Time and a Word is not a debut album, it's Yes's second one. So a fair poll would be TaaW vs Trespass. :)

The first time I heard FGTR it really freaked me out. I just wasn't expecting it to sound like that at all. I think other than Foxtrot I hadn't heard any other early Genesis at that point. I was even almost "scared" to listen to Trespass because of it. When I finally heard Trespass I thought it was kind of weird and dark but not as wacked out as FGTR. I didn't have any similar experience with early Yes.

Both Yes (1969) and Time and a Word are much better than FGtR.
TaaW vs Trespass is a fairer bout.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

TaaW. Hands down. Honestly one of their most underrated albums.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Not sure I would go that far since I really like Talk, the Ladder, Big Generator and Magnification but I agree the first two are very under rated especially T&a W. 
I really love also Big Generator & Magnification, Talk & Ladder are also ok, but really I put forward those two innocent first steps in becoming prog with great analog sounding!

Could never understand why From Genesis to Revelation  was hated amongst Genesis fans.   Specially comparing albums after Steve Hackett left the band,  always leaves me confused.   I've always liked this album from day one.  In my top 7 albums from the Genesis era with Gabriel and Hackett in the band.   

Some of Genesis later stuff has mixed feelings with me and can he a hit or miss..  

That’s certainly a minority view. I don’t understand why you can’t understand that listeners don’t think much of From Genesis to Revelation? Their next album Trespass was so much more accomplished and individual.

I agree Trespass was a better album...  But comparing with their later stuff was my point here with only Tony Banks, Phill Collins and Mike Rutherford steering the band forward.  

But the point of the thread was what album do you believe is a better debut and Yes wins for me hands down.
Actually Time and a Word is not Yes-debut. Maybe if the both bands debuts have been in this poll, it would have been more interested. Anyway I would have still voted Yes.

Time and a Word is the better album in my opinion. It gets my vote

I dig both, but went with Genesis, only because it has that 60's vibe!

No contest. TAAW is listenable, FGTR is not.
