 Topic: Yes Studio Albums - Best To WorstPosted: September 27 2023 at 07:34 |
It doesn't generate much love from me. The best I can say about Big Generator is it's marginally better than Open Your Eyes - although that's no great recommendation.

1 Close to the Edge (1972) 2 Going for the One (1977) 3 Fragile (1971) 4 The Yes Album (1971) 5 Relayer (1974) 6 Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973) 7 Yes (1969) 8 Time and a Word (1970) 9 Tormato (1978) 10 Big Generator (1987) 11 Drama (1980) 12 Magnification (2001) 13 The Ladder (1999) 14 Mirror to the Sky (2023) 15 90125 (1983) After the first 15, the rest seem to me to have one or two redeemable songs, but it's in dribs and drabs. Difficult to order them. # Open your Eyes (1997) # Union (1991) # Talk (1994) # Fly From Here (2011) # Heaven & Earth (2014) # The Quest (2021) |

I'll largely endorse my Welsh friend!! Except, I'd put TFTO in at No. 5. I no longer listen to TFTO, I study it. I always learn something new every time I hear it.

Well, the bump solution is simple: you put the last two albums issued under the name Yes at the end of all lists posted, except for Paul's list where you put them on top, and you've finished!  |
