| Fantastic album, isn't it? Better than any Genesis album, I think. Still, I voted for Genesis; more highlights for me than GG. |

That's hard...hmmm. I've heard more/listened to Genesis much longer than Gentle Giant. I'll go with Genesis. |

Man, I sat there for easily two or three minutes trying to decide. Then I remembered The Lamb. So...Genesis wins, but by a real small nose. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

Crap. I don't know. A few months ago, I would have said Genesis without a doubt but since then I have REALLY been getting into GG. I can't vote until I have heard most of GG.

| Genesis hands down. Very few bands could come close to Genesis during Genesis' prime (Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound). The complexity of their compositions, the quality of the musicianship, the feel, everything was there. |

"None of them" followed by a triple-yuck? Are you sure you're at the right website? Anyhow...two of the great prog bands, my vote goes to Giant. Albums (through Interview) were more consistent. Although, I will say that Giant's "sell out" period was far more pathetic than Genesis' was. |

Genesis is now at 66.6% thanks to my input in the poll. I love Gentle Giant...Octopus is one of the top prog albums...but Selling England by the Pound...that's just a masterpiece. ------------- "I'm proud that I've never had a drug problem or complained that success sucks and shot myself like Kurt Cobain." - Chuck Schuldiner (R.I.P) |

GG were the more versatile musicians and more complex, Genesis wrote more melodic music with a greater variety of emotions. A very honourable draw. Two of the very best. |

You can't be serious... Genesis doesn't beign to compare with GentleGiant... To say Genesis was more emotionally strong is just blatant misunderstanding of GG... ------------- Epic. |

Are you saying that, because someone finds Genesis more emotionally fulfilling than GG, that they must not understand GG. Bovine Faeces I say. |

Undoubtedly, Genesis (Gabriel era preferably)...
