Oh yee of little faith

I'm not sure how i'm going to vote for Yes, had a spin of Fragile and it's the sort of album i can't gauge whether i really enjoy or not. If i get the time this week, another album to try?

How will solo artists be treated with? If someone puts up a nomination for Clapton, so we consider his time with Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos? If so, can we still nominate a band like Cream (who should get in) or Blind Faith (who shouldn't)? Or do we just vote Clapton as a solo artist only? Because that would serious hurt his chances.

I think solo artists should be judged on their own material alone. If Phil Collins got voted in because he was once in Genesis it wouldn't make much sense.

I think you'll like The Yes Album more (coming your way). It's still prog but it's a bit more accessible and melodic than Fragile.

Time and a Word, Drama and Magnification are also good choices out of their more accessible material.

I probably wouldn't recommend Tales or Relayer even though I consider them to be among their best work, they just tend to be albums only Yes fans appreciate, everyone else ends up hating them.
