I have to agree with The Ladder. It's not the greatest, but it is very catchy and accessible.

I guage "catchiness" by what you'd recommend to a new listener. I've always recommended Fragile to people sampling Yes even though it's mostly a solo snippets album. After they've beaten it to death in concert I can no longer listen to Roundabout...ughh. The album I'd really like to vote for is Drama which is THE underrated Yes album and I wish they would have put out at least three more with that lineup--killer stuff.

It's hard for me to choose between The Yes Album and Keystudio.....
But as Keystudio has no votes.....

Maybe you shouldn't listen to prog in the nude.  I voted "Drama", I once woke up with "Into the Lens" stuck in my head on the day of an exam. Unfortunately it wasn't a drama exam.

Fragile no doubt. Beside the solo work's all the songs were proggy and very catchy. Amazing album by the way.

TFTO has many catchy melodies (My favorite Yes, and PROG album, BTW)
But seriously, i believe that Fragile or maybe The Yes Album wins.

Seriously, how is that possible? I want the whole story. Now.

I think this guy misread the title of the topic... As the creator of the topic said in the 1st post, you don't chose your FAVORITE album, but the CATCHIEST one...
Or maybe he truly believes that Relayer is the catchiest Yes album...  Well there are some parts like in ''Soon'' or in ''To Be Over'' where we can call the music catchy, but it's definitely not the whole album.
By the way, Relayer is my favoriiiiite album (One of my top 5 ever from any band), but the catchiest one is The Yes Album... (which is a fav too)

The Yes Album is most accessible in my opinion and is very catchy. Great melodies on that one.

Overall, I suppose that Magnification is the most accesible, but it's still rather proggy.

Got it in one! This one is easily accessible to the non progger. Lots of catchy tunes!
