Gentle Giant is a British progressive rock band from London, England, active between 1970 and 1980.
He is known for the complexity and sophistication of his melodies, which borrow from different genres such as progressive rock, classical music, medieval music, jazz and rock.
All members of the group, apart from the first two drummers Martin Smith and Malcolm Mortimore, are multi-instrumentalists.
The band members' goal was, according to lead singer Derek Shulman, to "push the boundaries of contemporary popular music, at the risk of being unpopular."
Indeed, sales never matched the commercial peaks of other contemporary groups such as Pink Floyd, Yes or Genesis, and Gentle Giant is often considered one of the most experimental groups of the 1970s.
Gong is an international progressive rock band, originally from Paris, France.
The band incorporates elements of jazz and space rock into their music. It was formed by Australian musician Daevid Allen, who first played with the Daevid Allen Trio in 1963 (formed by Hugh Hopper on bass and Robert Wyatt on drums) then with Soft Machine in 1966, which he left in 1967 following a forced exile in France.
Gong's first formation in 1967 included Allen (vocals, guitar), Gilli Smyth (vocals, backing vocals) and Didier Malherbe (flute, saxophone) to which was added the short-lived drummer Rachid Houari in 1969. Guitarist Steve Hillage joined the variable geometry formation in 1972.
Jethro Tull is a British rock band from Blackpool, England.
Formed in the second half of the 1960s, his music is marked by the very particular vocal style of leader Ian Anderson (a nasal but remarkably accurate voice), his unique work as a flutist, and by unusual and often complex song constructions.
The band's music incorporates elements of classical and Celtic music, blues (especially in its early days) as well as alternative art rock and progressive rock phases.
In 1988, the band won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Album of the Year.
Despite this, it is difficult to pinpoint specific artists who directly influenced or were influenced by Jethro Tull, whose work stands apart in the world of rock.
