   Welcome, we seem to share the same tastes!
some other 70's prog bands I'd recommend based on your tastes:
Van Der Graaf Generator (UK)  
Very Dark, with great vocals and sax/organ
Focus (Dutch) 
great guitar/flute/yodelling!  very classical and jazzy
Renaissance (UK) 
closest prog comes to pure 'symphonic' but also folksy
Caravan (UK) 
jazzy but very accesibly and great Live albums
PFM (Italian) & Banco (Italian)
very similar Italian Symphonic bands, great place to enter Italian scene

P.S.: Gentle Giant is great!  So is Tull, ELP, Yes, etc., but i can barely get into King Crimson after 1971.

	Hi everyone! I'm Gabriel from Argentina, I'm 17 years old and I've been getting into Prog music for about a year. I joined this forum because I'd like to learn about more bands that I may like. I' ve been mostly listening to the prog giants, like Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, etc. and some Argentinian prog (which I have only recently discovered it existed!) like La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros and Crucis . What I like the most is Yes, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and Gentle Giant. I particularly enjoy vocal harmonies (either simple or complex), the lovely medieval style of GG, the guitar style of Howe and Gilmour, and the flute-soloing of Ian Anderson. Well, I'm not sure if i'm supposed to say something else, so that's it for now.
