I assume this thread is not asking us about album covers but about the albums themselves, right? GFTO by a long shot, followed by Yes Album, Yes, Magnification, Time and a Word, Talk.

[happytheman]

The Yes Album..

Correct

[Trane]

This should be a no-brainer re the top spot TYA no contest

Yup

I assume this thread is not asking us about album covers but about the albums themselves, right? .

That's the way I'd have read it...
Or else it would've gotten even more confusing since their first two albums came with different artworks depending on which side of the pond you camle from


TYA by a mile... (even considering the RD albums)

more or less tied:
Yes
Time & A Word
GFTO
Tormato
Magnification

Can't be bothered by the rest of them


BTW, OYE (AKA Close You Ear) cannot be considered here since the yes logo is RD's , and it's the only thing present on the sleeve (GFTO and Tormato have proper sleeves and Magnification is disputable)

1.The Yes Album
2. Going for the One

The only others I truly love have Roger Dean covers

[Rufus]

I don't undersand the question.

Is it favourite non-RD cover on a Yes Lp? (regardless of music)

OR

Fav Yes album (due to the music) that doesn't have an RD cover?

It clearly states favourite album , not album cover !
