This is the closest match I've ever seen to my Top 7, although there are one or two significant differences. Wink

The Yes Album is my personal favorite but I think CTTE is the pinnacle of their playing and songwriting.

I'm with the majority, Close To The Edge. Then Relayer in the second place and and Tales From Topographic Oceans in the third.

Voted for Yessongs, I find them much warmer and more emotional live. Also it has (almost) all the good stuff.

^ At least we both agree on Going for the One being a favourite YES album, even if we totally disagree on The Quest  album. Smile

Going for the One. Still absolutely love that album.

Relayer would have been the other option had Gates been the entire album. As it is, I never did enjoy the second side a great deal, and age hasn’t changed my mind. Heresy, I know, but there we go.

All of them are great, though, a magnificent cultural legacy. I still love Tormato.

Having said that, quite how on Earth anyone could nominate The Quest as better than any of these classics is utterly beyond me. Almost as unbelievable as admitting to admiring Johnson’s wit and wisdom. One despairs sometimes!
