I'm a big Yes fan. "The Yes Album" should have been on my mosaic. The Who's "The Who Sell Out" should have been there too. And Floyd....it's hard to get it down to 9.
If you like yes, give peter gabriel era Genesis a try. I like "Selling England by the Pound" from them.

YES I love herbie man. My old fusion band played chameleon. I play bass guitar and just a few weeks ago in my recording class i recorded a version of chameleon with only bass and drums. I play the melody, the bass line, and the guitar part all on bass. Herbie was such an inovator in funk, you just gotta love the guy.
