Close to the Edge is the easy choice for me. As great as “The Yes Album” and “Fragile” are, I always prefer the versions of songs such as “Yours is No Disgrace” and “Starship Trooper” from Yessongs. The live versions are much more dynamic. CTTE captures Yes at their peak as the group begins is slow decent from the pinnacle of prog rock, with the departure of Bill Bruford.
