gentle giant - octopus and free hand

Funny, everyone always recommends Octopus. Personally i find that The Power & The Glory rapes it.

Octopus would be #4, behind Aquiring the Taste, Power/Glory, and the top o the heep, Freehand.

Another vote for 'Free Hand'. And the s/t debut is worth it for 'Giant' alone.

i haven't heard that entire album yet. i have heard one song...the one on the progarchives sampler, and i love it.

Playing The Game? Thats a very good indication of the entire album, and the level of quality it's at. If you like that, then you can't go wrong with buying it.

early genesis right? Ive listened to Foxtrot but i didnt find it really good...can someone recommend another album from genesis?!

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Better production thatn the previous releases and better structure to the tracks.

YES have been mentioned but my favorite is 'Relayer', not mentioned enough prob due to Wakeman not being in it.
Sound Chaser is the stand out track, just listen to the best guitar work in a YES album. Close second, The Gates of Delerium
