CttE would win against almost any album, it doesn't need help putting it against such obvious weaker albums.

I think it's ridiculous that anyone seriously rates 90125 above CTTE.

It’s quite obvious that Close to the Edge is going to take this one. The others, except for Open Your Eyes, are quite good too.

No contest here. I sent some love to Union, who usually doesn't get much of it.

CTTE obviously, but I would actually include 90125 in my Yes top 5.

Close to the Edge is completely out of place in this poll, since it's obviously the winner. So I decided to ignore it, like the other 10 people who voted before me, and my vote goes to Union.

Contrary to popular preference, I have always loved Union, a hair or two more than 90125. Union is a little "rockier" than the "poppier" 90125. And I grew up during the 90s, so I tend to prefer that too.

Pick one and consider it what? Best? Worst? Unnecessary?

I would've voted for The Quest if it had been included, but their classic 1972 album comes Close to the Edge of being almost as good. Smile

Union isn't nearly as terrible as most make it out to be and of course 90125 is a great pop rock album that a lot of older Yes fans unnecessarily poop on, however, neither is as good as close to the edge and other than as a joke I can't understand why anyone would vote for anything other than close to the edge.
