Topic: Best Gentle Giant Album Posted: August 10 2014 at 02:17 |
Haven't seen this poll so thought I'd do it myself. Just wondering which is your favourite GG album?
Lots of great albums but it's got to be "The Power And The Glory" for me - absolute masterpiece ![Smile Smile](smileys/smiley1.gif)
Thanks for any feedback!

In A Glass House
I can see why people prefer some of the others, but this was my first Giant album and I love every little melody and riff and moment, it's brilliant.

I think this is gonna be quite spread over several albums. Personally I voted for Power and the Glory, closely followed by Glass House and Free Hand.

There isn't a single GG album I love all the way through, but overall I'd say my favorite is Power and the Glory, followed by Octopus.

Three Friends. I love the lyrics, the poignancy of the album's theme, and of course, the music. It is also the first GG I ever heard. I also love Power & Glory, In A Glass House, Acquiring the Taste, Octopus, Freehand and s/t. Other than that I don't care for the band at all. ![Wacko Wacko](smileys/smiley29.gif) Actually my all-time favorite GG album is Playing the Fool. No foolin'.
