Re: Benoit out, Jon Davison IN...!!

Yeah, but ultimately, I'm just prefer a band get the best vocalist for the job. If that's Jon Davison, so be it, but I don't like the "Let's get someone that sounds like X" thing. Journey definitely has struggled with that lately.

Ronnie James Dio didn't sound like Ozzy.
Sammy Hagar didn't sound like David Lee Roth.
Steve Perry didn't sound like Gregg Rolie.
Heck, Trevor Horn didn't sound like Jon Anderson.

More important than a vocalist is a creative person. Journey's last two albums with Arnel Pinela, who sounds ridiculously like Steve Perry, SUCKED LIKE A HOOVER because there's no creative juice flowing. Not saying that'll be Yes's problem, but creativity is more important than vocal similarity.
