Howe or Hackett?

Overall I'd take Howe; his playing from The Yes Album on is elven. But solowise, Hackett smokes him. No Howe album can compare with Voyage of the Acolyte. Tough call.

I'm not sure. Was it Howe? He was in Asia, then GTR? Shit, who knows.

Shit, who knows

that reminds me of the famous review:

GTR - SHT

Chris Squire and Mike Rutherford should have formed a supergroup and called it BS

They were both in GTR. GTR were awful, sadly.

Howe, I think, anyway. Hackett is a great lkead player, probably better than Howe, but Howe's rhythm parts were just unbelievably awesome. I keep listening to "South Side of the Sky", and every time I hear it, I'm thinking just what the fuck is he playing there? how did he think of that? Why does it work? etc.

I go with Howe, though Hackett's great.

Are you kidding? Gordie Howe was a much better player than Jeff Hackett.

Howe = "Sketches in the Sun".
