Well, I don't think it should be. It is if you go by their ratings on RateYourMusic though. I definitely prefer the KC ratings here on PA.

^I agree that it is not a hot take. However, I disagree with the notion.

90125 and Big Generator are far more interesting than The Yes Album.

That's a hot take indeed. Smile
As much as I like these two albums, TYA reigns supreme for me as one of Yes's best works.

They are very interesting albums, but IMHO, they are more uneven than TYA, especially Big Generator.

To me, TYA through GFTO constitutes Yes' great run, and I am hard pressed to choose a favorite among them. I love them all.

Since GFTO, the Yes albums I think are best are KeyStudio and The Ladder, with Magnification running a distant third.

I think Magnification is better than both Keystudio and The Ladder. LOL
I also love early Yes and I've never understood why so many dismiss those two albums. Confused

Yes and Time and a Word are both better than The Yes Album in my book

Interesting. 
TAAW and TYA were the first Yes albums I ever listened to, long ago, I will always love them. Tongue

Hot take: 1977 is for me the best year of the "classic era" in terms of advancement in production/recording technology! The early to mid 70's sound I find a bit too primitive and raw in general, while on the other hand, the sound of the late 70's to early 80's - too sterile and synth driven. 1977 IMHO is the golden blend of both!

Not a prog hot take but still a music hot take.

White Polish artists adopting (or more like copying) African-American gangsta rap/trap music stylistics is pretty much blackface without the makeup, similar to Polish reggae except here, even more contrived and fake. :v I cringe so friggin hard whenever I see all those trap mannerisms copied and pasted by local artists from my homeland, who mindlessly shoehorn in AAVE phrases,slang terms (remember kids: shіt ≠ gówno!!!!!) and even speech stress and prosody, into the Polish language. It's a different country with different musical traditions. Get over it.

^I think the whole concept of "cultural appropriation" is bullsh*t. Part of the crazy woke movement that is eroding our civil society.

Discuss (EDIT: Not too much, at least in this thread, to stay on topic Wink)

Because the Polish race has to remain pure? With pure Polish music? I guess you don't like it either when polish musicians play - let's say - Jazz or Blues or... Prog Rock!
