What is this Progressive Ears II?

Gates Of Delirium
Time and a Word
Harold Land

OK, MC this was too hard since every song on the first two albums are the best, while the Yes album and Relayer come in right behind.

Although I like a song here and there, I lost big interest after Relayer when they went too commercial for me and just kept putting out albums to make money.

No disagreement here.
It was that "song here and there" that kept us buying everything they released.
The exeptions are the many compilation albums -- I did not buy all those.

Close to the Edge (hey, it's a single track, right?)
Starship Trooper
South Side of the Sky

As far as I'm concerned, every album besides the "big 3" represents a significant step downward in quality. Even Relayer. Even Time and a Word.

I'm a big fan of Relayer.............Moraz provided a unique twist to the band.
TO BE OVER is a beautiful piece.
SOUND CHASER has a very cool 5-count rhythm and tempo-shifts.
The SOON portion of DELERIUM is simply gorgeous.
Biggest downer is the recording.........they did it at Squire's home studio.

Not only that, but Moraz's parts were from the practice session.

I agree with the Moraz twist. Too bad he didn't spend more time in the band.

His Refugee album with Lee and Davidson from The Nice is outstanding.

Also, Live in Tokyo with Bruford is excellent.
