   Maybe I'm doing really recognisbile and worthless apreciation threads, cause everyone knows the bands that I'm doing, but I'm just so bored and the forum lately is quite inactive, so I'll do this for fun but seriously,  cause like I really can never show my knowledge to anyone except for my brother, father, mother and one friend, I want to spread it here even though everyone knows this by hard I suppose.

A masterful symphonic band?...Yes!

Guide:

Their masterpieces/groundbreaking albums:The Yes Album(a very accesible album, with classics from Yes), Fragile(another accesible album with other very well-known songs), Close to the Edge (magnum opus, a more difficult in some way to get in, with 3 classics and a masterpiece of total prog), Tales from Topographic Oceans(a controversial album? Okay, but still is awsome, as hard as CTTE to get in), Relayer(the last of the trilogy of monster epics, IMO  there most difficult album to get into, a real adventure)

To start with:The Yes Album or Fragile. If you are used to long epics you may start with Close to the Edge directly.

You liked Close to the Edge follow the trilogy with: Tales from Topographic Oceans and Relayer.

Bored (in some way), want more:Going for the One (for some great others not so, but still really worth) Drama (still an album that I don't enjoy, but for plenty of fans it's a great album, with Steve's voice) Yes (their debut, completly different to their symphonic prog sound, but still really good and you can know how it all began), Time and a Word (don't really like it, but if you liked their debut this can be apreciated) 

For fun?: 90125(very accesible album of pop tunes, with a special touch from Yes, a loved one from many Yes fans), Big Generator (from the same vein as their previous but weaker), Talk (modern and heavier guitar, from the same vein as it's predessors but heavier).

Want something from now but progy:The Ladder (a mix of pop/alt/ and great prog songs), Keystudio (a really great come back, with giant epics), Magnification (my fave from the new ones, with slightly pop and alt sound and full of new prog with a magnificent orchestra)

Avoid!:Union, Open your Eyes, Tormato(??)
