No votes for "favorite": Civilian and In Concert.

Based on these results, more than half of the On-Reflection subscribers consider Octopus, The Power and the Glory, and/or Free Hand to be Gentle Giant's best albums.

Remember that this was a vote for favorite albums, not just good albums. Most of the non-winning albums are still highly rated by many fans.

	The Power And The Glory		 1 *Tie*

The most interesting result here, I think, is that The Power And The Glory was ranked at the top of the "favorite" category, but hardly mentioned in the "recommended to a new listener" category. It seems that people think The Power And The Glory is an album that you have to hear a lot before you can appreciate, whereas Free Hand and Octopus are more immediately likable.

Thanks to everyone who voted!
