on the playing.
But Anderson/Squire vocals remain, for me, the most distinctive ingredient of Yes, and I tend to view Drama as the best of the Squire/Howe 'side projects'. (No offense, Asia fans.)
