Gentle Giant is too prog, bizarre, playful, and complex for my tastes, but I have to vote for them as the samples of van der graff from this website are terrible (in my opinion) with the cool "Killers" as an exception (it's still not that good)

Because of their very creative, playful and complex, yet cool music.

It is just one of 10000 polls "Who do you love more - mommy or daddy?" or "who do you want to sleep with - Keira Knightley or Scarlett Johansson?"

'Was It Real or did we dream. The days of children gone. Seagull's scream and pink ice cream and the deep blue sky And the waves seem high and the town brass band play on' 


Gentle Giant music for every mood and feeling... VdGG iis great for a nervous breakdown...

I'd choose Gentle Giant over Van der Graaf Generator any day. I think that VdGG are a too hyped. Don't get me wrong, they're good, they're just not as glorious as everybody seem to think, at least in my opinion.
