Returning to the original topic - 3 Friends is a very good album, but probably not the best place for a GG novice to start - Acquiring The Taste and Octopus are much more representative of their style. It's probably the closest they came to straightforward rock music in their pre 1976 albums, and for that reason is often considered to be the joker in the pack. Even GG fans who don't get the album as a whole generally acknowledge that 'Peel The Paint' is one of their all time classics. Over most of the album the music and lyrics blend together seamlessly to describe the different characters, in a way that few other prog acts really managed - only VDGG spring to mind.
