BTW, it's one of the most uplifting threads I've seen recently, a beam of light amid so many nihilist threads. Thanks to the starter, a fine idea!!! Star

I could name at least 20 since I started visiting last December.   I will mention only two.   The Flower Kings and Opeth.  Thank  you Prog Archives.   Hug

Although Civilian and Giant for a DAy are supposedly poor (never heard 'em, myself).

Well, that's because Gentle Giant is a respected and charismatic band among Prog ricles, with complete and excellent musicians, and they never were really subject of humiliation like you said, because they career was short compared to other Prog Rock bands, and they never explored a more mainstream music sound and left Prog Rock behind, they just stopped instead of doing bad stuff.

Free Hand, Glass House, or Power and the Glory are all good starting points. Octopus is also good, but I wouldn't consider it excellent, nor a good starting place (however, the song Knots is a prog anthem and should without a doubt be in the possession of EVERY SINGLE PROG FAN IN THE WORLD!)
 
I saw the power and the glory a little while ago in a CD store, but I didnt know if it was one of their good albums or not.
It quickly became my second favorite.

GG is mandatory for anyone who has even heard of prog. More so even than Yes or Genesis.

I disagree, Gentle Giant are a superb band in Symphonic Prog, really impressive, but by no reason they're more important or more essential than Genesis, this band is essential, defining in Prog Rock, wheter you like the factual music or not.

Actually I'd say Octopus is a good starting point because of it's accessibility, but the other 3 you mentioned win.
Yes, my sentence completion is "Gentle Giant" as well.

Yes, I find Octopus very accessible, but considering 'zoid is now a Magma-nite, I don't think it matters how accessible it is.

You know what else? In the blank space I'd also write "Genesis", because they were discovered by me thanks to PA too. And trust me, after hearing Tull, Focus, King Crimson, even Pink Floyd, I don't think they're mandatory at all Wink
