God, the father, Jesus Christ, the son, or the Holy Ghost. Which one do you love the most. C'mon?! That said, I guess today I would say Larks.

^^ Elections I rarely vote in just for fun (I expect the "just for fun" vote significantly helped Donald Trump).
Real elections tend to matter more (I would seriously reform the way elections are held if I had the power). If they were of as little consequence as these polls, then I probably wouldn't bother making the effort to vote at all. If I don't feel strongly about the results, I don't vote in elections, and I rarely care much about the results in these polls. At least when I make polls most of the time, I only look at the polls as an accessory to discussion and am rarely that interested in the actual poll results. Others approach it differently, and that's fine too. Different strokes for different folks. |

Love all 3, but Larks gets the vote. I remember the first time I heard the title track to Birds of Fire I thought it was Crimson

^Well, it's not official unless you actually vote. Imagine if the real elections worked that way? Lol. ;)

If CristuaxFer is like me, as I am more interested in reading the comments and writing than looking at results and clicking on options, I quite often register my preference by post rather than bothering to click on an option in the poll.
EDIT: I hadn't checked to see Christopher's point count until now -- one cannot vote in polls until one has 40 points unless that's changed -- so in that case he could not have voted anyway as it is currently too low (39 points). I've now given him a "thanks" (a generally underutilised feature imo) which gives five points, so now he can vote if he wants. Edited by Logan - November 24 2018 at 19:19 |

So then how come you didn't vote for Octopus then or if you did you didn't do it until earlier today. No votes for Octopus at all yesterday.

^ It suits me, I think, but I expect that some could not handle the awesome manliness of it.

'Larks' Tongues in Aspic' gets my vote but 'Birds of Fire' is insanely good too.

Octopus is amazing, and GG is my favorite of the three here, but it's not my favorite GG album.
1. Lark's 2. Octopus 3. Birds of Fire

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Octopus.
Three excellent albums. Larks is superb but the sheer range of influences that GG bring to Octopus and the fact that I simply adore their medieval folk rock fusion, just gives it the edge. Birds of Fire is superb also, although I slightly prefer Inner Mounting Flame with "Noonward Race" |
