Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

This week Mark and I consider the conflicting aspects of Rick Wakeman’s musical character. We have both chosen one piece of sublime and one piece of ridiculous Wakeman playing on a Yes record or on a live recording. What will we choose? Listen on to find out and then supply your own examples via the comments below.

What were Rick Wakeman's best contributions to Yes?

What did he do that was more 'questionable'?

How should he be rated?

Let us know if you agree with us!
