I would have to put Fragile and the Yes album in there too but Tales would be right after those for me which I guess makes it number five for me. GFTO would be right behind it.

Great story and great site! (I came upon it only very recently; unbelievable quality and depth of articles) Half way through the story and enjoying it, thanks!

I know the story of how it happened. Tales has a special place in my heart. Anderson Howe were an amazing team --too bad they hate each other now.

Ask me a month ago and I would have agreed, tales really kinda clicked for me the last couple times I listened. They're all essentials though

My favorite album ever and that's why the Howe/Anderson rift hurts me so much.

I know a guy who liked the album so much he went out and bought the book that inspired it(autobiography of a Yogi)and read it but hated it(too woo woo for him I guess). I suppose he will always still like the music though. Lol.

saw this and was a good read...
and major truth right at the end. but I think, given time, it reveals itself as perhaps their greatest musical statement of all. It’s pure hardcore Yes!”

Couldn't agree more. My favorite followed by Relayer, then Close To The Edge.

word! I do call it the epitome of prog.. the peak of prog.. the peak of everything that prog set out to do to rock music and it wasn't because I was smoking dope (not till retirement man) or banging down the Jamo (woo hooo!). it only takes half of an objective mind to see it. it is.. and without any serious non fanboy debate in my mind... the highest musical and artistic expression not just of the group... but of the whole damn genre. No one has even really attempted to do what they did on this album.. much less equal it ... to say nothing of topping it.

Well trying to read that was almost as much 'fun' as listening to the album. Never been a great fan of double albums , the only one I really like is Aphrodite's Child -666 and most of Lamb is great apart from the usual annoying 15 minutes that is not so good that seems to litter most doubles . Perhaps Tales could have been called Jumping The Shark instead? Bah Humbug.

I still find it amazing that TfTO, which I’ve never understood or appreciated, was produced between Close to the Edge and Relayer, probably my two favorite prog albums ever.
