Its clear that if we compare the two best songs: Heart of the sunrise with Changes , the winner is...

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Oh yes! For me both. Fragile has got more quality standard: It's proggy. 90125 is a perfect crossover prog album (perhaps prog-related). It flies lower but with high class.

Just gave 90125 it's second vote as it's the album that originally got me into Yes. It, the self-titled (shapes) Genesis album, and the first Asia album will always have a very special place in my heart.

Fragile by miles, but I also love 90125. Incomparable for me.

Fragile for sure, great album. 90215 was but a decent Prog-Pop album which I don’t have much time for these days.

most ridiculous poll ever--lol
Fragile is a landmark prog album where 5 of the best are showing off their prowess before their masterpiece comes out---original and amazing album still sounds fresh. 90125--a 80's album with mixed results---lots of cheesy guitar sounds and sounds real dated---but I liked it at the time somewhat .

Fragile 100%
Fragile is one of the classic Yes albums, along with CTTE, Relayer, and The Yes Album. 90125 is a good album, but from a different era and doesn't sit in the same league as the 70's classics |

Fragile is one of the truly "foundational" LP's of all time. 90125 was merely great.

There is no contest... I like Fragile nearly as much as Close to the Edge, so it gets my vote. I do like 90125, but it just can't compare with Fragile, and it doesn't have a South Side of the Sky.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

90125 was a massive album when I was a teenager and commanded my stereo for years. Changes is an amazing song, as are so many others on this album.

Fragile, and 90125 should get its head handed to it in this poll.

Both albums seem to have their detractors. Nonetheless according to the RIAA they are the Yes albums that have sold the most copies so I thought I would put them up against each other. Which one do you prefer?
