It is pretty much the same for me. Although these groups do not belong to my very favorite ones, I regard them with a lot of esteem. And without having a serious preference for one or the other, I go with GG to balance this poll.

I haven't heard enough Giant to make a real judgement, but I think Acquiring The Taste is one of my favourite albums in terms of how acquired it is and how memorable it is once acquired. Not voting here, though I think that in the end CTTE would destroy all.

Not easy to vote at all... Though I love GG's unique take on prog, Yes have always been at the top of my personal list of favourites, so my vote goes to them.

Both these bands are lovely. I'll cheat and vote for Gentle Giant because I like more of their songs. (because Yes only released about 25 songs during their classic period, kekeke)

Two great bands. I always liked Yes (well, always since I started listening to their albums), but I couldn't appreciate Gentle Giant in the beginning, except for Acquiring The Taste. Now I must say that GG's music has really grown on me, especially Three Friends and Octopus. GG's Giant In The Box is one of the best progressive rock video's I ever saw.
 
Still, I keep listening to Yes albums, and I like almost every album they did from the seventies a lot, but also the debut, 90125 and AWBH. Even when I heard them many, many times, they keep being exciting for me. So I vote for Yes.

I'm not able to completely understand Gentle Giant, so I have to go with Yes despite Jon's vocals.

Even though both have awesome and regrettable addtions to their discographies, there's absolutely no doubt in my my mind that Yes is the vote
Thank you, God of Rock, for this chance to kick ass
