PFM Vs. Gentle Giant

Both stellar groups, but I have to go with PFM. I'd say that Gentle Giant actually gets the edge a little as far as putting out consistent albums, but PFM's highs are some of the highest that there are. Appena Un Po has to be one of the top 20 songs of all time; so beautiful.

	Both favourite bands of mine when I joined this site, and neither do I return to much. Gentle Giant has many more albums I really like than PFM, but I'll compare the first three albums of each as those are my favourites by both bands (I don't include Quelli). - Gentle Giant vs. Storia di un Minuto: I'd give the edge to Storia (my favourite PFM album). - Acquiring the Taste vs. Per un Amico: Acquiring the Taste definitely takes it. - Three Friends vs. L'Isola di Niente: I adore "Via Lumiere" but Three Friends takes it. Gentle Giant it is, but PFM is extremely talented. If PFM had done a lot more more jazzy music like "Via Lumiere" and "Dove... Quando... (Parte II)" then I'd like them more.

	I voted for Gentle Giant. To be honest, I'm not too impressed with either band, but I really admire Gentle Giant's compositional prowess much more than PFM's.

	Both bands are glorious geniuses in their own right, but which is better? GG gets my vote, but *barely.* Per un Amico is my favorite foreign album ever, but Octopus and Power and the Glory are that much better.
