I had trouble limiting this from a top 20 to a top 12 and I feel I cannot cut the list anymore. These are in chronological order. I can't say I favor any one more than another because they're all so unique.
Mister Class and Quality? The Advent of Panurge Raconteur, Troubadour The Runaway An Inmates Lullaby A Reunion In a Glass House Proclamation Playing the Game No God's a Man On Reflection Free Hand

I used to dislike "Think of Me with Kindness" and call it the only bad song they did until "Timing". I'm glad I changed my mind, because it really is a beautiful song, although I'm not too fond of the trombone/trumpet (?). I think the song would have benefitted from either a fuller arrangement with multiple horns and maybe even strings or a very sparse one with only piano and voice.

No real order, and subject to change:
The Runaway Just The Same Empty City The Moon is Down Funny Ways Playing The Game In a Glass House A Reunion Prologue Two Weeks in Spain Gentle Giant are definitely one of the best bands for openers.

I have seen it mentioned a couple of times, but The House, The Street, The Room is perhaps my favorite GG track. I think it needs more sugar.
