Sorry, I think that the change the world forum is what you are after.
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 voted for "The Yes Album," too.  I think it was the first Yes album, or even Prog album,
to show some of the more unique possibilities of this new blend of what skilled musicians could do,
who understood how to create some of the complexity of classical music and put it in a rock format.  
Sure, there was Emerson with the Nice and the Electric Prunes/Axelrod with the Mass in F
Minor, but there was a very strong harmonic innovation that occcured in The Yes Album.  It was
just light years ahead of everything else at the time in its innovative "cosmic" appeal,
and I really think that it created it's own branch of Prog, that can only be called Yes-inspired
prog.

Of course I wasn't serious, no need to be overly dramatic. It's a music related poll, not the "what is wrong with the world" forum, duh.

I was just trying to express that I think Yes Album is their best and I'm slightly surprised that two of their (in my opinion) not so great albums are just as or even more highly regarded here (I like plenty of long self-indulgent songs and instrumental passages, but Relayer and TFTO both fall on the wrong side of the equation to me in those aspects, too few ideas stretched out for far too long).

I have 4 top favourite YES albums so I can't vote.  'Fragile', 'Topographic', 'Relayer' and 'Drama'.  I just can't choose - perhaps Topographic but then that's not fair on the others........Head on wall

TFTO because it transcended anything that had been attempted before in Prog. It doesn't quite come off but I sure enjoyed the ride.

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.

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

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

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