Ritual = GoD=CTTE
 
I voted Ritual as I guess it will get less votes than those other two.

Close To The Edge cause it's the most memorable for me. I like all the epics but personally my favorite Yes is from the pre-CTTE era, specifically The Yes Album.

This is always tough for me. CTTE and Gates of Delirium are 2 of my all time favorites. Choose CTTE ever-so-slightly over Gates, but tomorrow I might say Gates. Both are great.

Voting with the plurality ... hard to match the musical accomplishment and the sheer beauty of CTTE.

I voted for The Revealing Science of God - it deserves some love.
 
Normally it would be a fight between Gates and CTTE.
 
But just looking at the tracks listed - mouth-watering!

Yes has the best epics of any band in history.  CTTE, Revealing Science of God, and Gates of Delirium are all 5 star songs.  CTTE wins by a hair.

Close to the Edge for me, although I wonder why the Keys to Ascension epics aren't included on here.
