I prefer Big Generator over 90125. There's more epic and deep material on it. They weren't afraid to go further with the "owner of a lonely heart" style thing with "love will find a way" and "rhythm of love" but there's also stuff much closer to their seventies prog sound.

I prefer 90125, 

I like it a lot, I love to listen to that album, especially side A.

In my reviews, 90125 and Fragile got 8.5/10.

Fragile: It's a very good album but I dont like it very much. 

The instrumental pieces are very naive.

But from an artistic point of view, Fragile is more important in the Yes career...

That's a fact. Heart of the Sunrise is possibly my Yes song favourite...

So, I dont know...

Both equally

Fragile indeed !

To my eyes ( ears? )both LPs never fought in the same league.
The first is a milestone of rock music while the second is an honest FM product

I vote "Both equally" though I do very very slightly prefer 90125 a garden of utter bliss, it evokes what I enjoy the most in a modern city, including being in a room with LCD screens/LED of various kind of gear

Fragile's cover did a lot for the way I listen to it I guess ! It evokes fresh-air, pine-trees on limestone

The 15 year old Jared when it was released... 90125

The 56 year old Jared... Fragile still gets listened to periodically, I'd be quite content never to hear 90125 again
