I like Brian Salad Surgery, and I have never been able to get into Tales. For some reason I just ahd to vote for Tales here, it just seems to be the most pompus, over the top, and hard to get into album ever!

Looks like neither of us will ever get over that result, eh? Wink

I'm just as upset that Camel managed to crush Magma as well. Cry

I need to make another one of these days. One where the better bands actually beat out the second tier ones like they're supposed to. And hopefully have some good upsets. Evil%20Smile

Hence the veracity of "Still...You Turn Me On..." Wink
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

This is very tough for me. I went with Brain Salad Surgery since it had less votes only.

BSS. If you got to see this tour Emerson's modular moog sprouted wings. Rotating drum sets, grand pianos spining in midair. Those that missed ELP @ Cal Jam missed a show of ages.

BSS from preference. Tales from objectivity, methinks. Not a lot of songwriting involved in Tales, and Still... You Turn Me On is simply perfect.

Tales by miles! Disc 1 is a classic, one of Yes's best albums(CD's). While Disc 2 is quite as messy as the whole BSS, it has Nous Sommes Du Soleil which has one of the best bass playing I've ever heard(now comes a joke from someone).

BSS has Karn Evil 9 1st Impression, which is quite extravagant and head aching at times, but I must admit Keith playing is AMAZING. Though the rest meh and somewhat awful except the catchty Still you Turn Me On, which I love

Tales again for me.When I first listened to ELP I found it great but 2 or 3 months later I was no longer
interested in playing their records.They're very good musicians but I didn't get into their universe.On the
contrary Yes'style is all on accord with my dreams,mind and world.
I was born in the land of Mahavishnu,not so far from Kobaia.I'm looking for the world

of searchers with the help from

Brain Salad - Tales are not the best Yes album, whereas Brain Salad is an outstanding prog classic
yet you still have time!

Just about any album would be Tales... so BSS. At least I can sit through it (not that I ever want to).
