In order:
Grey and pink 8.5/10(9/10 including frozen rose)
1001 degrees 8.5/10
The yes album 8.5/10
Fragile 8.5/10
Aqualung 7.5/10(9/10 including disc two 40 years)
Pawn hearts 7/10
Nursery cryme 6.5/10
If side 2 of aqualung used the quad versions, the album would have got an 8/10 even without disc 2. I love graaf from 1975-78 and h to he but pawn hearts bores me a bit after the great beginning and end. Not much good melody in between. 1001 is great even with the crazy vocals, yes we're strong. Don't know how frozen rose can miss the grey and pink album. Great track. Best song on nursery is hogweed, then salmacis and absent but the rest are plain.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Fragile for me. Along Close to the Edge, the only Yes album I would rate 5 stars. It's all incredibly great (oh well, perhaps some of the solo pieces not so much, but they are so short it doesn't really matter).

I love Nursery Cryme and Fragile, but they're far from the best of either respective group. VDGG was at their peak with Pawn Hearts imo, so it gets my vote.

Fragile. Am I the only person on PA who really enjoys the solo bits? I think they are clever & innovative, i.e. "progressive."
I also think it is very significant, as the single "Roundabout" broke the glass ceiling for Yes and prog in general in a very big way stateside. I prefer some of the songs on "The Yes Album" but I don't think it got much radio airplay in the states.

Regardless of how "progressive" they are, I don't like listening to any of them. Maybe a We Are Heaven as a intro to South Side but that's it.

Damn, We Have Heaven is sooo annoying. And I hate it even more when it comes after Heart of the Sunrise.
