In A Glass House, always.

Funny the votes on the top 100 are startlingly different than what this thread shows!

It's easily one of the first two, but I don't really know which one to go with.

Imo, all are at least very good. I wasn't going to vote since I'm not that familiar with a  few but voted for Octopus anyway.

I'm really not sure why, but Free Hand is and has always been my go-to GG album (aside from Playing the Fool, that is).

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

Went with In a Glass House. The Power & the Glory would be close behind.

Third vote for Three Friends.
I'm guitarist and songwriter for the prog-related band Mother Bass. Find us at http://www.motherbass.com. I also enter stages throughout the Netherlands performing my poetry.

All great albums, so it’s hard to choose. I voted for the Power and the Glory, but I could have gone any other way tomorrow.

It was always very hard for me to choose my favourite album of this great band. During the times, I frequently changed my preference between Acquiring The Taste, In A Glass House, The Power And The Glory and Free Hand. But, for some time, my preference has come to be for In A Glass House. So, In A Glass House must be my vote.
