Probably Keys To Ascension, which is my favorite Yes live album.

But of course... for the reason of length I would choose Yessongs (I don't see a box set as an album)/

But if I had to choose a studio album: Going For The One is my favorite, but I think 90125 is the album I could listen to most without getting bored.

Relayer. If either Yesyears or In A Word had more of Relayer on them then I'd think about chosing one of those instead, but I'd need to have Gates of Delirium and Soundchaser at the very least.
What?

Couldn't agree with you more!  My introduction to Yes was Relayer, but (despite the title-track being branded as pop-esque), GFTO is my favorite Yes album for so many reasons...

Because I can't choose between CTTE and Relayer...... I'll say Tales.

It lasts longer anyway because you'll have double the music to explore and can get used to the more "difficult" parts.

Relayer for me. To Be Over is one of my favorite songs ever and both Gates and Soundchaser are great as well.

The gun scenario is a little off-putting, but I agree with you: Fragile.

Relayer or Fragile.

Wait, did you say whether the gun was loaded?  
 
 
 
Okay, Relayer.  Possibly the perfect Yes album, although five years ago I rated Close to the Edge higher and said at that time The Yes Album was my favorite.  Tastes change....

I would have a difficult time choosing. I'm sure it wouldn't be TFTO though

Close To The Edge, no doubt. It's just too perfect. For some reason, Fragile never grabbed me quite like CTTE did.
