Gentle Giant unfortunately are under appreciated despite arguably being the best instrumentalists in prog They are masters of counterpoint Listening to a whole album of that style could be tedius but for those who appreciate that style and lole to follow the melody streams it is heaven on Earth
Hope you'll listen to more of these guys, I just searched for the song and your reaction was like the 1st vid I was curious. Gentle giant will alway be by far in my top 10 fav bands of all time across all genres
My favorite show was Asbury Park at the Paramount in '78 - like 10 people were in attendance (horrible thunderstorm plus they were NOT well known in the US) - it was like a personal concert - Absolutely Amazing. They do have a weird wired prog sound but their musicianship was incredible - both with instruments and their voices. So glad you even gave them a thought - Thanks to your subscriber who asked for it.
Musicians WISH they were as talented today as GG was in the 70’s. What other bands are capable musically to do what they did? Their instrumental depth is, was and will probably never be matched.
Gentle Giant are definitely unique. At the "first contact" you can flicker your ears a bit ... but it's worth sticking to it. I think a good introductory song is "In A Glass House" from the album of the same name.
New types of music are odd only because we're unfamiliar with them. GG is unique for many reasons - their classical background, their multi-instrumental skill (more than 50 instruments!), their writing skill weaving instrument parts together to form one sound (which is why one might have difficulty picking out individual instruments in some sections) and their 11 studio albums, double live album and countless bootlegs. This band has been my favorite ever since I heard them live in the early 70s! There are dozens of excellent bands that emerged during this period, but none this diverse and unique. I believe their guitarist Gary Green just got a star in the musical hall of fame! Cheers!
@@TeezMcGee Dude, I kid you not, I literally asked Santa for sound proofing tiles because my neighbor is deaf in one ear. Looking forward to seeing what you get and if it works. Saw some awesome ones on Etsy and realized that was a job for Santa🤪
You need to react to some Yes and Jethro Tull. I'd suggest "Roundabout" by Yes and "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull. Both in the progressive rock genre. I think you're gonna dig it.
While I do like this album Inter*view, they had more albums prior to this one. After this album their music got much more conventional, hardly sounding like the same band. This band is well worth exploring, though.
Hope you are doing well Teez!
I’m still out here on my job family, I’m doing good my friend 🙌
Thanks for showing us some love! Keep up the good work!

One of the best bands EVER.
I've seen them a few times back in the day.
I'm a big fan.
Thank you.

As with Zappa: it is something else!
Zappa was a big fan of Gentle Giant!
But a very good else!!
Google Gentle Giant lyrics to really appreciate their Shakespearean genius.
One of my top 5 bands. Heard someone call it unpredictable music. I think it fits. I use to call them medieval rock, wich also fits.
interesting group of musicians.....endlessly creative, but always Gentle Giant

The 'In a Glass House' album is the best place to start off with this band imo
At 3:22 bro got that 😤 face lmao! At that moment he knew Gentle Giant straight RIPS!
"I don't know whether to like it or not".....wow....At least you're honest.

Love how you are decorating that closet. Super snazzy and pink. 😜
Going to get some sound proof material and more posters as well ❤️

Definitely not mainstream! 🤔😊 A very Unique sound . Category... Genre unspecified!
PROG IS A TRIP (medieval funk? really?)
Love Gentle Giant to bits. They were only interested in the music - the rest was BS - I have all of their albums
This was my introduction to them 🔥🔥🔥
No other band sounds like GG.
That GONG! Whoa!
They go from chamber music to Black Sabbith hardness. The true meaning of English progressive rock.
Easily the best Prog Rock band (1st wave). No contest. The albums Octopus and Free Hand are their best.
I’d add In a Glass House to that list😅
Wanna get blow away? Watch the Gentle Giant video, live at Long Beach: th-cam.com/video/csA2qxbIfEU/w-d-xo.html
magnificent!

This band is well worth exploring, though.
GG music has to be listened to often and intensively. This is not a good-mood dance band.
Nice!!!!
