1) the first two albums
2) Tales from Topographic Oceans
3) Union
4) Open your Eyes through Magnification
5) Everything after Fly From Here.

I'm scattered all over the place, with favorites at different points: Yes, Close to the Edge, Drama, 90125. Other than Time and a Word also, I really don't like the others, and/or am long burnt out on them, having listened since the 70's. Those though stand up well to the test of time (to me at least).

Fan of their golden years (up to GfTO) with some very good surprises after (The long tracks of KtA I and II, Some tracks of The Ladder)

Nothing after Close to the Edge
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Not even Yessongs? Not an Alan White fan I guess.

Other for me.

Everything through Magnification gets my attention.
The run of greatness for me is TYA through GFTO.

After that, highlights are Drama, Keystudio, and The Ladder.
From Heaven and Earth on, they have effectively lost me, but Mirror to the Sky is a step in the right direction. But that gets very few listens.

I can subscribe to that and very well summed up Thumbs Up

I actually, genuinely, enjoy 90125. It's a great new-wavish album.

Other-I am a huge fan of The Yes Album and Fragile, but find other releases don't match those two; those are the only two i listen to, though I have heard most of the others....

Fragile is their masterpiece IMO. CTTE is a bit overrated as it eventually gets boring after listening to it for the 20th times (which in itself shows how great this song is).

Fragile on the other hand is a bit more intricate, less redundant and more consistent (while the other songs on CTTE, not to say they are bad, are pretty much fillers, let's be honest).

I like Yes, but they're not among my top 10 artists. Musically I appreciate their importance for Prog in general, I simply don't enjoy listening to them as much as I do other artists. The same goes for Genesis.

Let's be honest?! LOL
I think CTTE is one of Yes's best albums. It's Fragile I struggle with... LOL Sorry to mention it again. Embarrassed

It has very little to do with 'New Wave' IMO. Rush were a lot closer at the time. Yes were into 'ploddy' mode already aside from Cinema. That would almost be another entry for the thread about albums you dislike apart from one song that you love (although I also quite like Leave It so it doesn't quite qualify in my world).
