Pretty fantastic live album next to their acoustic set that you can find on Youtube.

It would have to be The Yes Album or Yessongs.

as an album "close to the edge" for sure. but i also realized one day that i learned over half of fragile on bass, and im not even a bass player, so i must like the individual songs better on that. tales from topographic oceans has the best artwork

Fragile was the last of the true Yes albums. The rest were basically cover bands.

I actually find Fragile to be very bland compared to the albums that came after it, especially when they released the masterpiece of Close To The Edge after it.

Fragile. Obvioulsy the noodling **** is a waste of space and that Tell the moon in the mooon or w/e it is one is annoying...last time i put it on it took me about a month to get it out of my head but the four main songs are brilliant esp. Roundabout and Heart of the sunrise. Kinda album I'd like to have on while killing myself with an overdose of heroin. A band who's songs I like to listen to on a one or two off basis rather than putting on a whole album plus as I understand it Close to the edge, the song and the entirety of Tales are about religion and I hate religion sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooo much so that spoils it a bit. Why can't somone make a concept album about living in a bedsit in the red-light area of a ill spoken of Northern English town...something I can related to.

Funny thing is 'reasonably impressive' is a very Yes kinda thing to say. Like a polytechnic proff Yes fan from the 70's would describe something.
