I am disappointed in myself, @Sonic Temple -- I've never taken time to give Yes a good listen until relatively recently when I listened to the first record. I do like what I have heard, though.

As a side note, I was familiar with Tales from the Topographic Ocean. Rick Wakeman despised the album, and there's a great story about them doing a show on that tour in Manchester. He was so bored he ordered a curry -- chicken vindaloo, rice, poppadums and naan bread, as I recall -- and spread out the containers over his keyboards and then ate it on stage while playing a 45-minute song, LOL.

Fragile # 17, Close to the edge # 19 ???!!!
C'mon man, you are not a real Yes fan.
Your first six place belong in the middle or at the end of the list.
Relayer # 7, i'm alright with that and 90125 maybe high in the list, but not #1.

Couldn't agree more. This is not the rating of a Yes fan.

A) Who knew Yes had 23 albums?
B) Even for a guy that had no idea Yes had so many albums, I still know that Fragile belongs nowhere near 18th. Would have to be at least top 3?
