oh really...... since when does different equate to bad or
uninspiring. Sure if you compare those albums to their peak 70's
they suffer in comparison.... but what doesn't. Yes put out great
albums in the 80's, 90's, and the ..... 00's. Were there stinkers
in there.... of course..... but over the course of a nearly 40 year
career you've earned the right to have a few... and only a few is
what they did.

hmmm....
experimental was not Yes's calling card.... we'd all agree with that.
but I don't think melody was King Crimson's either.... especially the middle era.
A wash in my book if trying to compare the two.

For me, it's absolutely no contest. View my Sig. 
Although I do like Crimson a great deal, as well. But Yes win this match, all the way.

gotta be the KC, just for sheer body of work... yes produced some dodgey work in the 80s (much as I love the earlier stuff), but KC just keep getting better! and they never compromise.

Two of my favorite bands but right now I would have to side with King Crimson. Whereas Yes went downs hill with time and turned into something that I can not tolerate, King Crimson kept reinventing itself with changes that I really enjoy.

I voted Crimso
Personally I find Crimson to be much more diverse and and had a much more real or natural feeling, I love Yes also but KC always wins me over.

Yes but it doesn't surprise me that KC is ahead of Yes. In part I think
this is not just because of the esoteric more experimental elements of
KC over Yes's melodic/symphonic output but that more younger prog fans
who are attracted to Metal/heavy roots would relate more to KC's output
than Yes.

Edge to Yes on two counts...
Out of this world vocal harmonies, and Chris Squire's Rickenbacker.
