{"id":129,"count":14,"description":"<b>Gentle Giant<\/b>\u00a0were an English\u00a0progressive rock\u00a0band active between 1970 and 1980. The band were known for the complexity and sophistication of its music and for the varied musical skills of its members. All of the band members, except Malcolm Mortimore, were multi-instrumentalists. Although not commercially successful, they did achieve a cult following.<sup id=\"cite_ref-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>\r\n\r\nThe band's onetime stated aim was to \"expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of becoming very unpopular\",<sup id=\"cite_ref-2\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>\u00a0although this stance was to alter significantly with time.\r\n\r\nGentle Giant's music was considered complex even by progressive rock standards, drawing on a broad swath of music including folk, soul, jazz, and classical music. Unlike many of their progressive rock contemporaries, their \"classical\" influences ranged beyond the\u00a0Romantic\u00a0and incorporated\u00a0medieval,\u00a0baroque, and\u00a0modernist\u00a0chamber music\u00a0elements. The band also had a taste for broad themes for their lyrics, drawing inspiration not only from personal experiences but from\u00a0philosophy\u00a0and the works of both\u00a0Fran\u00e7ois Rabelais\u00a0and\u00a0R. D. Laing. In 2015 they were recognised with the lifetime achievement award at the\u00a0Progressive Music Awards.","link":"https:\/\/www.rockdownload.org\/en\/download\/gentle-giant","name":"Gentle Giant","slug":"gentle-giant","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gentle Giant Discography Download - Rock Download (EN)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gentle Giant discography download.
