Memories of old days is a great song!

I quite enjoyed the unpopular The Missing Piece - the singer, for once, wasn't singing it that clipped, affected away that rendered a lot of Gentle Giant stuff virtually unlistenable to my ears.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

What's with all the love for "Memories Of Old Days?" Please don't make me dust off The Missing Piece. Please!!!

"Cogs In Cogs" for me.

Not a fan of the band; I like some of their material but more often than not they fail me on the emotional level. But I take the challenge and let me be inspired to go through some of their songs; after all I don't listen to the band that often, so my opinion is not that certain.
Anyway, I always loved Alucard;
Cogs in Cogs I find quite enjoyable;
Memories of Old Days is perhaps not a masterpiece but I can still relate to it;
Prologue has some moments I like but doesn't work as a coherent whole for me;
Wreck - really not.

The vocals on Memories are terrible. GG are one of my fave bands but this song is overrated

On that scale...Alucard sounds very dated and Wreck is just that IMHO.
