They all have their own significance to me. Even the ones you did not place
in the poll. Octopus has Advent of Panurge. That song blows me away.
One of the most original songs I've ever heard. I love when they play it live
and use recorders. Octopus gets my vote.

Acquiring the Taste for me.
I love Three Friends (and Schooldays) just as much, but Acquiring... was the first I heard. And Pantagruel's Nativety is on it.
Interview is also a very good album, I even like it more than a couple of the albums in the poll.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

In a Glass house has very good individual songs, but as a whole album my vote goes to Octopus.

^It's a "recorder," but yea, that's what it is.
For me, the best is a toss up between Free hand and In a Glass House.

that really is a tough call, I like what this dude said in another thread:
Each GG song is like a whole album within itself.
makes sense to me!
