Again, don't know if this has been done but I can't find it anywhere. Like the Genesis one, just list your favourite to least favourite Yes album. If you haven't heard all of them, just say the ones you have heard. Anyway, here's mine!
1. Close To The Edge (10/10) 2. Fragile (9/10) 3. The Yes Album (9/10) 4. Going For The One (9/10) 5. Time And A Word (9/10) 6. Relayer (9/10) 7. Tales From Topographic Oceans (9/10) 8. Yes (8/10) 9. Drama (8/10) 10. 90125 (7/10) 11. Magnification (6/10) 12. Fly From Here (6/10) 13. Union (6/10) 14. Tormato (6/10) 15. Open Your Eyes (6/10) 16. The Ladder (5/10) 17. Talk (4/10) As always, thanks for any feedback!

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Yes, it's a magnificent album. The one that turned me really into a fan, if I remember well.

1. Going For The One. Utterly wondrous
 2. Close To The Edge. Extremely radical stuff in its day. 3. 90125. A rebirth,and a damned good one, at that. 4. Relayer. Gates of Delirium remains utterly incredible. 5. Talk. Some incredible stuff on this. A fine Rabin swan song. 6. Tormato. Yes, seriously. 7. Fragile. Most is incredible, but the solo stuff mainly grates these days. 8. The Ladder. Just love this album, full of life. 9. The Yes Album. A young band experimenting brilliantly. 10. Magnification. A wonderful swan song for Anderson. 11. Time and a Word. Finding their way. 12. Fly From Here. Great first side. Very average second. 13. Union. Onions. Should have been brilliant. Wasn't. 14. Yes. Naive in some respects, but undoubted talent there. 15. Big Generator. A huge disappointment. 16. Drama. Sorry, but I never liked it. I do not tend to like Yes without JA. 17. That one with Sherwood. The shockingly awful one, so forgettable I have forgotten its bloody name!  I have not included the reunion cd's, as I regard them as live albums with bonus studio tracks, but if I did, they would fit somewhere nicely at 10 and 11  And I didn't put in TFTO. Bad day today! Shove that one in at 12.

Nice original list. Taste is a funny thing, isn't it? Sometimes ones tastes differs quite from the masses (prog masses, if such a thing exists )Nice to see GFTO and 90125 so high in your list. Tormato is quite nice, actually.

Thanks Marcel. Yep, no accounting for taste! Tormato is probably the Yes album I listen to mist these days. I don't know, but those opening bars of Future Times and Anderson's vocals just lift me up.

Good to see GFTO getting some love. It is am excellent album. Awaken encapsulates everything that was good about Yes at the time. 90125 is also pretty special for me. |

Tormato really has something. Future Times is still pure magic. Very original stuff too. Too bad it all fell a bit apart after that. Nice to see Talk so high in your list, even though that isn't one of my personal favorites. But I need to give it a listen again. The first two tracks blow me away, but for the rest I have the feeling I never gave the rest of the album a fair chance to grow on me.

The epic track, usually called this lineup's CTTE, is magical, and well worth revisiting. Also, I just love those first two tracks.

Yes, GFTO in general, and Awaken especially, are amazing.
