I voted for Fragile, with The Yes Album as runner up. Close to the Edge and TFTO would tie for third.

It's never too late. Maybe, you should check out a concert on DVD, I find videos of concert more exciting then live albums, but generally I like live performances it shows another side to a song, it's like an alterantive take to a song. Recorded music is supposed to mimic a live performance. Of course some are too complex to do live in a way. But the great thing about Yes is they can do a live show without drawing in extra musicians, like a lot of bands do, and still reproduce the same excitement on thier albums.
My choice is
Yes - Live in Philadelphia (1979) when they played the Spectrum in Philadelphia that is a classic.
