My three would be in order: Relayer, Close to the Edge, and Keystudio (or if you prefer, Keys to Ascension 1 and 2 as a set).

Close to the Edge (because...!)
Relayer (because: "The Gates of Delirium" and "Sound Chaser")
Going for the One (because: "Parallels" and "Awaken")

CttE, Relayer, tYA, GftO, Fragile

I would think?

They are definitely my three favourites. I find Fragile inconsistent, Relayer just a noise and Tales too long and boring in places.

If you replace GftO with Relayer, then yes.

Welcome to the forums.

The Yes Album, and Close To The Edge, I agree. My third would be 90125.

I think Relayer, Relayer, Relayer... (but would probably rank the three you mention 4, 2, and 3).
Or actually, Yessongs beats them all but maybe doesn't count.

Hi! Are the three best Yes's albums ever Going for the One, Close to the Edge, and The Yes Album? Let me elaborate on this a bit more.
The Yes Album is undeniably a ground-breaking record that fully developed the Yes's style. Released in February 1971, as an inventive combination of rock, jazz, and classical influences, this record flashed and solidified the Yes' status as one of the most important progressive rock bands.
Widely considered a quintessential record of the genre, Close to the Edge is a 1972 album that features Yes's extraordinary musicianship, complex compositions as its side-long track, and philosophical lyrics.
The 1977 album Going for the One is a successful blend of catchy melodies that are reachable to a wider audience and very complex parts like "Awaken," of which many claim that is musically the most matured Yes' over-10-minute-long song.
What do you think? Discuss.
