90125 for me, with ABWH a close second.

Drama will win it. It still does bugger all for me, though.

Presumably, it means Lazland dislikes the Drama album equally as much as you dislike the Heaven & Earth album. Tongue

Paul,    this poll needs a 'none of the above'  choice for those of us who think GFTO was the last decent lp they made.

There are many here who would disagree with you, bearing in mind how many votes the Drama album has picked up so far. Wink

what does "It still does bugger all for me, though" mean? 

English colloquialism, dear chap. It means it doesn’t float my boat. I don’t get that buzz 
and high from listening to it. I really do not like it.

True ,but then many here simply have bad taste in music......Tongue
Getting serious for a moment ,I think it would drop down quite a bit if the poll was for rating all of Yes lp's over the years and not just the 80's...but regarding the 80's it probably is the best...which tells the tale.

I was guessing that, but i still asked. 

I loved Drama instantly. 
I could never get into ABWH though, not years ago, not these days.

The only problem with putting all of the YES albums together in one poll (again) is most of the votes would go to the classic 70's albums, as per usual, and The Quest album would only get one vote at the most. Cry

there is no 90s equivalent for Drama. 
Yes, you're absolutely right! The Ladder (1999) and Talk (1994) are far superior to the Drama album. Big smile

I disagree. I find Drama more interesting (performance & songwriting that is) than both Ladder and Talk. 
Also Talk is better than Ladder IMO.

You're right about that. Almost everyone disagrees with me here, especially when it comes to rating YES albums. Tongue
