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).

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 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.

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

Relayer. The other two have their moments though.

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.

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  and Moraz could play circles around him... gave us the immortal keyboard awesomeness The Cinema Show.

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.

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

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...
