Beleive it or not one of my favourite Yes albums is Drama (Tales is another one!). We have to remember that it was Downes and Horn who produced Toromato regardless of your opinion of the work. The sound on Drama is so crystal clear and presice but has depth at the same time. So it gets my vote

I voted for CTTE.

My next choice would've been The ladder, 90125 or Relayer.

Tales from Topographic Oceans.  Hands down.  How they're able to take their music in so many directions within one double album is beyond me.  There isn't a moment on that album that I consider filler.  It's all absolutely enthralling. 

1. Tales

2. CTTE

3. Relayer

4. Fragile

5. The Yes Album

6. Going for the One (but Awaken is one of Yes's greatest works of art ever!)

I voted for Fragile.  The Yes Album comes in a very close second.

much as I think at times Tales is Yes at it's best, Close to the Edge really has to be considered the best.

lol, seriously considered voting for Tales but seeing how all 3 songs from Close to the Edge are definitive Yes classics, couldn't make myself not vote it

I'm slightly more concerned about 'Union'!!

btw, I've gone for 'Going For The One' this time...I know its not up there with CTTE & Relayer, but I must admit I just LOVE it very much, and it only had 3 votes...
