[edit] NPOV

From the article: Peter Banks may be an obscure artist but is one of the few who have a real "cult" following around. His guitar talent is distinctive and some consider him the finest string-man Yes has ever had (with due respect to Mr. Steve Howe). He's also a fine singer and producer and a fair keyboardist. And overall, he's a remarkable and inspired jazz, rock and experimental musician, not as "classy" as some more famous guitarmen, but certainly a bolder one.

This text seems more fit for an essay than an encyclopedia article, so I'm moving it here for now. Wmahan. 20:30, 2004 May 1 (UTC)

I agree, I liked yes's early work, but I can't just push Steve Howe aside!

[edit] Career with Yes

Wow, was this section written by Banks' publicist (or maybe his daughter)? He comes off as this noble character among the "mean" creatures making up the rest of the band. What's wrong with just saying "he left over artistic difference?"

Hey, I love Peter Banks, I've owned all his solo albums (not many folks can say that, I'm sure), but let's dispense with the dramatics. This is an encyclopedia entry, not an affadavit prior to a lawsuit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpolhemus (talk • contribs) 15:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
