I got to meet Alan White on a Yes Cruise to the Caribbean. I actually hung out with him for a few days, late nights in a bar. I didn't think he was the greatest drummer of all time, but I thought he was darn good. More than his drumming, he was a nice guy. He told great stories and was generous with his time. In fact, out of everyone in Yes, he and Jon Davison were the two nicest of them all. Chris Squire was nice, too, but he didn't open up to some nobody like me (until we reached Grand Cayman and sat together in a bar for an hour or so). Anyway, there are so many albums and songs that Alan White played on that are my favorites. I did not pick them all, but I tried to spread it out, so you could get a sampling of how versatile he was. I hope you enjoy it, BTW, one of my very favorite albums he's on is not represented here (Sometime In New York), but that's the way it goes. May he Rest In Peace.
