	I'll get crucified for this on here but my favorite GG song is probably I Am a Camera from Civilian. This past Monday I was on the elliptical(listening to Civilian), and when that song came on.. I basically went crazy lol. Got the biggest 'runners high' EVER. Edit: I see that album isn't one of the choices. Oh well, have to be a 'write in' vote I guess.

	Interesting question. My favorite GG song is Give it Back, from Interview. But that’s by no means my fav GG album. Edited by HolyMoly - February 09 2018 at 19:27

	It's not fair. My favorite song is Shadows on the Street, and it's on Civilian :D But I choose Free Hand, because the other 5 favorite songs are on that album.

	This is torture. I’m thinking my fave tune is Giant , from the debut. One of the few, erratic songs in can play on bass !!

	Memories of Old Days His Last Voyage Raconteur, Troubadour On Reflection Wreck Since one of my two favourites is on The Missing Piece, voting is quite easy: Free Hand.

	Three Friends - Schooldays best song they ever did. It had it all... especially what GG completely forgot soon after... beauty,emotion and atmosphere
	The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip

	Hard to choose, since I love GG's music. I'll have to think hard before I can single out a particular song.

	My favorite "Playing the Game" from The Power and the Glory. My second favorite is "Inside Out" from Civilian. An album which surprisingly did not make the list.
