Relayer was always my favorite because of the avant-jazz weirdness it sometimes gets swallowed up in, but Tales is definitely the Yes-iest of their albums. That whole trio (Close To The Edge, Tales... and Relayer) is essential IMO.

It's weird. I ****ing hate so much prog and Tales is absolutely the most like the kind of prog I loath but it's a band I like doing it in a way that actually makes sense to my hater ears. You just get to float along on a neon inner-tube for over an hour and relax but they still got grooves to make your head bob at the same time. Fragile might be more accessible but it ain't got **** on those heights.

Edit: 14 minutes in and it's not been not lit yet.

Relayer and Going for the One are both underrated for sure.

Relayer's probably my second choice but I'm still a Yes plebe so I don't have a whole lot to say beyond that.

Nobody's telling you to listen to Genesis or ELP.

I don't know what we're talking about now I'm drunk
I think King Crimson were more influential TBH. Thurston Moore and Kurt Cobain both worshiped at that altar. 21st Century Schizoid Man was heavy as ****.
