Not a big fan of that album, but I do like Dog's life.

The Advent of Panurge. But River is a great closure, for sure.

The first 3 tracks and River are accessible......but River has a nice feel to it for me so that's the one.

I like the album as a whole, even if it's not a concept. I can't vote, but I think I'll listen to it now...

Knots more or less defines what prog is all about whilst sounding good too.

Not a single weak track on this album but my favourite is a toss up between Advent of Panurge, Boys In The Band and River. Today I'll have to go:
River > Panurge > Boys

Those are the exact three tracks I was thinking of too. Ultimately didn't differ from the consensus thus far - Panurge. But yes, River is an incredible track too. Man, I need to break out this album again now!

^ I was gonna say.......... Yep : Panurge - River - Boys .......but not a weak track on this, incredible album, my very first taste of GG when I bought the LP back in the mid-90's. It was quite weird, even for me, but hooked me in before too long. My very favourite album remains the debut. I was drooling for months when I got the s/t LP

I have failed to vote on this. Love the album and really can't say what my favourite track is. Probably a different one stands out to me every time I play it.
This is my favourite of theirs...unless it's TPATG. Can't even decide that!

I feel the same. I've always like the whole album as a unit. It makes for a great listening experience.
