No, because what you voted for was probably better;)

Two of the best Yes albums.

The instrumentation is great, but the vocals and lyrics can be pretty annoying to me.

Jon Anderson is always going to be an acquired taste and their lyrics are not meant to make any sense anyway.

When I listen to them, my focus is on the instrumentation. I just try to look past the vocals. haha

What albums would you reccommend for someone who doesnt know their music very well?

Easiest place to start with is probably the definitive Yes album simply called The Yes Album, it was their third album but and the album which established them. Next listen to Fragile their first with Rick Wakeman then move onto their Magnum Opus Close to the Edge.

See how you get on with those three first.
