Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it?

In my opinion it is one of the great all time rock albums and in the same class as DSOTM and Sargent Pepper's. It is as about as perfect of a collective composition as an album can come. It cut new ground in sound and was a high water mark for the band. And, now that the new analog transfer to vinyl is out, one heck of a great sounding album.

What's your opinion. Should it be in the top 10 rock albums of all time?

I like Fragile, like Close To The Edge better but never considered either to be In a discussion of Great Albums.

I've liked Fragile since it first came out when I was a 11 years old. I still listen to it occasionally. There is some excellent musicianship on Fragile. However it is not in my top 10. DSOTM is not in my top 10 favorites either......

It's good but I tend to like The Yes Album more.

Other great Yes albums are CTTE and Relayer.

I'm also a Drama fan and any Yes fan should also own the more recent and wonderful "Fly From Here" if not already.

I don't have a top 10 or 50 or whatever. I am a YES fan. I am glad they were there when I was growing up and their music is still around to listen to now. A really great band. They get my toe tapping and me singing along. That is pretty high praise.

Great albumn for sure! Amazing musicianship and sonics.

However we couldn’t agree on the "Top ten best rock vocalist". I doubt we could narrow the best rock albums to 100.
