This leads me to the topic at hand...Who are your most and least favorite members of this legendary prog consortium? Only criteria: the member has had to have been a full fledged member of the band. For example, no side guys ie. Tony Levin or Julian Colbeck...

And why are these guys faves or least liked?

I'll start...

Most Fave: Chris Squire (signature sound, great harmonies, the anchor)
Least: Steve Howe (refuses to shake hands with people)
Steve Howe was extremely friendly when M and I spoke with him backstage at one of the 35th gigs. We were forewarned, however, that he is very conscious of his hands and fears them being injured if he shakes hands with the public.

It's hard to pick my fave but my least fave is Trevor Horn. Anderson's voice is YES and Horn just didn't cut it for me.
