	CTTE and its one of the two greatest albums of all time along with Foxtrot IMO. They're perfect from the first note to last

	Toss up between CTTE, Tales, and Relayer. They are all very different and equally great.

	It's funny but I would have thought of voting automatically for CttE, Fragile or Relayer, but checking my playcount on media player, it is The Yes Album. So that's what got the vote. Any threads on what people's most played album is?

	Althought my favourite YES line up is the one from Fragile/Close to the edge, I voted Relayer. Its an amazing album, very fresh. The band play with great abandon. In a way I find it very similar to Close to the edge, maybe because they have both 3 songs and I find To Be Over very much like And You And I (not that they are equal, but share the same feeling). Actually its very hard to choose the best. But right know I'm going for Relayer.

	Very hard to choose, actually. I have gone for Relayer, as it was always underrated when it came out. Yes fans said at the time - 'what? no Rick Wakeman?' - but it has gone on to be a classic. Probably I would place Fragile second, and GFTO or CTTE third. Keystudio deserves consideration too, by far the best of the later stuff.

	Very close for me between CTTE and Going For The One. I think GFTO is underrated by Yes fans,tracks like Awaken,Parallels and Turn Of the Century are among their very best. But,in the end, Close To The Edge is a seminal Prog Rock album,so gets my vote.

	CTTE is their best effort, The Yes Album comes second.
