The rules are exactly the same as the tournament for Rush. Pick your least favorite, and every couple of days, I will remove the highest vote-getter and restart the poll. This will continue until only two albums are left, at which point they will slug it out for "best" Yes album. Voting for round one now over. Those eliminated:
Open Your Eyes (12 votes)
Close to the Edge + 90125 (7 votes each).
There are some new rules to add:
Your Vote Only Counts If You Make a Post That Says What it Is, to Avoid Cheating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have made multiple voting available, so I can get a sense of which direction it's going, but voting 20 times for your least favorite won't make a difference.
Standings Heading into Round Two (solely for my addition purposes):
Yes - 1
Time and a Word - 0
The Yes Album - 0
Fragile - 1
Tales From Topographic Oceans - 0
Relayer - 3
Going For the One - 0
Tormato - 5
Drama - 1
Big Generator - 4
Union - 2
Talk - 2
The Ladder - 0
Magnification - 1
Let Round Two Begin!!!!!!!

Hard to believe CTTE was voted- surely there can't be anyone that seriously thinks that's Yes' worst, even if they dislike it?
Myself, otherwise, it's pretty clear the way this poll is going to go. The 80s and 90s AOR albums are going to take a hammering. And I'm not going to against the grain. It has to be 'Open Your Eyes'. Who knows whatever possessed Yes to do such a bland AOR album after the return to prog furore of Keys To Ascension (neither volume has been included here, or 'Keystudio')? The wrong album at the wrong time. Two wrongs didn't make a right.

I'm sorry, that's the vote.  Normally, there is no great reason to make a big case out of this. Out of a vote and out of an opinion. But of course, we're talking the album that shouldn't be touched - Close To The Oh-so-brilliant Edge. I juse don't want to see Close To The Edge, the usually unbeatable, in the contest too much. It's anyway one vote against many others that, most surely, we'll keep the album among the last phases of the contest. If not, for the n time, CTTE will "surprisingly" win the challenge. --- enjoy Barney.  -------------

I'm persuaded, that Talk (maybe also BG) has the same highest quality like CTTE or Relayer, and I like them equally... and (as a prog fan) I needn't to joke. :) Though I like all Yes albums, Open Your Eyes is their weakest definitely |

I would like to get round two started before Thanksgiving, when I won't be here to do that, so voting for round one ends tomorrow at 3:30.
Also, new rules regarding voting will be implemented when we move to round two, so reread my first post before voting in round two (I will also post the rules in my round two notification post, and the most important one in the poll question). Regards IPOF |

Gone for Tormato in round two. This album was a big, BIG disappointment to me after the wonderful GFTO. It was a mess I felt, and even the cover reflected that. (Although I also dislike GFTO's cover too!)
This was the beginning of the big slide for Yes I felt.

...It's me.
 I like later albums like 90125 and even a little bit Big Generator, and I didn't listened to Magnification, The Ladder or Union, so my vote went for the one that didn't impressed me too much.
Close To Th Edge is maybe overrated, but he's really good, and I think it's stupid to have voted against it. What a shame...

I am a bear of very little brain. Please help me here. From the poll it appears you are asked to vote for the album you LEAST like....but people seem to be voting for the album they MOST like...hence (perhaps) CTTE has been eliminated and Relayer is about to be...?????

I vote Relayer because of the limited Yes albums I own, it is my least favourite. I know there are far worse Yes albums, but I am not a completionist and rarely buy the low[er]-rated albums by Prog bands (as rated by Prog-lovers). Several of the Yes albums I haven't heard in twenty years or more, and my recollection is extremely vague as I never liked them enough to really pay attention/ listen to them (background music at friends' houses)... So I won't vote for those I don't feel I really know. |

It is obvious that this threat is a joke. There were votes to CTTE by people who wanted to vote it as their favorite but didn't know they were voting for their least favorite, and others that dont find it the worst, they only think it is overrated... plus the threat macker wanted CTTE to be out so bad that seeing that CTTE was the second worse changed the rules in the middle of the game to eliminate it Well, all CTTE haters, you will have to face it, CTTE IS the best prog Album ever, so stop making this stupid polls to show that CTTE isn't that good, all prog-sites say it is. Period BTW CTTE pwns TAAB, deal with it -------------
