@Shaka You will get a hundred answers to that question from Yes fans. But I should start at The Yes Album and move forward chronologically (missing out Topographic Oceans would be acceptable). And STOP after Drama. Then go back to fill in the blanks.
@ian38018@Shaka YesFanAnswerNo.2 I agree with Ian to start at The Yes Album but I would stop at Going For The One and leap to their last album Fly From Here taking in as many live albums along the way.
The holy trinity, The Yes Album, Fragile and CTTE about covers it. Relayer for something a bit more uncompromising and Drama for the hell of it but as Ian38018 says stop after that.
@Shaka Whatever you do, don't ignore "Yes" and "Time and a Word" (the ones before "The Yes Album") - I did that and only discovered how good they were years later. @Bukowski Seriously good jam, of course!
