Going For The One is the apex, the zenith, the Mt. Everest of Yes music, prog music in general, well... music in general.

It's close between Fragile and Close to the Edge for me, with The Yes Album not too far behind.  I'll go with Close to the Edge.

Even Wakeman thought Tales was over the top.

Personally, I value my own opinion over Wakeman's!!  What a doof that guy is, he's 50% of WHY Tales is the best album ever made!  And he claims he doesn't like it!  I think his ego was just burned because the rest of the boys made him lay back and paint with beautiful colors, instead of shred the keys all the time like he does on CTTE...

 

... anyway, Moraz is a better soloist (SOUND CHASER!)

Big smile

 I'd never really thought about it before but you're right. The keyboards on Tales (especially sides 1 and 2) are awesome and a change to his normal style.

Coz they're not on the list, but surely no Yes fan would vote for them above the classics? (although I have seen Union get votes in another poll!)

I've voted for Going For The One as I love it and I felt sorry for it only having 1 vote (and it has a spelling mistake).

CTTE by a mile.

After that I would go with The Yes Album, Going For The One and finally Drama.

I have never truly loved Fragile or Relayer. Both contain moments of greatness but overall they are rather patchy to me, Fragile more so than Relayer. (The popularity of Roundabout baffles me greatly.) 

Yessongs is enjoyable, but I must admit that I rarely listen to it. Don't care for the live version of CTTE on it, to be honest. Siberian Khatru on the other hand is just mind-blowingly good, as is Yours Is No Disgrace.  

I don't have Tales yet and I am not in a hurry to get it either, judging by what I have heard from it on the Symphonic DVD (Ritual) I believe that there is just too much excellent prog to be acquired before that one!

I also own Tormato and Magnification, both substandard efforts IMO but Magnification is the more listenable record of these two.

The Ladder and 90125 are the two records I would really like to add to my Yes collection next.

Why aren't Big Generator and Union on the list

To be serious, at least the albums including and after KTA should have been listed. Well, so far only one voted for other anyway (possibly Time and a Word), so just ignore me

The toughness for me was between Relayer, CttE and Tales, eventually I chose Relayer, just for the sake of Gates of Delirium. Well, half the album, worth it!
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
