I asked you what was the best Yes-related album of the first half of 2021. There were 115 votes, which were as follows:
1. Downes Braide Association: Halcyon Hymns - 44% (50 votes)
2. Arc of Life: Arc of Life (w/ Davison, Sherwood) - 20% (23 votes)
? Mike Tiano: CreƩtisvan (w/ Sherwood) - 15% (17 votes)
3. Jon Anderson: Sunlight - 6% (7 votes)
4. A Tribute to Pink Floyd – Still Wish You Were Here (w/ Downes, R Wakeman, Moraz) - 5% (6 votes)
5. Rick Wakeman: Return to the Centre of the Earth deluxe box set - 4% (5 votes)
6. Nolan & Wakeman: Tales by Gaslight (w/ O Wakeman, R Wakeman, previously released material w/ Banks) - 3% (4 votes)
7. Fear Factory: Aggression Continuum (w/ Khoroshev) - 2% (2 votes)
8. Beth Patterson: Singles (w/ Sherwood) - 1% (1 vote)
There were no votes for Deckchair Poets' The Crop Circlers' Guide to Abstract Expressionism (w/ Downes), Badfinger's No Matter What – Revisiting the Hits (w/ R Wakeman) or John Holden & Friends' charity album Together Apart (w/ O Wakeman). All 17 votes for CreĆ©tisvan came in a clump in the last 2 days of the poll and mostly from just two IP addresses, so I don't think that represents an organic expression of feeling.
A clear win for Halcyon Hymns with over double the votes of the second place Arc of Life. Sunlight does well considering it was rapidly withdrawn from release!
