Gentle Giant was, is, and always will be my favorite progressive group. When I discovered them, they were on their way down and I was just beginning to get into the genre. My close buddies were getting into Yes and I was not quick to get on the bandwagon. I was, am, and always will be a Brian Wilson fanatic and I could not easily make the transition from the "pocket symphonies" (not my term) of Pet Sounds to 20-minute opuses with obtuse lyrics and long guitar and synthesizer solos. | Gentle Giant was, is, and always will be my favorite progressive group.
