Q: Wow, you're serious about GG, aren't you. (queelis, last.fm)

A: Yeah, I even have just started a gist with faq covering my Gentle Giant addiction not to repeat myself — https://gist.github.com/manpages/5728901

Q: What are your fav [Gentle Giant] albums? (anaon, last.fm)

A: Hehe, it's a haaard question :D Historically, my favorite album was "Three Friends" and favorite song was "Funny Ways" because those were album and song (respectively) that forced me into listening more and more of GG. Later on I realized that possibly my favorite album as whole is "The Power and The Glory" because of how awesomely interconnected "Proclamation" and "Validectory" are and overall musical intensity. Nowadays, I tend to enjoy "Octopus" the most because of "A Cry For Everyone", "Knots" and "Think Of Me With Kindness". Those aren't the most intense or even complex songs by Gentle Giant, but lately I feel urge to listen to those over and over again. But I would say that the album that brings the most peace to me and support meditations is "Acquiring the Taste" because of "Pantagruel's Nativity", "Edge of the Twilight" and "The Moon is Down". "In a Glass House" is somehow under my radar but I listen to it ocassionally, "Gentle Giant" is also fundamental... Albums past 1974 make me [a little] sad. But it still is Gentle Giant and I sometimes listen to those as background music. I also do that with pieces by "Simon Dupree and the Big Sound"... Uh... Almost 1000 characters :D
