I still rather like the original FFH suite. Certainly, it is a towering masterpiece compared to the rest of this dross.

EDIT. Am I correct that the Yes 50 quoted here at The Apollo is, in fact, ARW? If so, I would have voted for that. It was a great tour.

Yes, you're quite correct. Yes 50: Live at the Apollo is indeed Anderson Rabin Wakeman. Thumbs Up

That's good to know, so with your vote and my vote and one anonymous vote combined, at least The Quest has come second in the poll, against expectations. Smile

The Quest coming in second confirms what I have always thought--Billy Sherwood and his  entire extended  family are all members on here.LOL

^If that was true, then why wouldn't Open Your Eyes have won the 90s poll?

I wasn't mocking. I genuinely thought H&E was your favourite Yes album (until The Quest came along) yet you have ranked at least 2 others above it.

Strange results. No way is FFH a more popular album than Relayer and The Yes Album amongst Yes fans.

It just goes to show how you can use statistics to prove anything, even when it flies from here in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. For instance, who would've thought The Quest (with 6 votes) would turn out to be more popular than Fragile (with 5 votes). Wink

^ incorrect compiling of results, those albums got that many votes in the context of their polls. Make a poll with all of them and the results will be completely different.

It's not a big enough sample to prove much, you only need to look at the PA Top 100 on the home page to see a more realistic ranking -

1) Close To The Edge
11) Fragile
19) Relayer
35) The Yes Album

Strangely enough no sign of The Quest or H&E!
