What Made Gentle Giant "Prog"?

Featuring Gentle Giant, welcome to the first episode of "Is it Prog?", where we break down what makes bands progressive, or not.
We're starting with a band that is obviously a progressive rock band to establish the format of the show, so bear with me. Gentle Giant is known for their progressive prowess; lush harmonies, varied time signatures, conceptual albums, far-reaching instrumental ability, multifaceted genre incorporation, and the kitchen sink.
If you like the video, give it a like and subscribe to the channel, we'll be getting into more controversial and varied bands and albums in the near future.
We just launched a Patreon! Making music content on TH-cam is hard, the monetization system is harsh on music clips and we put a lot of effort into our videos for little payoff. Help support the channel on Patreon so that we can dedicate more of our time to it, and you'll find all kinds of perks and bonus content!
