Man it was close: Union, Big Genny, Tormato, Open Your Eyes are all pretty stinky (Tormato less so)

but the wiener is...Big Generator!

man I can smell it from hereDead

Big Generator at least has some fun, but Union is an album that has no soul...the songs sound exactly the same and the songs are not good...UNION is the worst album made by Yes.

Big Generator IMO because there is something to like in most Yes albums but something went terribly wrong here

Yes, even the most magnificent tree bears sour fruit.

I think I voted for Mag. It's the only Yes album I just can't listen to. I like "In the Presence Of," but I can listen to that on the wonderful Yes Symphonic DVD.

Even with Big Generator, I program my CD for tracks 1, 6 and 7 (Rhythm of Love, Final Eyes, I'm Running) and it's a pleasant listen.

Open Your Eyes. That was supposed to be a solo album by Chris until the record co. had another idea. I did enjoy the tracks New State Of Mind, Open Your Eyes, Fortune Seller.

I am working on the naive assumption that those who voted for 'Big Generator' have never got round to hearing 'Open Your Eyes'.... it truly is an offence to the ears and, with the exception of the title track on a good day, with the wind behind it, can't be defended at any costs.

I'm assuming that the two jokers who voted for 'Drama' are just having a laugh...

I must go with Big Generator. But granted, I puked when I first heard Union/Onion. I was a newbie Yes fan at the time, and the nice Roger Dean Union cover lured me in. I didn't even look at the tracklisting. I got rid of it about 2 weeks later.

BUT, when I heard Big Generator, man, that stuff is just slick, shallow pop-garbage. It *almost* made Onion look better. But it didn't.

So I guess it's a tie.

"Open Your Eyes: Close Your Ears", that should be the title for this album.

Shame on you! It's not prog, but nice. Have you ever listened to "Open Your Eyes", that's what I call uninspired and boring. "Talk" got it's shining moments, you are def if you can't hear it.

What's so bad about BIG GENERATOR and Open your eyes, I mean I like them, shouldn't every one else too.
