Relayer.  The other two have their moments though.

I do like all three, but I enjoy Relayer quite a bit more.

Relayer over 'One for sheer creativity, but the latter holds a very dear position in my heart. Including Drama into the match up is a tad silly. It was somewhat of an odd, unsettling hybrid of Yes that thankfully fizzled out in a timely manner.

This is sooooo difficult - as much as I worship Relayer, I think I'll vote for Drama, coz that is an instant Desert Island record for me. YES have a few great albums I rate as a 5, but Drama is something 'special' for me.

Relayer it is. Not too fond of the others although Awaken is great (maybe except for it's plastic production...which all of GFTO suffers from imo).

Obviously I recognize in Relayer a masterpiece and consider Drama a underrated album ( mainly at the time of release ), However, Going for the One is one of my favorite albums in Yes discography !

Decided to Go For the One because although I think The Gates of Delirium is a masterpiece, I've never been too keen on side 2 of Relayer and I feel that Going for the One is a more solid album

Relayer

Big gap then:

GFTO beating Drama by a small margin.

It's a good job he's NOT pitting Drama against Topographic then, isn't it..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
