| I really like the Yes Album (the only one I own) and I'd like to hear your suggestions on what to get next. |

| that is a great album. I think the best Yes record is Close to the Edge. You need to get that. |

| Fragile is good, but Close to the Edge is better, definitely. I actually like The Yes Album more than Fragile. |

| Pretty much all the early stuff is worth getting, don't bypass the first two albums either (before The Yes Album).
I'd go with this order:
1. Close To The Edge
2. Yes (self-titled)
3. Tales From Topographic Oceans
4. Fragile
5. Time And Word or Relayer

| The best album is Close to the Edge. The best to start with, however, would be Fragile. |

| Yeah, just go in order:
Fragile
Close To The Edge
Tales From Topographic Oceans
Relayer (they would never go back to this style again)
Going For The One
I would throw Drama in there just because it is so different and aggressive. |

Honestly, I like every single one of those albums.

| Another classic band I've never heard more than a few songs from. I always mean to, but their discography is daunting for someone like me. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off   |

| Yeah, i definitely like the Yes album more than the 80's stuff I've heard. And what I've heard of the 70's material is awesome. |

| Do pick up Talk, though. It is the best and most progressive album from the Trevor Rabin days |
