go with the Yes album... for the simple fact that s has ended up as 'vol. 1' of Yes's greatest hits.  Damn near every song on it are considered Yes 'classics'

It has much more power I think, don't get me wrong The Yes Album is great but Red is just one of those landmark albums that sends shivers down my spine.

I know this might seem silly but i'm interested in seeing which album the general public thinks is the stronger overall.

For me it is 'The Yes album', I feel it is more cohesive, with slightly stronger songs, and a lot more innovative. Red is an excellent album so please, don't tell me what I already know. There are a couple of things I don't like about it, 'Providence' I feel is Reds 'Moonchild', only funnily enough, not as good!  King Crimson are much better at jamming and improvising live, that's why the album 'Starless and Bible Black' has such strong tracks.

It's also slightly less 'Progressive' in that most of the songs are a lot more basic eg. Red, Fallen Angel. Though the latter is my favourite song on the album. However 'Starless' is possibly the best, very moving at one point, exciting the next.

What do you guys think!? I predict Red will win as it seems to have more followers.
