1974. Gentle Giant goes to a new label that desperately wants a hit single. The band, being a pretty hard core prog unit was at a loss. Their decision - let's write something catchy and stupid. We'll see how it catches on.
The result was this.....
Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory b/w Playing the Game (WWA 1974)
It was not a hit and the band was then encouraged to do what they do best. As opposed to most other prog bands of the era, their stuff has aged well.
The Stores. The Chores. The Mainstream. The Oddball. The Serious. The Goofy. The Awesome. The Not So Awesome. 45's. 33's. The 'What Were They Thinking.' Stories from the Store. Observations from my armchair.
What's All This Then
Why should I care what this guy has to say?
The correct answer is that you shouldn’t. We’re all entitled to our opinions. Develop your own. I try to be sane and rational, but that may change with the level of caffeine intake.
