| Definitely Time and a Word, but I do enjoy From Genesis to Revelation. |

From Genesis to Revelation has really grown on me in recent years, but Time and a Word is a more complete album with some cracking songs on, even though it was the next album that they really got it right. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

| A not so impressive start for two very impressive bands. I guess I'll go for both, though not really impressed by them, but I cannot say I dislike them either. |

Neither. I'd go with Tull's debut This Was over those two albums. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| Time and a Word, it´s my personal Yes favourite among the Yes Album and Fragile. Revelation is nice album, but nothing more. |

nice to see someone who appreciates early Yes, you'd be surprised how many ignore the Banks albums. A shame if you ask me.

I think both first album and Time and a Word are much better than any Yes-album after Going For the One.

[I think both first album and Time and a Word are much better than any Yes-album after Going For the One.] Not sure I would go that far since I really like Talk, the Ladder, Big Generator and Magnification but I agree the first two are very under rated especially T&a W.

I really don’t like either album, but I voted for Time and A Word as I felt it was more accomplished than From Genesis to Revelation, but not by much. I’m huge Genesis fan, so it pained me to pick Yes over them, but here I just had to vote with my gut. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

TAAW is the superior album but then they had made one album before that, whereas Genesis hadn't. |

Could never understand why From Genesis to Revelation was hated amongst Genesis fans. Specially comparing albums after Steve Hackett left the band, always leaves me confused. I've always liked this album from day one. In my top 7 albums from the Genesis era with Gabriel and Hackett in the band. Some of Genesis later stuff has mixed feelings with me and can he a hit or miss..

That’s certainly a minority view. I don’t understand why you can’t understand that listeners don’t think much of From Genesis to Revelation? Their next album Trespass was so much more accomplished and individual. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

I agree Trespass was a better album... But comparing with their later stuff was my point here with only Tony Banks, Phill Collins and Mike Rutherford steering the band forward.

But the point of the thread was what album do you believe is a better debut and Yes wins for me hands down. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

Time and a Word is not a debut album, it's Yes's second one. So a fair poll would be TaaW vs Trespass. :)

| The first time I heard FGTR it really freaked me out. I just wasn't expecting it to sound like that at all. I think other than Foxtrot I hadn't heard any other early Genesis at that point. I was even almost "scared" to listen to Trespass because of it. When I finally heard Trespass I thought it was kind of weird and dark but not as wacked out as FGTR. I didn't have any similar experience with early Yes. |

Both Yes (1969) and Time and a Word are much better than FGtR. TaaW vs Trespass is a fairer bout. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

TaaW. Hands down. Honestly one of their most underrated albums. ------------- I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!) Check out my music on https://tempestsounds.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - my bandcamp ! |

Time and a Word is the better album in my opinion. It gets my vote ------------- “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” ― George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four "Ignorance and Prejudice and Fear walk Hand in Hand"- Neil Peart |

I dig both, but went with Genesis, only because it has that 60's vibe! ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

No contest. TAAW is listenable, FGTR is not. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
