I have: Fragile, The Yes Album, Close To The Edge (Yuck! My friend recommended it to me), Relayer, and Yes. Fragile and Yes are their best, but Close To The Edge and Relayer aren't that good at all.

I think they helped shaped prog, and had great musicianship, but I dislike almost everything about Anderson...his annoying vocals and his superficial lyrics that try to be meaningful but sound like crap.

They weren't great for melodies either, relied on atmosphere too much for me which results in some plain boring songs. And I don't like symphonic progressive rock that much.
