I've only listened to Close to the Edge, which was reasonably impressive.

Funny thing is 'reasonably impressive' is a very Yes kinda thing to say. Like a polytechnic proff Yes fan from the 70's would describe something.

Treat yourself by buying the BluRay DVD "Live at Montreaux" While they open with a slow version of Siberian Khatru, the highlight of that concert is the incredible performance of And You And I. In it, you see Jon's vocal's call up the longing that exists when you want those special feelings for that special other. Steve Howe's performance on the steel guitar will bring tears if you've ever loved someone so much it hurt. Alan White's drums punctuate the song with an intensity that you never realized before. It's the best performance on a fantastic recording of one of their best concert performances. Treat yourself.

Show Me is a pretty little ballad too.

Without a doubt, he's widely underrated.

He's my favorite guitarist. Hands down. The stuff he does with a pedal steel is just godly.
