Hard for me to decide between the three . . . or between almost any Yes albums really.  I rate them all 10/10.

All of them have some really favourite tracks for me, as well as some songs I don't really care about, and songs I rather dislike. I guess it's mostly a choice between "Gates of Delirium" and "Awaken". I think I give a slight edge to "Awaken", plus Going for the One also has "Turn of the Century", so it should be that album.

Drama easily, the only Yes album that rivals that one for me is Fragile

Never got Relayer's huge fan-base.  GFtO is very, very good, but that's all. 

It's Drama.

Haven't heard all of Drama, but Going For The One is a forgettable speck in comparison to Relayer. Yes' most lifeless 70's album in comparison to their most vivid, creative, and intense. Might as well ask whether I want to eat steak or paper.

GFTO is probably my favourite Yes album.

Relayer is very good, Drama has its moments.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I am one of the few who wished Moraz had stayed.  The anti prog back lash had begun by 'GTTO' and Yes were slowly responding to it but it does contain the mighty 'Awaken'.  'Drama' pales in comparison...

never understood that sentiment any more than the love for the album... the album was a Squire-Howe album..thus being so guitar centric and less about keyboards than any album previous.. or future for that matter. Thus the sentiment out there.. which I do agree with that Relayer was the most Un-Yes album they ever did.  Moraz was brought in which all those songs pretty well fleshed out.. sure he shined on the live performance side but Relayer the album really had little to do with Moraz.  When it came time to work with him in constructing a new album... he was out on his ass..

It's between "Relayer and "Going For The One". Never really cared for "Drama".

Indeed, Moraz was never allowed to realise his potential with the group.  He was given the chance to shine on 'Sound Chaser' on the album as well as the live stuff.

he was a damn fine player... no one doubts that.. but one could question whether he brought anything else to the table. Perhaps that was reason one why they canned him in the midst of trying to do a new album. It isn't exactly like one can point to anything of his and say...  wow. 

Even Tony f**king Banks Angry and Moraz could play circles around him... gave us the immortal keyboard awesomeness The Cinema Show.

Relayer is electronic masterpiece---so overall the way it flows---Relayer by a hair--then GFTO is brilliant and Drama I can take or leave. It's good but not great.
