I'm actually surprised about two things here. The first is Fragile coming in at number two considering how so many people are always complaing about the solo tracks and how they make the album uneven and disjointed. Secondly, I'm surprised the Yes album came in behind Relayer at number four. I've always thought Relayer was too wild for most people (it's my favorite though). Other than that no real big surprises. For many GFTO was a bit of a let down after Relayer. I'm glad to see it in the top 7 though. Also, it's nice to see T&AW in the top ten. I've never been a huge fan of the debut but it's where things all started and so as an important part of their history it's good to see that make the top ten too. I personally would put BG in replace of it though but I know that's not a popular opinion! LOL. Actually I'd put it (or maybe even talk) in where 90125 is. ;)

Easy in cases like this; simply go in the order you got the albums - you don't have to think too much and chances are it is how you would have ordered them anyway...
1. Relayer 2. Tales from Topographic Oceans 3. Going For The One 4. The Yes Album 5. Close To The Edge 6. Tormato 7. Drama |

I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that my own personal YES Top 10 looks nothing like the overall PA Top 10.  1. The Quest 2. The Ladder 3. Talk 4. Going for the One 5. Close to the Edge 6. The Yes Album 7. Fly from Here 8. Magnification 9. Tales from Topographic Oceans 10. 90210 |

The answer today is:
The Yes Album 90125 Fragile Close to the Edge Drama Going for the One Relayer The first five are my go-to albums and I don’t really rank them. It’s more like a food craving. Enchiladas versus Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups |

1. Relayer 2. The Yes Album 3. Tales from Topographic Oceans 4. Close to the Edge 5. Fragile 6. Keystudio 7. Big Generator (If only for "Aim High, Shoot Low" in my opinion one of their best and most under rated songs.)

By the previous lists I assume that live albums are excluded? Because YesSongs ought to be there somewhere in the Top 10!
1. Close to the Edge
2. Relayer 3. Fragile 4. The Yes Album 5. Going for the One 6. Drama 7. TFTO 8. Tormato 9. Magnification 10. 90125 |

That points difference between 1st and 2nd/3rd is crazy especially as Fragile and Relayer are both considered front line prog albums so to speak.

Yes, it was a foregone conclusion that no other album would even come close to topping Close to the Edge, or that my own personal top-rated album would finish up bottom of the list again.
