I'll preface this by emphasizing I'm someone who listens to Gentle Giant, Wishbone Ash and the like, the problem with early Genesis and Peter Gabriel is the shit was just half baked. They got a lot better at what they did later. It wasn't really commercial vs non commercial.

I can buy that. They're not like Rush, where they were pretty damn solid from their second album on (depending on how you feel about Caress of Steel... or even their first album). Nor Yes; "Roundabout" was 1971.

 

This sounds more like the kind of jam session I would have in my early college bands than it does something, well, good.

Dunno, I really enjoyed “Suppers Ready” and I view it as a bit of a masterpiece. Anywho, I know my musical tastes are in the minority, but the ear wants what it wants.

GG and Wishbone Ash are seriously underrated.  Gentle Giant “Free Hand” is a fantastic song.

Yeah GG are my dad's all time favorite, so I got a heavy dose as a kid. 

 

Funny story, one of my best friends text me a couple of years ago, 'hey have you ever heard a band called Wishbone Ash?' My response was some along the lines of oh buddy you done fucked up now, hope you got several days on your hands to discuss lol. I texted my dad as that conversation was going on.

I remember as a young teenager some guy teaching our youth group at church asserting that Genesis was a Satanic band.  I wrote him off for that, and it was the start of my growing suspicion about a lot of things we were being taught.
