Was this song taken from their 1st Album? Got to be one their earliest works, for sure!

[mrprogjazzgto]

These cats were on the top of creativity back in the 70's..!

[FabianBizarre]

progressive rock are anything else like glam rock., i like (and i give respect) marc bolan, new york dolls, lou reed.. but still i like ray schulman´s voice

[ssierful]

Sensational !!!!!!

[FabianBizarre]

1:36

[yerkil28]

best song ever? maybe? why not?

[yerkil28]

this song sounds more fresh than any other shitty popular hit of our days

[AmadeoBuccinioni]

this is absolutely INSANEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

[mudjunky78]

Okay, Why Not? and Peel the Paint have the best solos.

Hands down.

[ShareTheSphere]

Singer Schulman sounds like Paul Stanley

[eliete4014]

The best!!!

[Colddeed]

"Why not climb a hill

With someone who hates you

Why not hate someone

Who climbs a hill with you"

These are words that I live by, everyday.

[cmikex2]

I repeat real music played by real musicians with real talent.

Oh and all their own work too.

[endorphinvidmaker]

3 people have shit on there thumbs they were trying to fling off from haveing there thumb up there asses.

[ParanoidTravellers]

WOW!!!!

[RockWillLiveOn]

I HATE my generation. I would give up anything just to grow up as a teenager in this era. Those of you who did are extremely lucky, and i'm jealous!!

[ToastmachineIdiot]

@RockWillLiveOn Haha! I am too. When people look at my musical tastes, they must think I was cryogenically frozen back in the 70's and recently thawed out!

[redwiddle]

@RockWillLiveOn  But then you'd be old like me. 48!

[bassbreaker]

@redwiddle Lool great point, I feel somewhat of the same as RockWillLiveOn, but I see the great potential we can do to revive music.. look at Esperanza Spalding

[emano05]

Essa música é muito legal!

Rock progressivo é demais :)

Outra banda legal de rock progressivo é o King Crimson

[NolikargAven]

@emano05 Cara outra boa é Rush. Muuito bom.

[emano05]

@NolikargAven Rush é uma ótima banda! Me lembro que a primeira vez que vi eles, achei que eles fossem britânicos! É que algumas músicas deles me lembram Led Zeppelin. Eu iria em um show deles, sem dúvida!

[NolikargAven]

@emano05 Pois é! Eu estive vendo esse dias uma banda chamada Van Derr Graff generator.Essa é muito boa também.Veja ''Eperor in the war room'' uma das melhores deles.

[Corleonetone]

@emano05 ao meu ver In The Court of the crimson king eh um dos melhores albuns ja feitos...in the wake of poseidon eh top tb...mas dps q o greg lake vazou eu acho q a banda fugiu mto daquele estilo inicial, q era perfeito...somando isso com os experimentalismos escrotos do fripp, a banda ficou um saco.

[emano05]

@Corleonetone Eu também sou muito fã desses 2 álbuns. Parece que eles estavam mais inspirados para compôr nessa fase. Eles se preocupavam mais com o “feeling” das músicas do que com a técnica. Creio que isso torna esse período particularmente interessante. Também não curto muito os álbuns que vieram depois desses dois...

[FergusonTO35]

Heavy Cream influence here.

[BellyflopWhappscragg]

The tempo change at 4:11 gives me goosebumps! Every single time!

[Luckzzz]

@BellyflopWhappscragg Yeah. Fuck yeah! But you fucked up the surprise! hahaha

[nalcow]

what a bad ass song.. awesome!!

[qw214365]

great flute playing and great solo. hope i spoke english better, so i could understand the lyrics.

anyway, i think its about singing cliche lyric's songs. but cant relate it with the hill climbing part

[pentherapy]

"Why not climb a hill with someone who hates you?

Why not hate someone who climbs a hill with you?"

More thought provoking in TWO LINES than most entire albums

[pika50potter]

@pentherapy Not true! Kesha is SOOO thought provoking! I always think "Why would someone listen to this?" :D

[MastodonGiant]

This song was my fav song when I was 10 years old, Always takes me back in time, to where I was sitting and thinking about how beutiful the flute in the song was :D

[RuojaPerkele]

So heavy and that medievalish flute-scene is awesome :) GG have wonderful contrasts in their compositions.

[luismariasilva]

@RuojaPerkele

Indeed they have!

[Entity1490]

This have to be my all-time favorite Gentle Giant song. The part at 1:37 really kindles the wellsprings of my well-being. A wonderful combination of wits and style went into the making of this song! :)

[MastodonGiant]

Totally Agree, my fav Gentle Giant song !!

[Abbelin]

best band ever!

[ClaudiTony]

Why not? Why yes!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!

[yournotjohn]

Insane album! The best!
