Too true! Pete Pardo's passion for prog and his knowledgeability on the subject really shines through, and although we nearly always disagree on our album rankings (apart from the Moody Blues), that makes him all the more likeable in my opinion, just like another person here I could mention. Wink

Hey, that could be anyone! Wink
Yes it could, but I think you know who I'm hinting it. Wink

No, I actually don't believe it or not. LOL

No, I enjoy Big Generator, always did. 
I enjoy a few songs on both Union and The Ladder. 
Well, maybe we can just agree on Open Your Eyes being our least favourite Yes album then, or maybe not. Smile

yes, and add the last two Yes albums to that. LOL

As to Pete Pardo's rankings, they've become very predictable now, as I've noticed he *ALWAYS* rates the classic albums higher than the more recent releases, unlike my rankings, where The Prodigal Stranger is one of my favourite Procol Harum albums although, as Pete Pardo mentions in the video, they've never made a bad album. At least Pete Pardo & I agreed on the album rankings for Novum & The Well's on Fire. Smile

Not predictable, but obvious. For any band the classic work will be ahead of later days. I can't think of a single band that did something later in their career that tops their classic works. 
I know you'll disagree, and that's fine, but Yes produced some of their best albums in their later years, including Talk (1994), The Ladder (1999), Magnification (2001), Fly from Here (2011), and dare I mention it again, Heaven & Earth (2014). Smile

For me, The Ladder is on the same level as Union, both uneven, some good songs and some filler. 
Talk is good but does not come close to the two 80s albums with Rabin.
Magnification is good, but far from classic Yes (1969-1977)

The rest of them you mention are unlistenable (to me).

I'm planning a Top 7 albums poll for Procol Harum sometime soon, although I have a feeling The Prodigal Stranger isn't going to Shine on too Brightly in the poll. Smile
