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've sen Yes live 5 times over the years, last time about 10 years ago.

Great live band, at least every time I've seen them.   Steve Howe alone is mesmerizing.   He also has many high quality and diverse solo recordings over the years that any Yes fan should check out.  I have a two disc Howe solo compilation CD set that is wonderful in every way.

I agree that the Yes album is their best. Not a bad note. Alas, not top 10.
Also a fan of Tales from Topographic Oceans, then Close To The Edge, then Fragile.

I love the Yes album.  I like Close to the Edge and I think Tales from T.O. is good but I haven't spun it in ages.  Fragile just never did anything for me for some reason.
