Poll: Best Yes-related album of 1974

As we wait the official release date of the new Yes album, Heaven & Earth, we continue with another poll looking to the past. 83 of you voted in the poll for the best Yes-related album of 1974. The results:

1) King Crimson: Red (w/ Bruford): 38 (46%)
2) Rick Wakeman: Journey to the Centre of the Earth: 26 (31%)
3) King Crimson: Starless and Bible Black (w/ Bruford): 9 (11%)
4) Refugee: Refugee (w/ Moraz): 6 (7%)
5) Wally: Wally (w/ Wakeman): 1 (1%)

No votes for Badger's White Lady (w/ Kaye) or Eddie Harris's E.H. in the U.K. (w/ Kaye, Squire, White). 3 votes for Other, but not specified.

So, a repeat of the 1973 poll, King Crimson winning over Rick Wakeman, although Red's margin over Journey (15%) is better than Larks' Tongues' over 6 Wives (5%). King Crimson nab third as well, with few votes beyond these albums.

  1. 1971 to 1975 - a four year period of a richness of musical development, experimentation and product .... will such richness ever be matched?
