Solid list! Tempus Fugit was a personal favorite at first listen (dat bass line!), but it really does get better with time (pun intended?!) Clap

10. Owner of a Lonely Heart (90125)
9. I'm Running (Big Generator)
8. To Be Over (Relayer) 
7. I've Seen All Good People / Your Move (The Yes Album)
6. Madrigal (Tormato)
5. Gates of Delirium (Relayer)
4. Starship Troopers (The Yes Album)
3. Roundabout (Fragile)
2. Heart of the Sunrise (Fragile)
1. Close to the Edge (Close to the Edge)

I included more 80's yes than most people might because I'm a huge fan of Prog, as well as the cheesiest 80's pop, so with the change that 90125 brought was well recieved by me. I also believe that Madrigal deserves much much much more attention than it gets. It is probably the closest thing to a perfected song and the lyrics are beautiful! My other picks aren't that controversial.

I realize these aren't all of the best Yes songs, but these are just some of the ones I have connected the most with. I understand that it's obvious that I love Fragile and Close To The Edge.

No order:

Endless Dream
Starship Trooper
Heart of the Sunrise
Awaken
Gates of Delirium
Holy Lamb
Ritual
Close to the Edge
South side of the sky
Perpetual Change


I suppose "holy lamb" is a bit of a wild card. With that in mind you could replace it with one of these(honorable mentions):

And you and I
Homeworld: the ladder
Hearts
The Revealing Science of God
On the Silent wings of Freedom

Weird how so many people don't pick anything after 1980. Is that an age thing or a prog thing? There is definitely stuff after Drama I consider prog but maybe most of you think most of that is weak(or relatively weak)?

I haven't made my Top 10 YES selections yet, but I'm pretty sure all 10 choices are going to be from the 1970's. I'm not sure whether it's a prog thing or an age thing with me, but I'm 60 years old if that's any help. Smile

Well, I can't imagine many people over say 55 choosing owner of a lonely heart or even endless dream to be in their top ten. I definitely feel age has something to do with taste and choices. There's always exceptions of course. I know not all older(as in into them in the 70's)fans hate owner of a lonely heart and the later stuff in general but a lot sure do(and I would even say most).

^^ I like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" too, but I wouldn't choose it as one of my Top 10 YES songs.
