He is. He should front a Yes tribute band

Their goal was to take this sound into a rock context - it is certainly worth giving the album a spin.

I can see what Yes were trying to do: push the boundaries, whilst paying homage to the greatest of all bands. But right from the start, it just sounds such a mess: forced and stilted. And unfortunately, try as hard as he might, the limitations of Peter Banks guitar playing are laid bare here. Jon Anderson's vocals are on the money, with some nice harmonies, but everything else is just rushed. In trying to be too clever, they lost the heart of the song And that's a real shame:

Sorry to disagree with you but I absolutely love their version of this song, and it is very probably my favourite on the entire album, even though it is a Beatles' cover and not a Yes original. There's nothing that can to be said that will make me change my mind, it's the song that made me want to buy the album in the first place and to keep on buying Yes albums, until I stopped.
