Both great bands, and I can't say one is better. I love them both and listen to each of them depending on what mood I'm in.

hmmm both were incredible, amazing, inspired bands
Genesis wins in my book, but that doesn't make them better
I just always thought they had more feeling, if less flash

I love them both but if they were both drowning and I had to choose one to save, it would have to be Gentle Giant......RI.P. Genesis

My personal favourite group of the two is Genesis.
But the best album for me is Acquiring The Taste (by GG).

I've grown to like GG quite a bit as of late, but they can't topple Genesis in my view.

Very different bands.. I'm actually more familiar with Gentle Giant than Genesis, and while I dont like some GG stuff (In a glass house , for example) they get my vote.

hmmm...
Genesis is obviously the more important, influential group
but who's better....
Gentle Giant hits me hard intellectually, really the only song to hit
the other side of my brain was Schooldays which tugs at the emotions of
remembering long lost friends, and carefree days long past
Genesis hits the emotions hard, but never really felt....challenged.

One more thing, Gentle Giant is much more than complex Fusion Progressive.
Now my vote...of course goes for:
But that's onlt a matter of taste.

I don't know, Ivan. After all, Gentle Giant were much more virtuosic than Genesis.

just glacing through some of the other sections here at PA's, I can see
why some people don't like these kind of threads. I mean really,
can two groups be more dissimilar than Gentle Giant and Genesis.
Now if we were talking about two groups who have been accused of being
'mathematical and souless' like..... Gentle Giant and King Crimson that
might be a bit more interesting.

Mathematical and souless, King Crimson? They might be virtuosic but I am not sure soulless is the right word to use in this instance.

"Soulfulness" depends a whole lot on the music itself: the more complex the composition, the harder it is to fit emotion in there. It's a lot easier to pour your soul into a simple minor blues-type thing than some 20th century serialist composition.
