My fave Yes albums:

1) Relayer
2) Close to the Edge
3) 90125

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.

^ Agreed. I like 90125, even "Owner of a Lonely Heart".
 
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.

That's not embarrassing at all. Close to the Edge isn't even close to being in my Top 3, and your Top 3  would only be embarrassing if it included Open Your Eyes. Smile

OK Gents, this is one I've missed.. Embarrassed

I haven't heard The Quest yet and haven't really garnered much of an appetite for exploration, but you've piqued my interest. I note that it's on the 13 minute long second disk, even though disk 1 is only 47 mins long? Confused  Is it so bad it's only on the Special Edn??

I wouldn't bother, just go listen to a Yes album you enjoy instead. Tongue

Very much a neo fan and early classic prog.
For me everything after Tales from Top Oceans, Red, Trilogy, and DSOTM is a wasteland until the first Twelfth Night, IQ, and Marilion albums.
The only exceptions are Genesis, as I only listen to the Collins albums, and Jethro Tull and Camel whose entire catalogues are great.

A"Big Generator" and "ABWH" are not my top three Yes albums.....But, they are top 10.  I adore Big Generator. Every song. Ear truffles.

I adore Yes "Oignon", Genesis "And then they were finished". Don't like some of the old King Crimson material, but have a blast with Thrak and Discipline. Can't get into Jethro Tull and Magma.. but for the rest I am on the "normal" side from the majority of the community.

If you say "Genesis "And then they were finished", I will only assume you have not listened to their work from Abacab to WCD which it's much worse IMO. 

Yes's Union is an uneven album, it's got a few good songs, but overall a bit of a chore to listen to.

oh, ok then.
I agree the long ones from WCD are really good. Pop era Genesis has a few good songs, but a few terrible songs on each album from Abacab to WCD make me use the skip button quite a bit these days.

I usually don't skip songs when I am listening in surround which make something bad a little better.Wink
