A disappointment after 90125 and also the worst album of Yes, although I can't vote twice, so I went for the first option. Smile

I find it amazing that a band that could produce masterpieces like The Yes Album and Relayer could then produce an utter train wreck like Big Generator.

Although I rate Big Generator as the worst Yes album, I still listen to it occasionally.
 
By the way, Talk and Fly from Here are two of my favourite Yes albums. Smile

I've seen worse in the 80s - Genesis' Abacab & Invisible Touch, Renaissance in the 80s was much worse, Moody Blues was too poppy, Jethro Tull did Under Wraps, Germans Jane and Grobschnitt were unrecognizably bad, to put it gently and so on. 

I've always liked Big Generator. Not as good as 90125, but enjoyable.

I'm definitely in agreement with you about the low point of Genesis' Abacab & Invisible Touch albums, and Renaissance were probably worse than Genesis in the 80's too. Smile

Very underrated album. BG was the first tour I saw for them so it's a bit special for me for that reason if no other. Option number one for me.

Why on earth would you vote for the first option if you hate it and think it's the worst Yes album? That's makes no sense. Confused

I don't hate the Big Generator album. The worst Yes album is still better than the best Marillion album. Smile

I agree Open Your Eyes is their worst.

Not bad, but not good either. It has its moments.
