I think it's one thing to generate material for a project, get all the "right" retro sounds and do your best 70s pastiche and another thing to write a song with some heart, soul, heft and substance to it that you want to play over and over again. People talk about Jon Davison like he's some gifted young whiz kid when he's actually fairly close to the same age that Jon Anderson was when he was doing ABWH with the entire current Yes' setlist over a decade in the rear view mirror. I can't say I've heard anything of Davison that makes me excited about the prospect of him co-writing a Yes record.
