I can't vote, like I can't choose between my mother and my father. Caravan, Gentle Giant and Gong are three of my favourites ever.
But I surely I don't understand why Rush  is so over rated.
If I could do express my vote, this should be:
1) Caravan, Gentle Giant, Gong (in alphabetic order)
at least more 7453 other names and then:
7456) Rush

my vote is now in the box , it was surely for Caravan , they're really underrated more than Rush are overrated ! i knew since the first beginning that neither Gong nor Caravan had the chance to win this poll ! but i thought maybe i was wrong , but my records was always right concerning Progressive in general since 1968 , i have nothing against GG & Rush , they're both good bands , but really don't know why they're overrated !! i have all there materials , and i can really tell < nothing Captivating > !

Tough choice for me between Rush and Caravan - 2 entirely different bands but both fantastic, in my opinion. Gong would be my third choice.
Gentle Giant is a favorite among prog rock fans but I couldn't put them in the same league as the other 3.

This is quite hard, I can however count away Rush, since they are terrible. And that leave Gentle Giant, Gong and Caravan, all bands are fantastic. But I think I'll have to remove Caravan since I only own 2 albums by them.
Gong vs. Gentle Giant, I'll go with Gong today, but tomorrow it might as well be Gentle Giant. |
I'm a fair weather fan who thinks Rush ain't all that terrible; they just had a rough start. Gong and Caravan are strong (especially with Shamal and Richard Sinclair's contributions on the latter), but all involved can't match the sheer intensity of the Giants. If only if it wasn't for that (again) Giant For a Day thing...

1. Rush
2. Gentle Giant
3. Caravan
I can't stand Gong's Flying Teapot albums, but what I've heard from their jazz fusion period sounds promising.

Caravan, because... I'm always in the mood for their music? Hard to tell why, but they're my favorite of the four.
But, I do like GG a lot also, Gong too though a tiny bit less; never was much of a Rush fan.
