You don't scare me mate. The more I hear the more interested I become.

A bit more:

Yes guitarist Peter Banks, in his autobiography, Beyond and Before: the Formative Years of Yes, said this on page 82:

"I guess you could say, Yes was the epitome of what was later coined as 'progressive rock', although there really was no description of our music at the time. What followed was a slew of 'prog-rock' bands like King Crimson, Genesis, ELP, and we mustn't forget Gentle Giant; a very good band that was ahead of most of those groups at the time - they were quite exceptional. But let it be known - Yes were the first 'prog-rock' band ever! It does still surprise me when people include Pink Floyd and the Moody Blues into the progressive rock category. I always go, 'What?'"

Billy Sherwood (ex of Yes) is reportedly a big fan of Gentle Giant. In fact, Derek Shulman was the guy who introduced Billy to Chris Squire.
