Another influential rocker bites the dust.
What an amazing bassist, songwriter and group leader this guy was.
Leukemia is nasty killer.

There might be a total of a dozen bass players who when I first heard them all I could say was "Holy Shit!". Chris was one of them.

Of all the members of Yes Chris Squire was the one Rock-N-Roller of the bunch.

True, the rest were really into fusion and what I call artsy-fartsy rock. Musically adept, but lacking of the balls that makes rock what it is. Without what Chris contributed I don't see them having reached anywhere near the level of success that they did.
I saw Jon Anderson doing his single act a few years ago, and all I could hear in my head was the missing bass lines. Interesting aside: With respect to the lyrics, Jon admitted that he really didn't know what the hell they meant, and he wrote them.
