Yes, Yes is included, it is an apples and oranges poll, or should that be tormatoes and bububerries? *ducks rotten tormatoes and rancid bububerries* Anabelas has the higher average rating at PA, but Tormato has going on three times as many ratings, if you vote, which do you vote for? ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

Definitely Bubu. I don't hold it in as high esteem as most folks seem to, but its definitely much better than Tormato. ------------- 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. |

Anabelas. Not the slightest sign of contest. -------------

I’m one of those who actually quite likes Tormato, possibly even putting it in my Yes top five. But Bubu slaughters it in a direct competition. I suspect most people that vote for Yes in this poll simply haven’t heard the Bubu album. (I said most - not all!) ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

I also like Tormato, not as much as most of its predecessors but it's still a good album. I haven't heard the Bubu album so will listen to it now before voting.

Bubu gets the vote here. Tormato is a weak uneven album, the highs are really high and the lows are really low...

Anabelas hands down. A genuine masterpiece of progressive rock vs a somewhat tepid album from Yes that sports a horrendous production making the tracks seem even more flat. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Like both, but prefer Tormato. Maybe because Bubu puts sophistication above music (this is a question I ask myself to find a possible explanation... It's not answered yet)? ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

What a mismatch! Bubu is one of masterpieces of this genre, Tormato probably doesn't make the top ten albums released in September 1978. ------------- Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to. http://bandcamp.com/jpillbox" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp Profile |

| The Bubu album is not really my thing, so Tormato it is. |

| Anabelas, rather surprisingly for a Yes fan. I heard the Bubu album for the first time recently on the Prog Line channel. |

I mean, I still like Tormato.... but Bubu takes this, and it's not particularily close. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

Like both, but Bubu gets it by a large margin. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

| Anabelas was a superior effort, and Tormato was the great disappointment of the first era of the group. |

What is the purpose to ask prog afficionados chose between a worldly prog issued LP (Yes) and a much ( or strictly) confidential one ( Bubu). ? |

| I can't vote yet, but I'd go with Bubu. Tormato is alright though, there's songs I enjoy. |

Tormato's opener is pretty good, other than that it falls off a cliff, into the ocean and kills a whale ------------- I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat myself when under stress, I repeat... |

As a huge Yes fan who's introduction to Prog was their music and who devoured everything that had released up to Magnification obsessively for a year straight ... Bubu, definitely.
