Proclamation is actually people's favorite? I always found it was the kind of song that is 'interesting' but doesn't 'touch your soul'. Which isn't to say it isn't awesome.

Gentle Giant touching your soul? What songs are those?

A lot of them. Particularly Pantagruel's Nativity and Aspirations. I never bought into the notion that GG are 'soulless' music purely for the head.

I'll add Edge Of Twilight, A Reunion, His Last Voyage, Think Of Me With Kindness and Funny Ways to that list as well. Big smile

^ Great topic for a different thread - a response to the aforementioned notion of GG's music for the head.

Of course GG's music isn't just for the head. It's just as much, if not more, for the heart imo.

ASPIRATIONS
My Last.fm
Jazz-rock conspiracy? Zappa and Miles played at the same festivals in the
summer of '69 right BEFORE Hot Rats AND Bitches Brew were recorded.
