Agreed.

Disagree, but understand and respect your opinion.
However, if you're feeling charitable, do try to give 'Close to the Edge'
or 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' a neutral listen: the production is
dated, but the composition... Many people I know can't get past Jon
Anderson's voice/lyrics (I'm not one of them), but I think enough time has
passed to re-evaluate them...

If you don't like Yes, you might start with something later: the 'golden
era' (IMHO) of 'later year' KC are the 3 albums from the 80s, Discipline,
Beat, & 3 of a Perfect Pair. IMHO the first two are stronger than the
last, but all are worth a listen. The instrumentals may particularly
appeal (personally I [heart] Adrian Belew).
The ideal starting point might be 'the sheltering sky,' a long
instrumental...
On the other hand, there is much to like in early KC ~ it's just more
rooted in its era (60s/70s) and sounds it... but again, if you don't like
Yes... might try Islands though.
