Re: The best work of Gentle Giant.

Back in the day, I remember seeing GG on their final tour in Chicago. When they played "Betcha Thought". some in the audience even booed. At that time, I was so disappointed in them that I didn't even give Missing Piece a fair chance. As Time Drifts by, and as I got more desperate for their music, much of that album has grown on me. Civilian has too. It would be very difficult to name any favorites as at different times, they're all my favorites! I do love On Reflection, Playing the Game, 3 Friends...I love em all!

Another DVD to get is GG at the GG. Not only to see this incredible band live, but to hear just a little bit of Kerry's newly composed music for the DVD (the intro and menu music). Just that justifies getting the DVD for me.

Are any of you on the GG list, On-Reflection? Info here: http://www.blazemonger.com/GG/

Some of you here know that I am involved with a few CD projects of music inspired by GG fans, and we do have a little bit of GG in the music besides the inspiration. On "Let Truth Reveal the Beast" by Dan Bornemark & Helena Josefsson, John Weathers (Pugwash), the GG drummer on everything after Three Friends, sings a bit of backup there. It's in the playlist here on AM. We also have a new CD due very soon where John programmed the drum track for a song by John Eyre (John can no longer play drums for medical reasons). I would hope that someday I could say there is a bit more participation from other band members, but that remains to be seen.
