They are all great - but I think ELP needs some support !!

Well of course Genesis.

From this list Yes and Genesis, but Kayak is very good too

King Crimson and Gentle Giant.

They share little in commen with the commen symphonic elements of the the others.  You won't find any sweeping majestic side longs with multiple movements in their albums, their songs had a peverse.... pop element to them.  Let me explain.  Pop relies up 'hooks' whether vocal or musical.  Could it not be argued that Gentle Giant did the same... though instead of relying on a hook, their songs were laden with multiple hooks both vocal and instrumental.  Just thinking out loud, so don't flame me too hard if you disagree hahahah.  Seriously though, I'd like to hear why people consider them symphonic.  It has bearing on another discussion I've got going on elsewhere. My vote..... Yes.

Mine too... and I agree with you, my dear fellow team member! As a matter of fact, neither GG, nor VDGG, nor KC are symphonic. They have some symphonic elements in their sound, but not enough to be really defined symphonic as, for instance, Yes, Genesis or ELP.

hahahha talk about a blast from the past.... well at least I wasn't TOTALLY full of it.    I always thought their eclectic nature was more Gentle Giant than the symphonic elements they do have. 

I'll go for Gentle GIant
