It is obvious that this threat is a joke. There were votes to CTTE by people who wanted to vote it as their favorite but didn't know they were voting for their least favorite, and others that dont find it the worst, they only think it is overrated... plus the threat macker wanted CTTE to be out so bad that seeing that CTTE was the second worse changed the rules in the middle of the game to eliminate it  Well, all CTTE haters, you will have to face it, CTTE IS the best prog Album ever, so stop making this stupid polls to show that CTTE isn't that good, all prog-sites say it is. Period  BTW CTTE pwns TAAB, deal with it

I vote Relayer because of the limited Yes albums I own, it is my least favourite.
I know there are far worse Yes albums, but I am not a completionist and rarely buy the low[er]-rated albums by Prog bands (as rated by Prog-lovers).
Several of the Yes albums I haven't heard in twenty years or more, and my recollection is extremely vague as I never liked them enough to really pay attention/ listen to them (background music at friends' houses)... So I won't vote for those I don't feel I really know.

I had to go with the big generator. It's a surprise not many people have voted for it. Maybe most people didn't understand the question.

Yes - Union. Not a bad album, not at all. But it's my least favourite out of those remaining in the list.

I am a bear of very little brain. Please help me here. From the poll it appears you are asked to vote for the album you LEAST like....but people seem to be voting for the album they MOST like...hence (perhaps) CTTE has been eliminated and Relayer is about to be...?????

I like later albums like 90125 and even a little bit Big Generator, and I didn't listened to Magnification, The Ladder or Union, so my vote went for the one that didn't impressed me too much.
Close To Th Edge is maybe overrated, but he's really good, and I think it's stupid to have voted against it. What a shame... |
Do you have a vote for round two?

Gone for Tormato in round two. This album was a big, BIG disappointment to me after the wonderful GFTO. It was a mess I felt, and even the cover reflected that. (Although I also dislike GFTO's cover too!) 
This was the beginning of the big slide for Yes I felt.

Voting for round one now over.
Those eliminated:
Open Your Eyes (12 votes)
Close to the Edge + 90125 (7 votes each).
There are some new rules to add:
Your Vote Only Counts If You Make a Post That Says What it Is, to Avoid Cheating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have made multiple voting available, so I can get a sense of which direction it's going, but voting 20 times for your least favorite won't make a difference.
Standings Heading into Round Two (solely for my addition purposes):
Yes - 1
Time and a Word - 0
The Yes Album - 0
Fragile - 1
Tales From Topographic Oceans - 0
Relayer - 3
Going For the One - 0
Tormato - 5
Drama - 1
Big Generator - 4
Union - 2
Talk - 2
The Ladder - 0
Magnification - 1
Let Round Two Begin!!!!!!!
