Voted for Close to the Edge which I still regard as probably the finest prog album ever produced (even though Red comes close) Other classic albums by Yes would be The Yes Album as it defined the group and Yessongs one of the best live albums of all time. I found Fragile to be flawed and both Tales from Topographic Oceans and Relayer to be overblown but saying that I`ve not heard these last two albums in years so it might be time to give them another twirl.
I always liked Going for the One and thought it by far their best record in a period that contained both Tomato and Drama. I also liked 90125 as it was a complete change in direction towards a more pop-rock sound and in line with the times, rather like Rush were doing as highlighted by Grace Under Pressure (even though I think the Rush record had the edge) I didn`t think that Big Generator was as bad as people made out and found it far more enjoyable than either Union and Talk etc. Of the more recent stuff I can`t comment as I haven`t heard them
