Oh! Classic Gauss' curve! So, I'll go with a mob - Close to the Edge followed closely by Fragile.

By the way, I'm surprised by relative many votes for Tales - actually I consider it as the weakest from this ten.

Yes Album by far, i don't think it is their ultimate best but it is my favorite and has most of my favorite Yes songs.

Going For The One, an incredibly produced and brilliantly atmospheric album. A true masterpiece, it also features the greatest prog track of all time, the wonderful Awaken.

Tormato is really weak, but not as boring as long-winded Tales...

I agree. Tales is a stroke of genius. It is my personal favourite.

I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

I strongly disagree. I looooove a prog album that takes it's time.

Relayer is my favourite...all 3 songs are perfection. "Gates..." is like an angry CttE on steroids. "To Be Over" is an emotional tour de force accompanied by steel guitar. "Sound Chaser" is just musical insanity Wacko

Relayer for sure. CTTE is a rare case of an album that deserves 5 stars but is still grotesquely overrated. Every other album is 4 or lower to me.
