Knots and On Reflection probably. I'm not sure, they are all amazing.

My two favourites, Boys in the Band, and Funny Ways aren't listed, so.....On Reflection.

 

Really, though, how do you choose from such a stellar catalog of material?  If visual satisfaction were taken into account, Funny Ways from Giant on the Box would win for me.  Seeing Kerry go from cello to keys to vibes, then back to cello during this ONE SONG is an experience unto itself.

Schooldays....


top 3 or 5 alltime favorite prog song.  It 'hit' me hard first time I heard it, and still upon each listen  tickles the tear ducts with the beauty of the middle section of that song.

Very funny, I thought someone would figure out

Personnaly, I voted for Peel the paint with its amazing guitar solo, though I was sure Knots would win...

Still working my way through my GG collection, so far Raconteur Troubadour is my favourite. Also love Think Of Me With Kindness.

Proclamation isn't the best but it's highly underrated, it's a fantastic song! The song shows the bands ability to make funky riffs with simple harmony and also their ability to make complex and clever harmony that's almost makes your head hurt (but they are keeping it real so it sounds amazing), and also a combination of these two "formats"... A song of true genius. It has everything a prog song should have, nothing is missing.

To have play the song more then once I have to say the So Sincere is the song that hits me the most in the GG catalog. But it was hard to choose between that and Knots/On reflection (Vocal driven song appeals me very much!)
