10.05.09 | I think 19 is my favorite. I've only heard Acquiring the Taste though. |
Jethro42
10.31.09 | Try 'Free Hand', 'Playing The Fool'(live)...
Their only downsides are their last 2 albums. |
greg84
08.31.11 | Cool list! I really like Alucard too. Raconteur Troubadour - def top10 for me. |
SWORD
08.31.11 | wow bro right on just switch wreck with mister class and quality and its perfect |
Jethro42
08.31.11 | @Greg thanks bro! Alucard definitely deserves a place out of a top 26 songs. No but seriously, I feel guilty about that one, good call, really. As for Raconteur Troubadour, I've always liked it, mainly when I got into the band. I happened to have it stuck in my head for hours.
@SWORD; Thanks man. I confess, I put Mr Class and Quality higher than that before (I did several editings here, phew). Couple of songs have been struggling to have a place in my top 10. |
Jethro42
08.31.11 | several edits* ..yes. |
Ovrot
08.31.11 | wreck is best
|
Jethro42
08.31.11 | Wreck is sometimes my #1 too. |
Jethro42
11.16.11 | Nope, Runaway is a great song, but I haven't as much pleasure listening to it as I had back in the 70's/80's. Minnear's xylophone solo is cool though. Also I've edited the list like 12 times and it's finally all fine to me. |
Jethro42
04.26.12 | They all have greatness (up to Interview included)
I think I'd start with Free Hand, In a Glass House and Octopus. Then, just go chronologically. P/ |

04.27.12 | Excellent list Jethro, this must have indeed required a lot of thought and time to put together.
My thoughts on it: I would have to have Schooldays on there somewhere. Upon first listen it simply took me to another place. I'd have to get peel the paint on there as well, the way it transcends from what sounds like a barclays advert to in your face rock is one of their most epic moments!!
I'm also tempted to put their song Design on there from their interview album, when i first listened to it, it was through headphones in the dark (don't ask) but it was a very hypnotic experience.
To put these songs on the list though would mean to remove some, and that would be diffucult seeing as the list is pretty much flawless. Well done!! |
Jethro42
04.27.12 | Thanks man. I agree, Schooldays deserves a place on that list. I kept on adding/removing Design that finally didnt make it but same for Peel the Paint, it would do the trick on a top 30 list. Nice to see a trve GG fan out there. P/ |
fsharptrit0ne
04.27.12 | awesome list jeth. in a glass house was one of the songs that got me into these guys m/ |
Hubcool
04.27.12 | Aw, no 'A Cry For Everyone'? :p But the list is good, I think I'd have the same top 5 |
Motiv3
04.27.12 | i just downloaded in a glass house last night, gonna listen to it soon. |
fsharptrit0ne
04.27.12 | get free hand and octopus too to start |
Jethro42
04.27.12 | Thanks guys.
@Hubcool, good call, but I'd put Think of me with Kindness before that one.
@Motiv, nice! Be prepared for a real treat.
@sharp, I couldnt have put it better.
Keep the P/ P/ing |
Voivod
04.27.12 | This list progs hard.
Song 23 is indeed excellent. |
Jethro42
04.27.12 | Thank you Vod, my friend. I'm jamming on Octopus atm. Album is P/ing fucking hard. Also, Schooldays is officially on the map now. |
Voivod
04.27.12 | Octopus is the only album I have from them. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.27.12 | GLass House does kill. |
Jethro42
04.27.12 | According to my infallible flair, I'd get In a Glass House, Free Hand and Three Friends next, Vod. Cos they all rawk harder. |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | I couldn't agree more. |
JamieTwort
05.02.12 | I'm really not as well acquainted with GG as I should be. In A Glass House is awesome but I haven't looked that much deeper into their discography yet. |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | As I pretty much know your tastes, get Octopus, Three Friends, Acquiring the Taste and the s/t first. Let them all the chance to grow on you. Especially Three Friends and ATT. En-joy!!! |
undertakerpt
05.02.12 | Listen to their discography in order, but stop when you get to "the missing piece" |
greg84
05.02.12 | I still need to listen to Three Friends. This band was awesome. |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | ^I agree undertakerpt, but I'd give to Missing Piece a listen. Their last album Civilian is way ''better'' though. Song Inside Out remains a classic GG' song for instance. |
JamieTwort
05.02.12 | Thanks Jethro, I'll check those out. |
undertakerpt
05.02.12 | Funny enough that was the only song that clicked with me as well, unexpected guitar line and a catchy vocal line in the verse. The rest of the album is pretty forgettable unfortunately. |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | yeah Greg, I'm 100% sure you're gonna enjoy Three Friends a lot. |
undertakerpt
05.02.12 | And wtf does m/ m/ m/ mean? |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | @ undertakerpt, You also got Shadow on the Street annnd this;

undertakerpt
05.02.12 | @sonic the plumber, you are obviously a virus on the interwebs and not a real person.
@jethro, I have read your Civilian review a couple of times, I will post a comment on there proving that I have read it for you. And shadows of the street is nice, purely because it's Kerry lol |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | P/ |
Dimor
05.02.12 | So much P/ in this list, how come i haven't come across this one before now. His Last Voyage is such an amazing song. |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | Hey it's never too late to P/ hard, bro. Giant music is Giant. G/ |
Dimor
05.02.12 | So much G/ in this list. Going to jam some Relayer now though and Y/ hard. |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | Y/ hard man. Gates of Delirium P/ so hard! Hell Y/ |
JamieTwort
05.02.12 | Jamming some Caravan right now P/ |
Jethro42
05.02.12 | So damn good band. Man I just bumped up If I Could do it all Over Again to a 4.5. I might change it to a classic eventually. It's that good. And I didnt mention In the Land od Grey and P/ink or For girls who Grow P/lump yet! |
Dimor
05.02.12 | P/ hard |
undertakerpt
05.03.12 | Can someone please explain to me what P/ means, what Y/ means, what G/ means and what M/ means? |
Jethro42
05.03.12 | Fucking P/ |
Jethro42
05.04.12 | His Last Voyage again and again |
undertakerpt
06.23.12 | This list should be displayed in a church |

A nice gentle giant cover by some guys. |
Jethro42
02.22.13 | Extremely well executed! Thanks for that, my friend. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
07.03.13 | Best band ever |
Jethro42
07.03.13 | It's up there, bro. |
ButteryBiscuitBass
07.03.13 | I found this list when looking through a Free Hand review. I love this band so much. |
Jethro42
07.03.13 | It's always nice to see a GG fan on sputnik. Keep on rating them ;)
I assume you've listened to ''Acquiring the Taste'' and the s/t |
ButteryBiscuitBass
07.03.13 | Yes Jethro, all good, not got round to rating a few yet and I haven't heard from interview onwards, as I've heard bad things. |
Jethro42
07.03.13 | Interview is the last that worth checking out, yes. However, their last 3 albums contain a very few great tracks. So if you dont want to miss them, get them all. |
beefshoes
12.15.13 | Awesome list Jethro. Glad to see that we agree on #1.
Such an awesome song. |
Jethro42
12.15.13 | Yeah it's their best song ever from their best album. |
Friday13th
12.16.13 | Nice, On Reflection is my top pick. Only song I'd include is The Boys in the Band which is my favorite instrumental of theirs. |
jmnewcomer18
12.16.13 | Haken - Cockroach King |
undertakerpt
12.16.13 | He's gotta do a top 50 if he wants to be staff |
Jethro42
12.16.13 | @Friday; I've been close to include The Boys in the Band. I thought about it more than once. Maybe one day, while I revise the list.
@Captain, when I'll be staff, pigs will fly.
@undertakerpt, you are too greedy! |
ButteryBiscuitBass
12.16.13 | HEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY
HOLD ON |
Jethro42
12.16.13 | @Captain, thank you kind sir. It takes me so long to write a quality review. Also without the help from Nag, I can't go very far. The fact is I don't master English enough. Finally, it's like you said; I don't have enough time, and it just doesn't interest me.
Good one, BBB |
gingras
12.31.15 | Great list Jethro. I agree with you on most of it and I definitely agree on your choice for the best song. IAGH rules ! |
Jethro42
12.31.15 | Cheers gingras. Let's spread some love for GG! ;) |
undertakerpt
01.01.16 | Ooooooon the edge of twiiliight whispering |
Jethro42
01.03.16 | whisper whisper
whisper whisper
Also, 19 really deserves to be higher, but I can't because of the first comment above. |
Koris
05.31.17 | Nice to see Wreck so high |
Jethro42
05.31.17 | Cheers bro. As for my fave GG song, it's more like ''In a Glass House'' as you can see, not ''The Runaway'', my bad. However, I think I put ''Runaway'' too low. |
HighHopes
06.03.20 | No "Think of Me with Kindness?" The light and sunny side of "His Last Voyage" my fave GG song |
Jethro42
06.03.20 | Yeah ''Think of me'' deserves a spot on here. Will try to do something. |
HighHopes
06.14.20 | Your list is very balanced. I think I have a Kerry / Phil singing bias.
|
DePlazz
06.12.21 | Playing the Game should be in here imo |
Jethro42
06.12.21 | Especially for its second part - instrumental |
frigyourgenre
06.12.21 | Nice list
|
Jethro42
06.12.21 | Thank you, I try my best. |
frigyourgenre
06.12.21 | In a glass house and free hand must be your favorite albums of them lol |
Jethro42
06.12.21 | You nailed it, dude. It's that obvious?
GG are consistently great from the debut to Interview included. |
DePlazz
06.25.21 | Pretty much agree with 1 at this point. Popped into my head the other day and can't get it out |
Jethro42
06.25.21 | Yeah that violin...that guitar, and that song! |
