Hard to choose, I love this album. I went with "Think of Me with Kindness".
Vinyl just sounds better!!

I voted for Knots. It would be followed by Advent of Panurge, even if Think of Me With Kindness holds a soft spot for me.

Dogs Life gets only one vote, but it's still a great tune, isn't it?

OK, but why post then? I generally avoid threads about bands I don't like.

Advent of Panurge gets my vote, but this is an album without a single weak track. I'm not the biggest GG fan, but Octopus is the best I've heard from them, and would probably rank in my top 10 prog albums of all time.

I also love 'River' and 'Raconteur Troubador'

Best GG album...
Current Listening:

Heater valve kicking on.
Snotty noses being blown.
Griping.
Maybe cookies coming out of the oven???

C is for cookie, and it is good enough for me.

The Advent of Panurge, definitely!

One of my favorite pieces of music ever, and a perfect album opener!
