I like Rick and Roll's approach...
Keep BG in the interest of completeness. One of the best features of AM is that there is ample material from all artists. Sampling new stuff is, and always has been, the essence of AM. Now while most of us on these forums are well familiar with the Yes catalog, some new listeners may not be. Give them a chance to sample the lesser known stuff. (That can work both ways, those familiar with the 'pop' eighties may not know anything about "Sound Chaser" from Relayer.)
BTW, I didn't listen to BG that much when it came out because I was hoping for more material like the Fragile - Relayer era. But now, whenever I give it a listen, I like it more and more, and its poppiness seems to have matured a bit (as I get older). Holy Lamb is one of my favorite Yes pieces.
If you're worried about disk space, we could start a thread about what else might be eliminated. Don't get me started....
