Well, I was kind of surprised to find no thread of this type through search. So after seeing the King Crimson thread, I decided to make one for my other favorite band.
My list: 10) The Face 9) Memories of Old Days 8) Knots 7) On Reflection 6) In a Glass House 5) The Runaway 4) Playing the Game 3) Proclamation 2) As Old As You're Young 1) The Boys in the Band What about you? |

Pantagruel's Nativity
Just the Same On Reflection Free Hand His Last Voyage I Lost My Head Aspirations No God's a Man Prologue Schooldays It's amazing how many great songs I had to leave out. It's also amazing how Octopus, maybe their strongest album, doesn't contribute a single song. That's how good this band is. |

Always tough to think of a GG list because they just have so many great tunes. It's really astonishing to actually look back on all those albums and rarely find a bum song, or a song out of place.
1. The Runaway 2. On Reflection (Live versions in particular) 3. The Advent Of Panurge (Live versions as well) 4. The Edge Of Twilight 5. In A Glass House 6. Proclamation 7. Experience 8. Raconteur Troubadour 9. His Last Voyage 10. Schooldays Edited by Fox On The Rocks - August 26 2012 at 23:22 |

I think it's a testament to this band's consistency that all these lists have so little in common. For most other bands, there's a short list of tracks that are on almost everybody's list. Not for Gentle Giant.

Just turned on The Runaway and the volume was a bit LOUD! Nearly busted my eardrums.
But a top 10... I could really pick every song from Octopus but I'll go: 1. The Runaway 2. Proclamation 3. The House, the Street 4. Peel The Paint (love when it gets heavy!) 5. The Boys In The Band 6. Raconteur 7. Free Hand (I'm not good with orders, Free Hand is just about my favorite album by them. But it's impossible to put these songs on a 'top' anything! 8. In A Glass House 9. Pantagruel's Nativity (that really has a weird sound to it) 10. Just The Same And can I just say how amazing this band is? A round of applause for Gentle Giant!  |

Listening to In A Glass House again (the full album, of course) and I realize "How did In A Glass House not get on my #1??" so that's my #1 Gentle Giant song. Don't know where to move The Runaway so I'll just leave it at that!
