Narps Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Which is best? I will take Going For The One by a nose. Excellent mix of older early Yes and where they were headed in the 80's..... Edited September 13, 2014 by Narpski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Close To The Edge, for CTTE and And You And I mainly, though I like Siberian Khatru. Edited September 13, 2014 by len(songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Close to the Edge . Just listening to it transports me to a world where everything looks like a Roger Dean landscape. I'm going to have to listen to it now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Close to the Edge. My fave section being "I Get Up, I Get Down". I can tell this inspired Rush such as the waterfall in 2112 and the birdsong in Xanadu. Structurally, I think "Hemispheres" is like Close to the Edge.

Narps Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Just for the record I realize again that I put this thread in the wrong place It was my first poll ever and I lost my head momentarily...... But "Onward" we go anyway.... :madra: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Close To The Edge. Fragile has too much filler not-songs on it. 90125 has Changes, which may be my favorite Yes song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 I added The Yes Album to the poll. Only an idiot would have left it off to begin with. Not having my best day today...... :sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Yes Album. Closely followed by Fragile and Close to the Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Fragile is their only album I've gotten into. So it gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile has too much filler not-songs on it. 90125 has Changes, which may be my favorite Yes song.Oh, I don't know. The album was meant to showcase solo work from each. Or at least each person having a "lead" role in a particular song. Love "Cans and Brahms" with Rick Wakeman. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Close to the Edge without question. Relocating to MotS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's true, but for the sake of this poll I'd rather pick one that was full of actual songs instead of smaller solo pieces, even if those solo pieces on Fragile are good, which they are!

Narps Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 See?You called it. To me its the difference between some really good music and a spiritual experience e.g. Awaken, Close To The Edge at least. I have been wrong before however.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I like their first two albums as well. Their song "Yesterday and Today" from the first album is a beautiful plaintive song which makes me think of autumn days. Their second album "Time and a Word" shows some major hammond organ playing by Tony Kaye. It's hard to pick a fave Yes album. After Close to the Edge, the rest seem to be more on equal terms. I really like "Union" even though band members thought it was terrible. I have no problem with 90125 or Big Generator. Big Generator came out a couple of weeks after Hold Your Fire and Pink Floyd's "Momentary Lapse..." albums. Tormato is a weird album and members have stated it lacked a clear direction. "Drama" is pretty average but probably at the bottom of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
