"Playing the Game". I find "Aspirations" much more interesting.

Proclamation is actually people's favorite? I always found it was the kind of song that is 'interesting' but doesn't 'touch your soul'. Which isn't to say it isn't awesome.

Gentle Giant touching your soul? What songs are those?

I have to vote for Proclamation here. Aspirations and Playing the Game are too good.

A lot of them. Particularly Pantagruel's Nativity and Aspirations. I never bought into the notion that GG are 'soulless' music purely for the head.

Between those three tracks, I will choose Aspirations as my least favourite, Playing The Game is really a nice track, I don't know why you guys voted it most.

^ 'Cause it's our least favorite. It's not like we can adjust our taste, right?

'Cause it was the least favorite for most people in the 3rd round. But if you mean it as a rhetorical question, like "Why? Why-y-y-y-y-y?!!", then I can't help you with that. Keep in mind: this is not a contest. It's a freaking poll. Like a survey. I think people (including myself) keep forgetting that.

Approve Yeah, I know. I thought it was one of the most beloved and celebrated GG tracks, I guess not? The Face apparently made it farther. Ermm
