3) Red -------------------------------------------------------Five stars (just published my review: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2239804 )

I guess only these three (plus, maybe Animals or Wish You Were) could enter in my personal top 20.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Animals? -------------------------------------------------Four/Five stars?
5) Close to the Edge --------------------------------------Four and a half stars
6) Wish You Were Here? ---------------------------------Four/Five stars?
7) Foxtrot ---------------------------------------------------Four and a half stars
8) Larks Tongues in Aspic --------------------------------Four and a half stars
9) Godbluff --------------------------------------------------Four stars
10) Per un Amico? -----------------------------------------Four stars?
11) Dark Side of the Moon? ------------------------------Four stars?
12) Selling England By The Pound ----------------------Four stars
13) Fragile --------------------------------------------------Four stars
14) From Silence to Somewhere ------------------------Four stars
15) Relayer? ------------------------------------------------Four stars?
16) Moving Pictures? --------------------------------------Four stars?
17) Mirage? -------------------------------------------------Three/Four stars?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
18) Thick As A Brick ---------------------------------------Three stars
19) Moonmadness?  ---------------------------------------Three/Four stars?
20) Nursery Crime -----------------------------------------Three stars




Now I can re-arrange the top 10:

1) In The Court Of... --------------------------------------Five stars 9,5/10
2) Red -------------------------------------------------------Five stars 9+/10
3) Wish You Were Here ---------------------------------Five stars 9+/10
4) Godbluff --------------------------------------------------Five stars 9/10
-------------------------------
5) Close to the Edge --------------------------------------Four and a half stars 9-/10
6) Dark Side of the Moon ------------------------------Four and a half stars 9-/10
7) Foxtrot ---------------------------------------------------Four and a half stars 9-/10
8) Selling England By The Pound ----------------------Four stars 8,5/10
9) Animals---------------------------------------------------Four stars 8,5/10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Thick As A Brick ---------------------------------------Three stars 8-/10

 


Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

^  ahh....  I think you are confusing threads. This is a reordering of the sites top 20.. not a list of our own...for which many of us have very few of those albums upon.

Weird because I could have sworn I read that either CTTE or Topographic was your favorite album of all time or even favorite Yes album. I'm pretty sure it was one of the two. I admit I would find it strange if you thought tales was your favorite yes record above fragile and CTTE although I have heard others say tales was their favorite as well.

If they aren't top 20 they are close.  The rest, hmm, maybe 1 or 2 in my top 100 - possibly Close to the Edge and SEBTP, but possibly not


Happy to see Moonmadness among those :) what an album!

^Nice to see I'm not the only one who is fundamentally wrong .

I love being fundamentally wrong. (I think it's my middle name.) Plus, I absolutely despise, hate, cannot tolerate, and feel nothing accessible in Larks Tongues in Aspic. I feel nothing, find nothing appreciable in the musicianship, collaboration, or composition. It's pure noise, fingers scratching across blackboards, metal tail pipes dragging down the road. Rubbish, trash, dissonant dissonance, white noise, black noise, noise. I prefer elevator music and Barry Manilow. And this is a band with my favorite drummer of all-time!
