I rank 90125 about as highly as Invisible Touch, which is not very high. Drama on the other hand is one of their better albums.

If you asked me 20 years ago I would have said Drama.  But after that I all in on 90125.  Both a quite good but I still will play 90125 but Drama never enters my mind when I want to listen to Yes anymore.

I thought few seconds to make it, but then noticed Tormato would absolutely win (I would have voted Open Your Eyes). I believe there are people who hate Open Your Eyes even never heard it.

I liked Beverly Hills 90210/90125/OU812 at the time, but don't tend to listen to it much these days.

Dude I was literally thinking of that exact Van Halen album earlier, and how I can NEVER REMEMBER the damn numbers, lmao.

Good to see so many votes for DramaWink

In a way both could be considered fake Yes. However, I voted for Drama because it's closer to my favorite kind of Yes. However, 90125 was the first one I bought and really paid attention to so it's kind of special to me. However, it's not really representative of what Yes was known for initially. I still like it but it's mostly a nostalgia thing for me these days(same with the first Asia album).

I know what you are saying---but voted for the album that has one of a kind genius (who can do anything) on guitar---Howe. Even if the music isn't 100% magic its always great to hear him play.

I love Steve Howe's guitar, from The Yes Album to Relayer, these are among my favorite guitar albums of all time, I love the feeling, the tone, but..... as a guitarist myself, I disagree he can do anything with guitar. On the other hand, especially in later period (80s and on..) he is quite tedious, not inventive anymore (he is obviously in it only for money), his live playing is often sloppy and generally he is stuck mostly in his Chet Atkins's (albeit upgraded) country-tinged guitar. He cannot play clear fast staccato or adjust himself for heavier styles. He is versatile in terms of changing plethora of different string instruments but not much in style range. Technically he is overrated imo, his parts are not difficult to master (although his tone and writing style in early period are still very unique).



Upgraded from Chet Atkins? Yikes! Chet was the man! It’s true though that if you’re a Steve Howe fan, you essentially dig country. You just may not realize it yet.      There is much common ground amongst Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler, Les Paul, Mary Ford, and Steve Howe. It’s not really the country music of today, which I’m sorry - I don’t really like much of it. But, Chet Atkins, Les Paul, and Mary Ford were huge trailblazers on guitar, and they blended numerous styles, including classical, bluegrass, jazz, folk, Spanish, etc. It was at times, a very complex version of country. There is a video of Les Paul and Chet Atkins trading licks on a talk show. Fast arpeggios and all sorts of fun. Chet could even pull off Recuerdos de la Alhambra in concert, which is an extremely difficult tremolo picking piece. Steve Howe was not an upgrade of Chet Atkins. Sheeeeesh. They might have come from a similar place, but (country music fans) each was great in his own way.

Yes! HUGE! Jerry Reed kicked ass, too! He was a beast. Chet was a monster, though, with that mind-blowing sweep-picking!
