Drama was a Yes album just as much as GTFO.

I think it a cynical move not calling it a Yes album. I like the first 10 Yes albums, I know Drama had fewer notable players that were on previous albums, but it had Steve Howe who (with so much personnel changes) basically defined the Yes sound in the 70s. You said you weren't Yes fan so I don't know how much those musicians mean to you or know the continuity between the older material and Drama. I thought Drama was more of a Yes album than 90120. I despise that album, on that album Chris Squire hand over the reins over to Trevor Rabin, and it was nothing but insipid 80s junk Pop.
