Ahh, a great topic. Yes was probably my first love in the progressive music genre and Fragile played a large part. Particularly "The Fish" and "Heart of the Sunrise". "Roundabout" was good but more of the radio hook for the album. I have always been a fan of esoteric lyrics and creativity in music. And I must say that Mr. Steve Howe is one of the finest guitar players that ever lived. I agree that the Yes album and Close to the Edge are probably better overall recordings and I also enjoy Tales from Topographical Oceans. All members were/are excellent musicians. So to answer the OP's question, for me it is a great album but I don't like to rank music since it is completely mood dependent.
