I still feel their best stuff came out in the 60s and 70s. On their current tour, I think they're playing three of their older albums: The Yes Album, Close to the Edge, and Going For the One. The bad news is that Jon Anderson may have to sit out this tour due to health problems, and I think Rick Wakeman won't be in the lineup, either.

But definitely check out Relayer. It's still one of my favorites.
