I'm a big Yes fan but also not going to post a list.  I will say that Tormato, The Yes Album,
and Tales are all favorites, and kind of lost some slight preference for Drama over the years.
Relayer has always been OK but not a favorite.  Thanks for the post above about Magnification
being a great swan song for Anderson, as those last Anderson albums kind of got a little lost
figuring out which is which.  Seems the title track is what I want to hear today, and it sounds
just right.  Looking forward to listening to the rest of it.  I didn't know it was the only record
done only with four members (and an orchestra).

The new one, Heaven and Earth, is up, and even on YouTube.  And, no one has put it on Wikipedia under Yes, yet.

You're reading things into what I wrote that were not there.  When I posted what I wrote, Heaven and Earth had a Wiki entry but it wasn't listed.  The 2011 was the last on the Yes list.   It's since changed.

hard thing to do, I know what's at the bottom of the list, up there is more difficult to arrange LOL

the last album was a huge disappointment for me, that'll be last, also at the bottom will be Open your Eyes, Union, Tormato and Fly from Here.
 The rest is quite difficult to arrange.

3) Going for the one
4) Tales
5) Fragile
6) The Yes album

Haven't gotten past BG

1. Tales From Topographic Oceans (Whenever a girl breaks my heart...this is my solution and it never fails to heal me)
2. Fragile (Probably one of the greatest prog albums ever)
3. Close to the Edge (Enough has already been said about this one)
4. Relayer (The more intense version of Close to the Edge)
5. Going for the One (Features the greatest song ever...Awaken)
6. The Yes Album (My first Yes album...The Yes Album...Starship Trooper and Yours is no Disgrace are great)
7. Time and a Word (Trippy and cool, especially the beginning of The Prophit)
8. Drama ("I am...I am... A CAMERA!")
9. Tormato (Has some pretty good songs, but some terrible ones too)
10. 90125 (Pop, but still it's alright and I love Leave it)
11. Big Generator (Only good ones are Final Eyes, Shoot High, Aim Low, and I'm Running, sometimes Rhythm of Love)
12. Yes (Nothing special here)
