I like the compositions on Octopus, but they aren't that well-executed on the studio album.  Much better live.

Voted Octopus.

Score one for the debut.  They would get much much better, IMO.

Never got into Three Friends. 

So far 8-11 were almost releases 8-11, I think that streak ends here. xD

summer of '69 right BEFORE Hot Rats AND Bitches Brew were recorded.

The debut because of the crappy production. I'm sad to know that Three Friends will loose, it's my favourite album from GG

Acquiring The Taste.

The most overrated album in GG's catalogue. IMHO.

My favourite GG album, Three Friends, getting the axe already?


Oh, well...

All of these albums are great, but the one I listen to the least is In a Glass House.

The Friends lets their less than stellar lyrical abilities take too much of a roll in the album. Also Peel The Paint has a f**king awful guitar solo Dead

Still a solid 7/10 though
I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

I really like Three Friends too, so I'm sad to see it go so soon. A bit surprised of the result here so far. More votes for Octopus than I expected.

Totally agree. One of least favourites, but my vote goes to the debut.
