Tough call. One of my all time favorite bands, and a very heavy influence on me. The intro to Close to the Edge is about the weirdest and most beautiful piece of rock music.
Heart of the Sunrise was a favorite until I hear King Crimsons 21st Century Schizoid man.
My pick is :

Siberian Khatru

It's got great riffs, beautiful harmonies, and is a strong composition from beginning to end.

Of all the solo albums from Yes alumni , Chris Squires "Fish Out of Water" was the best, I listen to it more than many of the Yes albums.

I should also mention one of my all time favorite concert experiences: on the Union tour they played "Awaken", there was something about that performance in LA, all my friends who were there agree. They nailed it and it is rocking and haunting and amazing , and achieved what progressive rock seems to always be striving for.

It's sad about Chris Squire, I would've loved to see them play again.

Lot of good stuff from Yes, but my favorite is "I've Seen All Good People." That soaring ending seals the deal.
