This should be interesting.... I have a couple of interesting questions for the people mentioned above. Trouserpress: If you could only live with one Gentle Giant album, which would it be? Man Overboard: If you could only live with one TFK album, which would it be? King of Loss: If you could only live with one prog metal album, which would it be? Stonebeard: If you could only live with one neo prog album, which would it be? Four impossible questions, methinks. Let's see what happens. |

I bet... Trouser will say that he couldn't possibly live with only one... King of Loss will say Scenes from a Memory... And I really don't know about the others... -------------

| I agree with KOL. Stoney, I don't know. MO will probably say Unfold The Future, but after a bit of internal debate. Trouser will be the hardest one. Octopus maybe? I really don't know. |

I'm not certain that I'd say Unfold The Future... that would by
my first guess, but then I'd think about it for a bit. I would
probably go with Stardust We Are, possibly with great regret, because
of their long-form albums, it's the one I've spent the least time
with... therefore it's also the album I have the most to gain
from.  Unfold The Future
would definitely be a sure thing, but I would always regret abandoning
the albums I haven't spent as much time with, because there's always so
much more to learn... GAH! I suppose I'd pick Unfold The Future and cry myself to sleep at night wondering about the truth depth of the remainder of SWA Disc 2 that I haven't memorized!   What a horrible evil topic.   ------------- https://soundcloud.com/erin-susan-jennings" rel="nofollow - Bedroom guitarist". Composer, Arranger, Producer.

I remember Trouser said in the Favorites thread that his fave GG album was IAGH, but he's also said that a true GG fan likes all of their classic albums equally. I've got a good memory for these things! -------------

Welllll... if he's got a favorite GG album, but true GG fans are
supposed to like them equally... he's either not a true GG fan,
or he's transcended logic. It being Trouserpress, I'd suggest the
latter.

So, as the topic starter, I'll keep track. Trouserpress: Still unknown. Man Overboard: Looks like UtF. Although he'll cry himself to sleep at night. And start smoking again. King Of Loss: Still unknown. Stonebeard: Still unknown. |

That is the most likely source... stonebeard only talks of big game, but he really only has the mp3's from the site as his Neo-Prog source (he may have some Neo-Prog albums, but that I don't know). I mean, I have more neo-prog albums than him. -------------

ITs so easy to guess And I don't consider BE to be Progressive Metal really, seriously, how can you call an album with 2 Progressive Metal songs/15 songs to be Progressive Metal??? |
But I'd surely miss one of them Posted By: Snow Dog

If i could only live with ONE GG album, I would put Octopus, Power and the Glory, Glass House, Interview and Free Hand on a mp3 player.

Hmmm. So King of Loss still refuses to talk.... About stoney. I know. But still, he's been preaching it a lot recently. But hell, how about we add tux. Tux: You've been included. If you had to live with one neo album, which would it be? Now I have to keep up with 5 different people. I've gotten an answer from one. Come on people. This is a hell of a lot of fun. |

Sorry for the silence chaps! You had to start a thread relating directly to me during the first week I've been away from my desk in months, didn't you? H'anyway... ONE GG album? Gah! *implodes* If you reeeeeeally reeeeeeeeally pushed me I'd probably say IAGH or Playing the Fool. IAGH is probably their absolute studio peak, but with PTF I'd get double LP running time (let us not forget that GG albums tend to be a little on the brief side, so that's a DEFINITE boon), a reasonable cross-section of all the classic albums (no Interview tracks though
...Though I'd rather gnaw my own legs off. |
) and also the fun and frolics of a live performance. Y'know, after reading back those arguments I think I've managed to convince myself. Yes friends, I've confounded you all! If I had to live with just one GG album it would have to be:

Aaah, we have another answer! Trouser: Playing the Fool. Man Overboard: Unfold the Future. I guess. King of Loss: Doesn't want to tell us yet. Stonebeard: Has no idea what's going on. Tux: Hasn't responded.

Alright, another answer. Trouserpress: Playing the Fool. Man Overboard: Unfold the Future. Even though his life will be filled with overwhelming sadness at the thought of it. King of Loss: Being annoying. Stoney: Yoshimi battles the pink robots. Tux: ... You there? |

Well, he hasn't responded in this thread at all yet. I mean, he wasn't orginally included, so his name wasn't in the topic title, so it didn't catch his eye, so he didn't respond, so we ask where he is.

Its neither actually, if you consider BE a Progressive Metal release, yes, but my second favorite Progressive Metal release isn't SFAM. |

So your choice is Be. Alrighty then. For kicks, what's 2. I&W? |

Hmmmm. Right. I've about given up on you. Ok then! Trouserpress: Playing The Fool. After he gnaws his legs off. Man Overboard: Unfold the Future. After he starts smoking again and cries himself to sleep at night. King Of Loss: Be. Stonebeard: Doesn't own neo-prog albums. Tux: Yeah, this is over.
Hmmmm. Part of me feels like this was a lot of fun. But looking at Trouser's and MO's answers above, I also feel like a terrible person.
