Relayer for sure. I've always viewed it in nearly the same vein as Close to the Edge. Gates of Delirium is possibly my favorite epic ever.

Uh-huh ... and add Perpetual Change and All Good People to that list of Yes classics ... not having to compete with Wakeman or Moraz, Howe dominates like he never would again ... and the results are remarkable ...

Fragile further advanced prog in the same way King Crimson did.

Chris Squire's "Fish Out Of Water" is one of Yes' best albums.  I'm sure it would be above, say, Fragile on my top 10 Yes list.
of course...
Tales and Relayer are the king of music.

Even though I voted CTTE I think if I had to vote for best Yes song it would have to be Awaken. GFT1 is an exellent album and should have done better in the poll. |
Start a NEW poll for "Favorite YES tune" I think you can add up to twenty selections.

 The Buggles, Tauhd? That song's a great, creative piece of pure pop fun! I love it!  |
Yes Pete, a funny song but The Buggles in Yes (Drama), do you think it is credible and serious ?
Trevor Horn and Jeoff Downes were The Buggles but singing and playing keyboards for Yes is heretic
Could you imagine Frank Sinatra singing for Genesis ?

All true, but the proof's there for the hearing. Drama is a far better effort than 90125, which was the album which made me foresake my once favourite band. After I heard "Owner of a Lonley Heart" I didn't reach for a Yes LP for a long time. I saw them on the 9012live tour but that was only because I'd bought the ticket already. It was DIRE!!
Rabin's inclusion is twice the herecy in my book!

You're right "prog fellow" from England!! But I think of the album "Open your eyes": probably it's the worst album by Yes, as well one of the most boring cd's!!

Yes you are right....Open Your Eyes is pretty bad. I tend to play the old classics or The Ladder more than Big Generator and Open Your Eyes now.

I love all of those albums. In my opinion, Yes have never made a really bad album, though Big Generator tested my loyalty a little.

i was lucky enough to hear fragile and close to the edge in a row, so i experienced the evolution of the band, and the understanding why close to the edge is a masterpiece... and the last of that line-up, i like Alan White, he is solid and a good performer, but Bill Bruford is a better drummer

Every Album listed here I love. Overall, though, I would have to say TFTO is my absolute favorite. I did notice when I bought the Rhino reissue over Christmas that the introduction to "Revealing Science of God" had been extended. I have been wondering why they took it out of the original LP. I also enjoyed the "Studio Run-throughs" on Disc 2. It gives a good sense of the guys just playing in the studio. All in all, I have all the Rhino reissues except "Tormato" and "Drama". |
I love you, man.

Basically, Peter Banks was out when the album was released and Steve Howe was now "IN". Same goes with Yesterdays, when it was released Bruford "out" White "in".
Politics and legalities.
