I love how my two favorites are up for elimination. I like Octopus just a tiny bit more, but there are several albums I would have liked to see go before Acquiring the Taste. Oh well. |

I'm the Tiebreaker, Acquiring the Taste is the BEST album of Gentle Giant's magnificent discography. ------------- Poseidon wants to Acquire the Taste of the Fragile Lamb - Derek Adrian Gabriel Anderson, singer of the band Geneyesontle |

Octopus for sure. Acquiring the taste gives me more of a "standard issue progressive rock" feel and doesn't quite capture Gentle Giant's wonky yet intelligently structured style that I love them for. ------------- I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't |

Easily ATT. I don't like Octopus all too much, and Knots is way better live.

| I love Octopus... possibly my favorite GG album all together. AtT is good as well but it's my least favorite out of their "classic" period. |
