Fallout 3?

I liked Close to the Edge a little better, but Relayer was great, too.

Me, I'm a bit odd : I like The Ladder much more, and Magnification even a tiny bit more, perhaps due to my love for Classic Rock in general. 
Consequently, I like the version of Close To The edge most which was played during the Magnification tour.
(I watched them in Düsseldorf, Germany).
This can be found on the "Symphonic Live" album, which was a great disappointment to me (like the tour), because you don't hear much of the orchestra especially on older songs. Except in Close To The Edge.
On the other hand, I don't like "Talk" at all. Except for one song, it's totally horrible for my taste.
I'm planning to buy Keystudio at one point in the future.
As a sidenote, I lived ABWH very much as well, but I don't have many older albums yet. Except the "Yesyears" 4-CD box.

IMO the albums from "The Yes Album" to "Going for the One" are the YES classics, including "Tales from Topographic Oceans". I also happen to like "Tormato","Drama" and 90125, but not as much. I stopped following them after "Union".
AWBH was good.

As it is it's still a good album and worth it for the 1st & last track.
"Drama" is actually underrated, not great but not a bad album at all.
It's funny, been a long time fan but still don't own "Tormato" or "90125"! "Big Generator" was ok but "Union" was TERRIBLE! Except for the live albums, I haven't picked up anything after "Union"
After "Relayer" I would say "Tales" or "Close To The Edge". I think some of the material was stronger on "Tales" but "Close" is a lot more focused so it's a tie.
But the greatest song they've recorded to date for me would be "Awaken"!
Nothing they've done, except for "Gates Of Delirium" even comes close!
And to keep it on topic: Fallout3 disappointed me like "Union" did!!! I expected SO MUCH and go SO LITTLE
Ok, actually it was Oblivion that did that - Fallout 3 was a little bit of an improvement.And Alrik: "Selling England By The Pound" BEST Genesis album after "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"!

I just love this album. 
The Lamb is very complex in things, and very experimental, meanwhile my personal feeling of Selling is that everything is just very much balanced and just smooth.

It's my personal perception, of course.

My other favourites by Genesis are rather Trespass and We Can't Dance. Although I like all.
