A few years ago, I would have voted Relayer, but I think Fragile has become my favorite Yes album. But they are both in my Yes top 3.

Edit: But I think I pressed Relayer by mistake:)

Relayer. How many megabytes of washing can you fit onto a phone?

Why not Relayer vs. Talk?

Fragile by a hair.

Fragile without wasting a second thinking about it.

Fragile, for having "South Side of the Sky", "Mood for a Day", and "Heart of the Sunrise".

I do love Relayer, but it's one of those albums I have to be in a certain mood before I listen to it. At least Relayer didn't have that BIZARRE booklet that came with Fragile.

Big fan of both these albums. I love every moment of Relayer. Fragile has a couple of solo pieces that I'm not to fond of ( Wakeman and Anderson). It's for that reason, Relayer edges Fragile. I think Relayer is Yes's most adventurous release. It also has Steve Howe's best electric guitar playing.

I prefer Fragile to Relayer but I prefer The Yes Album, Close To The Edge and Going For The One to both of them.

I rated them both 98.5. Not joking. But the slight edge goes to Fragile for me. Neither are the 100 that is Close to the Edge.

Fragile
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Relayer for me. It was the first Yes album that I got into and it's the one I return to most often. Fragile is mightily good but a bit inconsistent (Cans and Brahms , I'm looking at you!).
