A lot to choose from, but a 'Greatest Hits1)might be a different kind of release than a 'Yesyears: the Best Of 1980-2021' compilation album. If I was thinking like a record company, I would probably go for:

DISC ONE:

1) Tempus Fugit
2) Owner Of A Lonely Heart
3) Leave It
4) Changes
5) Rhythm Of Love
6) Love Will Find A Way
7) Lift Me Up
8) Walls
9) The Calling
10) Children Of Light (original mix)
11) Universal Garden
12) Open Your Eyes
13) Nine Voices

DISC TWO:

1) Homeworld (edit)
2) Lightening Strikes
3) The Messenger
4) Magnification
5) Don't Go
6) In The Presence Of
7) Show Me
8) We Can Fly From Here (single version)
9) Into The Storm
10) Believe Again
11) To Ascend
12) To The Moment
13) Dare To Know
14) The Ice Bridge

a 1-disc thingy would probably be like:

1) Tempus Fugit
2) Owner Of A Lonely Heart
3) Changes
4) It Can Happen
5) Rhythm Of Love
6) Love Will Find A Way
7) Lift Me Up
8) The Calling
9) Open Your Eyes
10) Homeworld (edit)
11) In The Presence Of
12) We Can Fly (single version)
13) the Ice Bridge

What is heartburn and earaches and suckfest?

[Enlighten]

What is heartburn and earaches and suckfest?

Remember the Main Sequence of Yes? We’re now in the Heartburn and Earaches Suckfest Sequence of Yes. Steve Howe is getting vocal training lessons, so things are looking up.😉

I bet you, in about 30 years you will post a thread on this forum where you talk about revisiting those albums and how you finally discovered the good about them....😜😄

I think you’re totally right, Arno. By that time, the Alzheimer’s and dementia will have fully set in and those albums will probably sound great.😊🥳🙃

It's so hard to quibble about any of these songs there's no reason to post my own list. 👍

I didn’t obey the rules, are you shocked? I figured that as long as I was in my right mind, there was no way that anything from Hiccups and Earworms or The Jest was going on my list. I made up for those lame efforts by including all of Drama and all of Jacaranda. Isn’t everyone happy now?🥳🙃🙄
