I am surprised that Drama got so many votes.

Sorry, Catch...but nuh-uh! Drama has some of Yes' best material. "About as dull as it gets" is one helluva putdown. Sounds personal to me.

Clearly PG 3, even if Biko is maybe a slightly bloated conclusion; PG's album endings were much weaker than the albums as a whole until So.
I like Drama but I really think No Self Control is better than anything on that album by a very large margin. |

Both are great albums but I think Drama has aged better.

I went with Drama, I just think it is more fun to listen to than the PG, even though that album is indeed a great one.

Drama was stronger than I expected it to be, but I wouldn't put in the same league as Melt.

This one isn't close even though I like them both. PG III for the win!

I gave my vote to PG, making the score even.
That reflects my thoughts: I love them both, but for very different reasons. PG3 wins as a psychologically deep conceptual album whereas musically Drama gives me more. (Ie. I probably would have voted Yes if they had been one vote behind. 😀) |

An interesting poll considering the current outcome. I didn't think there was enough love in the room for the overbearing Yes entry, up against an obvious crowd favorite. An odd poll though, so I won't vote.

really good summation PG is a tough listen and takes no prisoners. Games Without Frontiers was a surprise top 5 hit in the UK garnering a lot of airplay so it may not be quite as far away from pop as people like to believe. Shock the Monkey and No Self Control were also played quite a bit on radio at the time while Biko is the best live singalong ever!. Its a very clever album but not as inaccessible as many would like to believe. My vote is Drama. I only put 3 other Yes albums clearly above it and was a return to form in my view. Some really sharp playing and Squire was never better than on Does It Really Happen? A vote for the prog album!

If by better album we mean a consistent, dependable cornucopia of quality rock, Drama wins. But if the content itself counts, the texture, innovations and sound design, Melt could be superior. |

I like both. And went with Melt as I find it a stronger album emotionally.
