I voted for Tormato just because I like the album, It's not their most adventurous album, but it's sort of a prelude to their most commercial album (90125), and at the time I bought it I read everywhere that it was next to drama their worst album (Union wasn't released yet at that time) but I found it to be a great album, with some great songs and good playing by the band.

I like Drama. I'd rather Jon singing, but Buggle-boy didn't do too bad of a job I guess.

The songs are excellent, and a cool change from normal yes. I wish they would perform some of the songs from
that album live with Jonny-boy.

No doubt  - Tales From Topographic Ocean...The most "indepth" prog album ever.

Oh don't get me wrong, yes ISNT yes without jon, but drama is still a kick ass album. It's original, and something they never did before. It's cool for a quick change.

Lunarscape, my regards! :-)

Your words are to the very point! ;-)

 

Personally I took almost a year to dig TALES (at the moment I was 17 and had and enjoyed several Yes's albums already) - the most complicated album for myself ever. But after I've got to it I always was the happiest man listening TALES...

The points Nos 2 and 3 for me in Yes discography are just RELAYER and CTTE, than KEyStudio follows... I also really like Time And A Word, Drama, ABWH'89, Union, Talk and The Ladder. There are also some albums (GFTO, Tormato) with some absolutely great stuff (AWAKEN, PARALLELS, ONWARDS), but including and some really weaker (IMHO) tracks...

The Yes album seems really overrated for me - I never liked Yours Is No Disgrace, 5th track and especially The Clap. But the less favourite albums for me (but it DOESEN'T MEAN that I don't like them! To my honest opinion Yes never released weak music - their weakest records are even better than average level ;-)) are their debut, Big Generator and Open Your Eyes.

I voted for Relayer, but Tormato is really an excellent and highly
underrated body of work. Given a chance, the album provides a very
satisfying listening experience. Frankly, that's pretty much the case for all
Yes albums ... except maybe the first two ...oh, and maybe 90125 ... and
Big Generator ... and Talk ... and Open Your Eyes. But other than that, all
the albums are great.

I voted for Going for the One - Because Awaken is the best work Yes produced but CTTE and TFTO and Relayer are all very close - These four albums demonstrate the awesome power of "Total progressive rock".....

And GDUB - Although I have yet to hear a lot of VDGG - I'm afraid it's on the third tier of prog - However Killer and Theme 1 are V. Good

Close To The Edge is the most 'perfect' prog album IMO.The word masterpeice gets used too much ...but not in this case.Solid Gold Prog...Yes at their very peak..great ensemble playing..LOVE IT!

Apparently, the UK audiences were somewhat vocal in their dislike of Trevor Horne as the lead singer. As Steve Howe put it 'Some members of the crowd were brutal to say the least'.

I quite like the album and I really feel for the two poor buggers who were thrown into the deep end but really, Yes without John Anderson is like...well Genesis without Phil Collins

you can put them on whatever tier you want..it still doesn't change the fact that they are the best.

I went for Going for the One too. It's the first Yes album I heard and i still have very fond memories of that orange labelled black cassette i bought for 50p in a bargain bin.

I voted for it for three reasons:

1. Awaken - just awesome, especially the harp breakdown

2. Turn of the Century - Just beautiful

3. Cos of the misspelling of the word Wonderous (sic)

 Cooooool

I'll second that. I like to distinguish between favourite and greatest.
CTTE is a massive achievement, it is the first and last word in the genre.
