Shoutout to RS! Really thought they would have put Fragile by Yes due to it being a little more accessible. But Close to the Edge is without a doubt their best album and absolutely deserves all the love and praise it gets. I listened to this album for the first time in high school and it totally blew me away. I always find it funny too that Bill Bruford left this band because it was too challenging, to go to King Crimson which is known as being one of the toughest and most demanding bands to work in lol Yes is a very talented band, but I find their discog spotty. The two albums released before this are great though, as well as Relayer which would come two albums later. Some people might be surprised hearing this album to know that this is the same Yes that made the song Owner of a Lonely Heart. They changed styles in the 80's and it actually worked well with their album 90125 which I'd also recommend. I'm glad you enjoyed this album for the most part. It's a very important piece of music. I think you'll really enjoy more T. Rex as well. Their album Electric Warrior is dope and #188 on this list so you'll get to hear more eventually. Much love and keep up the great work Shawn!

I adore this album, it’s an easy 5 for me. Really glad to see you enjoyed it more than I expected! To be honest, that album is a bit tricky for an intro to the band so your reaction surprised me. If you’re at all interested in more Yes in the future, I’d recommend checking out Fragile or The Yes Album on your own time since they’re not on the list. Those albums are easier pills to swallow since they’re more traditional in album sequencing/pacing and don’t have a beefy 18 minute song taking up half of the entire runtime.
