I'm not allowed to vote until I have 100 posts - but if I could I would have been the first person to pick The Yes Album.

Fragile gets my vote - ambitious but still grounded.
Close to the Edge is great too, but I hardly like Tales at all. Gates of Delirium is good, and some moments on Going for the One, but for the most part I think Bill Bruford had the right idea when he jumped ship after CTTE.
Drama is really good, though.

Relayer closely followed by Topographic Oceans and then the Yes Album.

I only own four of these, so I won't vote - but out of those four I choose Close to the Edge. A masterpiece.

Close to the Edge - the moment when it all took off. Top-notch playing, sonata-ish form, a side-long track, and Rick Wakeman gets his organ out. The most interesting, exciting progressive rock piece. Ever.
Then they do it again with And You And I.
Then they top it off with Siberian Khatru - a rhythm you can't beat, wonderful counterpoint, and they even squeeze in a harpsichord solo. And none of this boring old Ukrainian or Azerbaijani khatru either. Siberian khatru. Turn round, glider!
What more could one want?

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.
