Fragile
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

I rated them both 98.5. Not joking. But the slight edge goes to Fragile for me. Neither are the 100 that is Close to the Edge.

I prefer Fragile to Relayer but I prefer The Yes Album, Close To The Edge and Going For The One to both of them.

Big fan of both these albums. I love every moment of Relayer. Fragile has a couple of solo pieces that I'm not to fond of ( Wakeman and Anderson). It's for that reason, Relayer edges Fragile. I think Relayer is Yes's most adventurous release. It also has Steve Howe's best electric guitar playing.

Fragile, for having "South Side of the Sky", "Mood for a Day", and "Heart of the Sunrise".

I do love Relayer, but it's one of those albums I have to be in a certain mood before I listen to it. At least Relayer didn't have that BIZARRE booklet that came with Fragile.

Fragile without wasting a second thinking about it.

Fragile by a hair.

Why not Relayer vs. Talk?

Relayer. How many megabytes of washing can you fit onto a phone?

A few years ago, I would have voted Relayer, but I think Fragile has become my favorite Yes album. But they are both in my Yes top 3.

Edit: But I think I pressed Relayer by mistake:)
