So why participate in this thread? By the way, did you happen to notice it was part of the "Top 10s" group?

1. Fragile

ABWH has to be a Yes album. Otherwise they could not have had a union.

Don't think I did this yet . . . my order might very well be a bit different every time I'd make this list--and after all, I'd rate every one of these a 10/10, but a ranked order for me would be roughly something like this:

This will surely be one of the more unusual rankings in the thread:

Tormato
Relayer
Drama
Going for the One
Tales from Topographic Oceans
Close to the Edge
Fragile
Big Generator
The Yes Album
Talk
Union
Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford & Howe (I consider that a Yes album)
Time and a Word
Yes
Magnification
Open Your Eyes
The Ladder
90125
Keystudio
Fly from Here
Heaven and Earth

Here we respect the taste of the other members, you don't need to be rude, I'm expressing my opinion in a free forum for which I done much more than you. If you don't agree with my taste, it's OK, but being rude is a game that two can play and I play it better than you....Be sure of that.

[QUOTE=Wakeman's Birotron]10/10:
-Close to the Edge
-Relayer

9,5/10:
-Fragile
-The Yes Album

8,5/10:
-Going for the One
-Time and a Word
-Tormato (Am I the only one here who loves the sound of that birotron?)
-Tales from Topograhpic Oceans

You are not alone   I´ve loved it since the day I first heard it, I think it was January 1979... Oh dear... you know the original UK edition ? I remember it vividly... those glory days of Tor landscapes and the positiveness of the music and my youth, in the middle of coldest Winter. It was so REFRESHMENT, recreation in fact LOL. Ah, "Tormato" from 1978 is one the VERY BEST they ever put on record. It´s absolutely true !

Utterly laughable. Also 90215 before Relayer? You gotta' be kidding. It belongs in the lower 10. But I guess it's to each his own.   I wasn't aware I had to follow certain rules when I am listing my own personal preferences. But considering your lack of appreciation for the brilliance of the Beatles, your pathetic opinion means absolutely nothing for you know nothing when it comes to music.   90125 was the first album I heard by the group when I was in high school and it holds a special place in my heart. Drama is an album I love because I was a heavy metal fan all through school. "Machine Messiah" has that really heavy sound I like and I love every single song on the album. Relayer has never been one of my favorites as the only song I really like is [URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gates_of_Delirium" rel="nofollow]The Gates of Delirium[/URL]. Tales is a bit meandering for me and even Rick Wakeman feels that way. Open Your Eyes is the only Yes album where I didn't like a single song which is why it ranks so low. [COLOR=#000033][/COLOR]  Before you bash others opinions you could at least make your own list before posting your idiotic comments.

I can see that you're miffed by me putting down your offbeat list, but however you dreamed up the idea that I don't appreciate the Beatles is beyond me. Puzzling, really.
