An Inmate's Lullaby - Gentle Giant (1973)

[ChronoKnuckles2]

As complex and sophisticated as this song, this is one of the most INACCESSIBLE pieces of music I have ever heard.

This song is very off-putting for the average music listener and is the reason why very few people have listened to the entire album.

beautiful piece of music

They were beyond progressive.

great band

Sorry to be back, but 1973..............a time of tension a time of basic standards of living. Bands like GG made it bearable. On reflection as GG say!

[teddingtontcu]

At the height of their powers. commentary concept music, inspiring then peerless now

[crazyfishlegs]

My friend said this was dedicated to me :(

[bilboquet04]

To the peak of inventiveness!With technologies long lost and total dedication to broaden musical language.What a band.

[sun732]

this is one amazing and complicated song! truly a masterpeice

[Slip1man]

Another piece from GG that is far beyond the capacity of virtually any other band - then or now. I can't imagine anyone of the current generation paying attention to such music ... far too complicated and demanding of attention than what most are able to devote. The most skilled 'rock' band I've every heard!

@Slip1man Oi! I'm listening to it, and I'm of the younger generation! But of course you are completely true in saying that 99% of people my age would not appreciate this at all!
