There were a lot of Yes-related releases in the second half of 2019, partly because of a slew of Rick Wakeman archival releases, but there were still 15 releases involving everyone other than Rick. Thus, I've split our customary poll into three rounds and a final.
Round 1 had 33 votes and went like this:
1. Refugee: Refugee [2019 re-release] (w/ Moraz): 33% (11 votes)
2. Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders: Get the Money (w/ Davison): 27% (9 votes)
3. Dollar: Ultimate Dollar 1 (w/ Horn) 24% (8 votes)
4. Jon Anderson: The Opus series: 12% (4 votes)
5. David Hasselhoff: Open Your Eyes (w/ Moraz): 3% (1 vote)
There were no votes for Renato Zero's huge-selling Zero il Folle (w/ Horn),
Zorbonauts' Tall Tails (w/ Downes), Wally's Martyrs and Cowboys (The Atlantic Recordings 1974-1975) (w/ Wakeman in a production role) or the soundtrack album One Little Finger (Ability in Disability) (w/ Banks).
Refugee (which was eligible because this release includes some previously unreleased live material from the archives) and Get the Money go forward to the final.

Poll: Best Yes-related album of 1974
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.
