I’ll have to revisit my Top Ten but Parallels is still in first place.
Gates of Delirium and Turn of the Century also in there too.
Roundabout, And you and I and awaken shoe in’s from your choices.

I would say choice 1 however they are also releasing dire albums which imho treads over the wonderful legacy of the band.
Even though Chris Squire was still alive when Heaven and Earth appeared it was a very poor piece of work.
The Quest is even worse barring The Ice Bridge.
The main Yes forum even advocates continuing with Jimmy Haun when Howe retires ffs.

Fair comment mate. Tbh, I haven’t bought/listened to any of those newer records anyway.

You could also add Yours is no disgrace, Astral traveller, perpetual change, and silent wings of freedom,all bloody good classics.

Perhaps we should all do our top 10 tracks.

Mine would always have Close To The Edge at No 1, I just think it's the best prog opus there is. I love the intro and everything about it.
Heart Of The Sunrise would have to be there, as would Yours Is No Disgrace, Gates Of Delirium, and And You & I.

Absolute top notch musicians. Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman on another planet technically. Great harmonies, great prog rock massive opus's.
I really like a lot of Prog bands but Yes for me were top of the list.

72-77 they were to rock music what City is to football today; sublime, complex, beautiful and miles above anybody else.

Excellent assessment. They really sounded like no-one else. I remember first hearing The Yes Album. I was blown away by the sound and ease of playing such high quality music.
 
I saw them at the Arena in 2005, it had the atmosphere of a religious gathering. Squire Howe Wakeman and Anderson were all playing. The Going For the One album is pretty good. And You And I is probably my favourite song of theirs.

I was listening to King Crimson's Lizard yesterday ,, hadn't realised Anderson sang guest vocals on one song.

I must admit I didn't know that.
He sings on Mike Oldfields album Crises.
 
Two musicians who almost joined Yes and I would have loved to have heard more were
Roger Hodgson - co wrote “Walls” from the Talk album.
Eddie Jobson - appeared on one of the MTV hit singles.
