I found it hard to match Free Hand against Three Friends; now I find it hard to match Three Friends against Octopus. I would find it easier to match Free Hand (probably my favourite GG studio album) against Octopus, so I vote for Three Friends.

The two of them are not my favorites but I'll be for Octopus this time.

Both are magnificent - and yet I'd favour ATT and FH ahead of both. Just for the sake of Schooldays I voted for Three Friends.

Three Friends easily is one of the best
 
Octopus was a massive disappointment for me as my first GG album

Three Friends.  I suppose Octopus is going to win, which puzzles me greatly. 

Actually, the true puzzlement lies in the disqualification of The Power And The Glory and In A Glass House.  I had no idea Three Friends was so high in the fans' esteem...

Three friends was just too short.  Musically, I do like Octo better.  Both are essential members of my music collection.

But if you could choose not to choose which one would you choose not?  This is important because if you are posting on the thread then it may be obligatory.

Maybe Octopus shows more the brilliance and versatility of GG, but Three Friends is a more enjoyable listen for me, so I vote for the Friends.

Tree Friendsi find a bit confused but with some exelent highlights, where i find Octopus to be very relaxed, and solid all the way trough. My vote goes to Octopus.
 
NB: Havent followed the match, How did the "The Glass House" come down ?
Would have expected that to be a favorite.  
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

Octopus beat Glass House in the semi final. 32 to 27.
