I have yet to listen to The Power and the Glory and Acquiring the Taste, but I would say that Octopus and In A Glass House are the best I've heard. Aside from "Peel the Paint", I would say Three Friends is my least favorite.

I've never been able to get into GG all that much though I respect what they were trying to do. Anyway, I went through the first 8 albums again with this thread in mind and came up with this order. Octopus Power and the Glory Three Friends Acquiring the Taste Gentle Giant Free Hand Glass House Interview

Free Hand (5/5) Acquiring the Taste (5/5) Giant (4.5/5) In a Glass House (4/5) Three Friends (3/5)
-still judging The Power & the Glory and I haven't heard the rest. I tried to keep it simple. It's sort of difficult doing these ratings without being like (4.3587/5).

For me, GG's best period was with this three album stretch: The Power And The Glory Free Hand Interview Topped off by the live album Playing The Fool which showed them at their best. That period represents for me the most mature and sophisticated period for them.

Just my top 5:
1. The Power And The Glory 2. Octopus 3. Three Friends 4. Gentle Giant 5. In A Glass House
I only own "The Power And The Glory", but it's one of my favourites now - nothing quite like it, and I love the obscurity!

My top 3 would be:
In a Glass House The Power and the Glory Octopus
But really all of those 7 or so from the classic era have something good to offer
