I'm a big fan of Bill Bruford, who was the original drummer of Yes, left to join King Crimson, toured with Genesis after Phil Collins took over the vocal slot from Peter Gabriel, and is now a solo artist. He's also got a tremendously dry wit to him, unique in its Britishness.
Bruford on why he left Yes just when they were breaking big:
"I left for the money. I was in danger of making too much of it."
Bruford on why he always seems to find himself involved in various reformed incarnations of King Crimson:
"Because it's the only gig where you can play in 13/8 time and still get a decent hotel room afterwards."
