@pajamasflannel: What are you fucking saying?! Are you serious? He is a Genius, he was the first to use the electric bass as a melodicinstrument, he invented the contrapuntal way of playing the bass, in the 60's/70's. You should thank him, otherwise you'd still be playing a single note on the bass.
Some comments below suggest Chris wasn't a highly skilled technical player, I think that's selling him a little short. No, he was wasn't a flashy player in the form of a Jaco (the all time greatest player IMO), but his ability to contribute and come up with phrasing and lines for songs with this complexity was beyond reproach. His bass lines defined Yes's sound, and that alone puts Squire ahead of 99.9% of other players out there. His playing ability allowed the band to be able to explore the kind of music they did, without Squire what would Yes have been?
Chris Squire was one of my favorite bassists. He was the anchor of the band and, in my opinion, irreplaceable. R.I.P. Chris.
ありがとうクリス。
最高のベーシスト。
