That song is good, but in comparison to all of the other Gentle Giant songs, it's not that significant and doesn't really deserve any special attention, IMHO.


 


 





Ok I just put it on again anyway

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.

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!

"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.

Ok, I'm really hooked on Octopus now, Raconteur Troubadour is great, I'm listening to Think Of Me With Kindness at the moment and it's awesome as well.
Can anyone tell me who sings lead on "Troubadour"?

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.
