I do like the effort and thought that went into Relayer, it just dosn't hit me in the heart like Close to the edge or even Fragile and the Yes album.  The Yes album, having no tron (this is correct?) feels youthful and celebratory.  This is the album that got me into Yes.
I will be redundant and be very critical of bands like Spock's beard (form over content), Spring (way too much tron and not enough real songs) and here's an oldie for you, Flash. Does anyone remember them?   I bought one of their albums in the seventies because of Peter Banks and the tron and boy, was I disappointed. Very derivative of the current prog of the time and complete with lyrics about Knights and fair maidens and all that Nottingham crap. Obviously taking a page from early Gabriel. Oh BTW, the previous two sentences are constructed very poorly.

Yea... The Flash - "In The Can" album.  A nice set of breasts on the 
cover.  That's what caught my attention.  Good marketing.

You should get 'Love Beach' by ELP. That one had *three* tits on the
cover.

It's my opinion, nothing more. I'm into instrumental stuff and always have been.

Correct. Although one bloke tried his hardest to convince me the recorders
on, er, whatever they're on were 'Tron flutes.
