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 like most of the work by Yes even though it can be hard to figure out just WHICH Yes is performing.  Lots of different musician  combinations. 

Fragile is a showcase album.  It features "solo" work by the band members to show off their individual talents.  Interspersed is some interesting and creative progressive rock.  Top 10?  Nah.  But worth buying, enjoying the music and collecting the work.

Close to the Edge is quite good.  IMO, maybe the best Yes work.
