We Can't Dance is probably the only album from there I listen with pleasure, it's such a fine pop rock album.

Tormato, which is a fantastic album for me. I have no idea why it's rated so low...

Tormato and Union. I know that Yes members don't like The Union album because the way it was produce, but personnally, i like the sounds and almost every songs . I must like Yes very much...

Tormato and Abacab. The last one if it wasn't for Who Dunnit is just an average pop record IMO. And it has 2 great moments with Dodo and the title track. I'll go with Tormato on this one though.

We Can't Dance ain't that bad! No Son Of Mine, Jesus He Knows, I Can't Dance and Hold On My Heart are solid pop tunes!
Driving The Last Spike and Fading Lights are suppose to be progressive but I never really understood their appeal, oh well... Jesus he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life! LOL

Tormato, Abacab, and Union.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I went with Tormato, i've never heard anyone say it was terrible, also what was St Anger doing on a prog forum?

I was so hoping to see Merci on the list.  No vote.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

These all pretty much suck, but We Can't Dance is easily the best. It's the only post-Duke Genesis album that I can listen to without regurgitating my dinner.

Under Wraps is a good album beneath that somewhat challenging production.  In my opinion their best post mid-70s work (ducking the tomatoesLOL)

It came down to Abacab or Under Wraps, and I ended up going with the latter. I agree with Finnforest, this album really has some great songs, the problem was the production which was a product of the era.

There are many albums I don't know here, but from the ones I know I guess I like Union better. Shock to the System and The More we Live Let Go are among my favourite Yes songs. I Would Have Waited Forever is pretty cool too. The rest of the album isn't very good, but just because of these 3 songs I Must have it.
