I am always surprised that people vote against CTTE, especially in the early rounds....
Why? Because so many do love it so much that they feel the need to knock it down a peg?

Yes, I must admit that in my voting I forgot to realize that 2112 is pure, raw, progressive rock at its finest, and I just had my fingers crossed when I said that because it is very overrated.

Keys To Ascension simply isn't very good, I agree. Only one song has endured- 'Mind Drive'- in my opinion. The rest of it is very, very average.
But '90125' I always enjoy more than I think I will, whenever I play it. I think that would survive for me a lot longer than some of the albums that follow it in this poll.

Not everyone, I didn't know what to expect. Maybe thats why I like it? I don't know.

Tales, but only because I only own The Yes Album, Fragile, CTTE, Tales, Relayer, and Going For the One...
I'm sure they've done worse.

My initial vote is for Union...some good stuff there, but way too uneven and too many studio musicians.....

OK...Time for a new tournament!
"Inpraiseoffolly" started one similar to this right after I started the now completed Rush one, but was unable to finish it. I PM'd him and he is fine with me starting over.
A few notes about the Tournament:
I include ABWH as a Yes album. Although it officially is NOT a Yes album, with the events that followed it-- Union album & tour-- it certainly seems to play an important role in the history of Yes.
I substitute Keystudio to represent the studio material from the 2 Keys to Ascention albums.
Remember, the idea is to vote for the one you like LEAST in each round. It does not mean that you dislike an album, just like it less than the others remaining, until we get down to the last album standing....
Each round will be open for aproximately 3 days. If two or more titles are tied after that time, a one day run-off will be posted to determine which one is eliminated.
