Alright, as I am a man of the people, let's do this.
List your top 15 favorite Yes albums.
I was a little wary about doing this one, given that the more prog-influenced countdowns haven't has as much participation, so I am counting on the hardcore prog fans to come through and participate in this one!
Send your list to me via PM.
The rules:
-Albums must be listed from 15 to 1 in order (in reverse order), with no ties. No having three albums at number 1 or anything like that. DO NOT list your albums with the points total. List them in your order (I will figure out the points on my end).
-Any list submitted with the albums not numbered will be ignored.
-Anyone wanting to submit a list must do so by the end of day, Saturday, July 15th. I will then begin the countdown shortly thereafter.
-The list will be tallied numerically in a simple way. On each list, whatever album is at number 1 gets 15 points, number 2 gets 14 points, number 3 gets 13 points, etc.
-PROOFREAD YOUR LISTS BEFORE SENDING THEM. Any list with the same album mentioned twice will be not be counted.
Feel free to post in this thread as well that you have PM'd me, if for no other reason than to bump this back up for others who may want to participate who may not have seen the thread yet.
This ranking engine link below works great if you have too much difficulty making one on your own. You can input all of the albums you want, and then you pick your favorite of every 1 on 1 matchup and then it spits out your list.
https://rankingengine.pubmeeple.com/Two notes:
1) I am listing Keystudio as one album, which makes more sense that listing to the two Keys albums separately, especially since both are partial live albums.
2) Fly from Here can only be listed once, so a vote for the original counts as the same as a vote for the Return Trip version. Whichever version you like best is the one you can list, but you cannot list the two separate versions to take up two spots.
