I gave my vote to KC, even though CTTE and Fragile are easily my favorite out of all KC and Yes albums combined.

A bit easier than Genesis vs KC.

KC easily, Yes are fantastic in their heyday but I never listen to anything they did after 91025, with KC even their weaker stuff is interesting to listen to in some way.
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,

Well, for me "Epitaph" is one of the most emotional songs I have ever heard, I really love that one. And Starless isn't bad on an emotional level either (specially live, played with violin... and that ending!!!). Even Exiles is pretty emotional for me, and Lizard (at least the Prince Ruppert Awakes and Bolero sections).

Edit: I just found out I had already made just about the same comment a few pages earlier

As for the Awaken question, I'm pretty sure if you made a poll of Starless vs Awaken, Starless would win by a wide margin (though I'm not sure which would I vote for myself... I guess Awaken). As for the "In the Court" question, I'm pretty sure if you made a poll comparing it to the "Close to the Edge" album , CttE would win by a significan margin. I guess I would vote for it.

Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
In the case of Yes:Close To The Edge can match that overrated and overhyped album known as "In The Court"

Only in your opinion, I'd rank LTiA, Red, ITCOTCK, Lizard, Islands, Discipline & TPTB all ahead of Tales.

Actually, I may agree with "The Power to Believe"; the other three you underlined I certainly wouldn't put over Topographic. Also I would easily put the debut over Topographic, but the other two albums I would think it twice before doing so.
