I have a good feeling that Chris Squire's "Fish Out of Water" album will win this poll, although I could be wrong. Smile

Has to be Fish - an absolute gem of an album

Aye, I voted for "Wives" but not without thinking about it first!  "Fish" and "Olias" are nearly as good!

Wakeman for sure. He stole ELP's thunder which was very annoying for this ELP fan!

I'd have to go with Mr. Squire for this one.

Olias. The only debut Yes solo album that, for me, conjured a similar sense of wonder to classic period Yes.

I second that. Olias is one of my all time favorite albums. Top 3.

Feels Good To Me feels like a very good choice to me indeed, although The Six Wives is a worthy contender.
