No, it's not a mirage; Camel is far and away the cream of this crop.

Space Ritual is mesmerizingly wonderful! Three Friends is pretty great, working all day is somewhat simple but funny. Pawn Hearts is great, but VDGG albums all run together into one big cake of great songs that I cannot differentiate between. I have to check out Camel. I think I had Moonmadness but I could not get into it.

although Hawkwind is one of my very favourite bands, I'm not a big listener of live albums.
I've never been into Gentle Giant. I did make a point of checking out a lot of their stuff a few months ago, including Three Friends and it wasn't to my taste. although that is probably largely down to me tending to prefer contemporary progressive rock to albums from the 70s when checking out new (to me) music. And although A plague of Lighthouse keepers is a great track, I was never keen on the rest of Prawn Hearts. So Mirage it is for me

Hawkwind is out, a very cool album but not one of my faves from the Hawks, but the other three are my favourite albums from each of these bands. So, the favourite of the favourites..........?
Quite possibly Three Friends, but near impossible to honestly commit to ticking the box......... Think I’ll return to Cannibal Corpse for now. |

If I had to listen to one of these over and over....it would be Camel or Hawkwind....but the guitar work and playing is better on Camel even though the artwork and Stacia's exotic dancing make up for the lack of that.
(That's prolly why Micky likes it so much..that and the booze, etc...) ;) 3 Friends is one of my least favorite GG lp's and Pawn Hearts...while considered a 'masterpiece' by many..and does have some great playing....simply starts to annoy after repeated listens...mostly due to that weird singer they had. |

VDGG because it's epic. Also, none of the rest have Fripp.

Tough choice, but out of these, Came "Mirage" for me. Then VDGG, then that particular GG record (my fave prog band, but not my fave album of theirs).

I love camels but this specific one pales next to the mighty Pawn Hearts, hence my vote (and untied the poll - now leading by one)

Love Pawn Hearts, Mirage, and Three Friends, but Pawn Hearts is the greatest masterpiece of the three. Hawkwind doesn't do it for me.

Space Ritual for me. I love Mirage and Pawn hearts but 3 friends not my fave GG lp. But, no, I don't dance of pool tables or blow anyone's brains out with a 45 slug... F*** me how much more sh*t will we have to be exposed to..
