Yes, it was a foregone conclusion that no other album would even come close to topping Close to the Edge, or that my own personal top-rated album would finish up bottom of the list again. Tongue

3. Fragile
4. The Yes Album
5. Going for the One
6. Drama
7. TFTO

The answer today is:

The Yes Album
90125
Fragile
Close to the Edge
Drama
Going for the One
Relayer

The first five are my go-to albums and I don’t really rank them. It’s more like a food craving.

For many GFTO was a bit of a let down after Relayer. I'm glad to see it in the top 7 though. Also, it's nice to see T&AW in the top ten. I've never been a huge fan of the debut but it's where things all started and so as an important part of their history it's good to see that make the top ten too. I personally would put BG in replace of it though but I know that's not a popular opinion! LOL. Actually I'd put it (or maybe even talk) in where 90125 is. ;)

I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that my own personal YES Top 10 looks nothing like the overall PA Top 10. Smile

1. The Quest
2. The Ladder 
3. Talk
4. Going for the One 
5. Close to the Edge 
6. The Yes Album 
7. Fly from Here 
8. Magnification 
9. Tales from Topographic Oceans
10. 90210

Easy in cases like this; simply go in the order you got the albums - you don't have to think too much and chances are it is how you would have ordered them anyway...

1. Relayer
2. Tales from Topographic Oceans
3. Going For The One
4. The Yes Album
5. Close To The Edge
6. Tormato
7. Drama
