I think that "The Advent of Parnurge" is a great song (like every song made by GG)
But in my opinion the "Prologue", "The Moon Is Down", or "Time To Kill" are their masterpieces.

"Octopus" is my second favourite GG album, my fave is "Three Friends". I think that "Octopus" is their most perfect cd, which sounds closely sterile at times.

"The Advent Of Panurge" is a superb song, that is sure but my all-time GG fave is "Schooldays", the most haunting song in their catalogue.

Do you think Raconteur is better than Jethro Tull's Minstrel In The Gallery? In my opinion it damn is!!!
yet you still have time!

I find myself agreeing with Snowy again - I'm fairly new to the world of GG but Octopus is brilliant and Raconteur Troubadour is my favourite GG song so far.

Ok I just put it on again anyway

Currently listening to GG.  It may sound stupid but I only 'discovered' Gentle Giant some two years ago.  In the seventies and eighties, when browsing through the vinyl in the local record shop, Gentle Giant was alwasy directly  after Genesis. I never considered listening to it. Until  I was able do download via progarchives the tracks Experience and Three friends. Directly bought three albums (Gentle Giant, Three Friends and In a Glass House).

Because you guys (and girls?) were talking about Knots and Advent of panurge I could not resist downloading them. Smile Another album on my list .

BTW, I find 'Intimates lullaby' on In a Glass House beautifully strange.

Knots - marvellous, but my personal favourite of two GG songs with very complicated harmonies is On Reflection from Free Hand.

Completely agree with you!

What about Knots? Do you like it?

In a glass house and Free hand (on Reflection!!!!!) are two wonderful ways to investigate GG
