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!!!!!!!

But come on, even if you don't agree with how highly rated it is, is it as bad as others?

My vote goes to "Big Generator."

No, it's not as bad as the others. Which is why I didn't vote for it. Yet.

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 think this is supposed to be about the one you like the least. Not which one you have a grudge against.
