Sorry I have to take issue with this one . Every band that has been around for any length of time ( Including Yes) has done this in the form of " best of" or "Greatest Hits " (Classic Yes comes to mind plus about a million live albums)  I don't think I would classify it as a travesty.

I can see your point: at least on Close to the Edge, Relayer, and especially Tales from Topographic Oceans, context matters. But on Yessongs, for example, they mix up the songs from The Yes Album, Fragile, and CttE, and that running order works fine, now that I’ve had 30 years to get used to it!

What about your own Yes songs?

Yes protests against STD shaming with their song "The Clap is No Disgrace."

One of their very best post-1980 songs. I just ran out of room on my list. “Hearts” and “Our Song” also didn’t make the cut.
