I like Tales from Topographic Oceans too, even though I haven't yet got around to buying the album, mainly because you never see YES albums at charity shops or car boot sales. The way Rick Wakeman describes TFTO though, it's more like Tales from Soporific Oceans. Smile

Such a perfect writeup! Except that Genesis were never bigger than Camel and Renaissance for me.
Same here. I'd never even listened to a Genesis album before going online in 2010, but I bought nearly every album by Camel and Renaissance in the 1970's. Embarrassed

The tough choice here is between ELP and Genesis - I went with the latter purely because of 'first love' - a magical album I first heard when I was 12.  Very marginal...
