I’ve encountered a lot of different rankings of these albums so I’d love to hear what you all think. Vote and, if you feel like it, write your ranking of the albums too

| Love them all, but Octopus is the one where the eight tracks hang together best, I think. |

It was always very hard for me to choose my favourite album of this great band. During the times, I frequently changed my preference between Acquiring The Taste, In A Glass House, The Power And The Glory and Free Hand. But, for some time, my preference has come to be for In A Glass House. So, In A Glass House must be my vote.

| All great albums, so it’s hard to choose. I voted for the Power and the Glory, but I could have gone any other way tomorrow. |

I'm really not sure why, but Free Hand is and has always been my go-to GG album (aside from Playing the Fool, that is). ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

| Imo, all are at least very good. I wasn't going to vote since I'm not that familiar with a few but voted for Octopus anyway. |
