I think Gates of Delirium is just about the peak of Yes (prefer the Yesshows version though). Good as album as Fragile is, it can't compete with Gates IMHO.

Tough one, really.
Fragile is a superb album, Heart of the Sunrise is a perfect song, but Gates of Delirium is my favourite Yes song.

Favourite: Gates of Delirium
Best: Probably Fragile

Gates of Delirium. Fragile is a fine album, but that incarnation of Yes went on to greater things with CTTE. Relayer always leaves me wondering what the Moraz line up could have achieved if they'd made another album, though that would probably have meant no GFTO and Awaken is my all time favourite Yes epic.

Gates of delirium is my favorite piece of music. It could only be beaten by Close to the edge (the album) when it comes to Yes.


...still this is kinda stupid

Fragile wins.  I personally am not that fond of Heart of the Sunrise (it loses to the Soon section of Gates) and Long Distance Runaround isn't quite up to Gates either, but Roundabout and South Side of the Sky pull Fragile ahead.  BTW, I don't count Mood for a Day.  That's a Steve track.  But I find all of the solo tracks (except for Rick's) to be very good.
