Today, I'll go with the following. Disclaimer: It may differ from my previous responses.
1-3. The Yes Album, Fragile, & 90125 (this is the Exquisite category) 4-6. Close to the Edge, Going for the One, & Relayer (this is the Excellent category ... apologies in advance to the CTTE fanatics) 7. Yes or Drama or Heaven and Earth or Fly from Here or Big Generator (this is the Very Good category) I probably forgot one or six, as they have so many albums. One aspect that makes Yes so interesting is that have used different personnel to stage comebacks. Maybe the remaining repulsive forces will come together and do something Excellent. I seriously doubt it, though. We all know what happened the last time they ... I digress. |

Slightly surprised at Fragile being number 2 but I would agree with the top 6.

I wouldn't say I'm surprised at the Top 7 placings - just disappointed that four of my favourite Yes albums didn't make it into the final Top 7 list.

rather predictable top 7. What 4 favorite of yours did not make the list?

I've never understood why some enjoy Fly from here. Half of it are leftover ideas from the Drama album.
I don't think I listen to FFH more than a couple of times. Same with their last album. A chore to listen to.

Fly from Here will be my next featured Yes album, so you'll probably want to skip that thread.

I'll give the album another chance and get back to you. But don't get upset if my opinion remains unchanged.

^ Of course I won't be upset. Everyone has the right to their own opinion in the progosphere.
