83 of you voted in the latest year poll, for the best Yes-related release of 1989. (Of course, ABWH came out that year, but I just count that as Yes! So it wasn't in the poll.) That leaves:
1. Trevor Rabin: Can't Look Away (w/ White): 35 votes, 42%
2. World Trade: World Trade (w/ Sherwood, Squire): 16 votes, 19%
3. Bill Bruford's Earthworks: Dig?: 11 votes, 13%
4. Paul McCartney: Flowers in the Dirt (w/ Horn): 8 votes, 10%
5. Jonathan Elias: Requiem for the Americas—Songs from the Lost World (w/ Anderson): 6 votes, 7%
6= Bonham: The Disregard of Timekeeping (w/ Rabin): 2 votes, 2%
6= Rick Wakeman: Sea Airs: 2 votes, 2%
8. Steve Howe: Guitar Player: 1 vote, 1%
There were 2 'other' votes for ABWH, and no votes for Simple Minds' Street Fighting Years (w/ Horn),
The Moody Blues' Greatest Hits (which included new material w/ Moraz),
Bunny Brunel's Momentum (w/ Moraz),
Kazumi Watanabe's Kilowatt (w/ Moraz) or Rick Wakeman's Zodiaque.
A good result for Trevor Rabin, taking a clear first, plus sixth equal. A bad result for Patrick Moraz, on three albums this year, but none received any votes. I'm surprised World Trade didn't win: I thought it was a fan favourite.

Poll: What was the best Yes-related project of the first half of 2017?
I asked you what the best Yes-related album of the first half of the year was, and you answered. Well, 45 of you did. Not the highest response to a poll, but then not that many releases covered either. Here are the results:
1. Asia: Symfonia - Live in Bulgaria 2013 (w/ Downes): 16 votes (36%)
2= Rick Wakeman: Piano Portraits: 12 votes (27%)
2= World Trade: Unify (w/ Sherwood): 12 votes (27%)
4= Rick Wakeman: Phantom of the Opera: 1 vote (2%)
4= Mogador: Chaptersend (w/ Davison): 1 vote (2%)
4= Light Freedom Revival: Eterniverse Deja Vu (w/ Sherwood, O Wakeman): 1 vote (2%)
4= Chrysta Bell: We Dissolve (w/ Downes): 1 vote (2%)
There was one other voter, who put "None of it very good."
In all, a very split vote. The top three albums were neck and neck for much of the poll period. Piano Portraits was by far the biggest seller, so it's interesting that Asia pipped it to the post in the end. I'm the one vote for Chaptersend: a nice album, I thought, although Davison's involvement is minimal.
