1) 90125, Close to the Edge, Fragile (I'd put Fragile slightly behind, but really better than the 3 followers)
4) Relayer, TFTOceans, GFTO 7) Yes Album 8)Time and a word, Tormato, Drama Others I wouldn't take off. One should re-record some songs from Big Generator to current days the way they were recorded in the 70's - early 80's...

A complex list to assemble, but I agree with the original post that Talk has to be the worst. I couldn't get into it to save my life. I saw that a couple of the brethren put Heaven and Earth at the bottom of the list, so that album must be awful.

I know that both Drama and 90215 are somewhat controversial in prog camps, but taken by themselves they are both excellent albums that contain stellar songwriting (which is missing from some albums even during they 70s heyday). Anyway, I look forward with bittersweet anticipation to seeing them in Brooklyn next month. I'm sure the tribute to Chris will be pervasive.

Haven't gotten past BG
1. Tales From Topographic Oceans (Whenever a girl breaks my heart...this is my solution and it never fails to heal me) 2. Fragile (Probably one of the greatest prog albums ever) 3. Close to the Edge (Enough has already been said about this one) 4. Relayer (The more intense version of Close to the Edge) 5. Going for the One (Features the greatest song ever...Awaken) 6. The Yes Album (My first Yes album...The Yes Album...Starship Trooper and Yours is no Disgrace are great) 7. Time and a Word (Trippy and cool, especially the beginning of The Prophit) 8. Drama ("I am...I am... A CAMERA!") 9. Tormato (Has some pretty good songs, but some terrible ones too) 10. 90125 (Pop, but still it's alright and I love Leave it) 11. Big Generator (Only good ones are Final Eyes, Shoot High, Aim Low, and I'm Running, sometimes Rhythm of Love) 12. Yes (Nothing special here) |
