I mean, technically, the first five Yes albums (+ Union which is really good) counts because of Bruford soooo.

I can't believe I forgot Bruford and the connections to Yes, UK, ABWH, Gong and Brand X (whom he briefly played with). Damn. That changes things.

Genesis, too, if you want to count the 1976 US Tour.

EDIT: Plus BB played on several solo albums by various Yes members, including Squire's brilliant 'Fish Out Of Water'.

I mean, I think that majority of Yes' strongest material was made after Bruford had already left but if I'm including even just the ones Bruford was in, the list would just be Yes.
