5. Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe
6. Drama
7. Big Generator (a very overrated album in my opinion) Tongue

How is Big Generator overrated? LOL it's got 2.55 | 1228 ratings | 114 reviews on PA. 


Well, at least The Quest is rated higher on 2.95, although that could have something to do with the fact that I just gave The Quest a five star rating. Tongue

the rating will go down the more people will listen to the album. 

I wonder how much fanboyism is behind the 5 star ratings and rating abuse.

^ I'm sure The Quest will win easily in the fifth and final YES albums poll. After all, there isn't a whole lot of competition between YES albums in the years 2011 to 2021. Tongue

sorry, but after Magnification, Yes did not produce much interesting music. I hope you put a "none of them" option, I would choose that.

Why would you even need a "none of them" option when you can simply choose not to vote? Smile

Drama gets the nod, followed by ABWH.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

The other day there was an odd patch of 'shrooms growing in my yard. Went out the next day and saw that something had scarfed down several of them.

Now I know who did it.

Voted for Drama, with ABWH probably second.

The live ABWH album wasn't released until 1993, so not sure how it fits into a 1980-1989 timeline (regardless of when the tour actually took place)?

There's plenty of Drama here at PA, but it's also a Big Generator of fun and frolics too - especially between me and Cristi. Tongue

I think maybe this was Yes' best decade. I know that will be controversial, but I struggle with their 70s output. Add in Trevor Rabin's brilliant Can't Look Away and there's a great set of albums here...

Drama is the best of this lot, but I like 90125 and ABWH. too.

But Drama is one of Yes's best, period. Squire and Howe tore it up.
