Gentle Giant is the first album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1970. It first appeared in the United States and Canada with the same cover as the Three Friends album. American hip-hop duo Madvillain sampled "Funny Ways" on "Strange Ways" from their album Madvillainy, which was subsequently featured in an episode of the television show The Boondocks.

Giant for a Day! is the tenth album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant which was released in 1978. The band's previous use of counterpoint and medieval-themed arrangements was not present on this recording. This album features a pop rock sensibility, instead of their usual progressive rock sound. Unlike the previous albums, the band did not make any tour or concerts to support this album.

Sitting in a Rolls Royce If it's the car of your choice or just a black Cadillac And if you don't think these suit you Just a Porsche or a plain Pontiac Listen to all these songs Tell yourself that it's wrong to even go your own way Throw away your old cloak, put on your mask Be a Giant

Giant For A Day is a music studio album recording by GENTLE GIANT (Eclectic Prog/Progressive Rock) released in 1978 on cd, lp, vinyl and/or cassette. Not that GENTLE GIANT was the only band to ever make a bad album. According to my Theory of Chicken McNuggetivity, the consumption of any product has a point at which you're likely to bite into something that just plain tastes bad. And plenty of prog rock artists have misjudged the portability of their product when soliciting new customers (CAMEL, JON ANDERSON, JETHRO TULL).

They played only one show in 1978 (filmed and recorded by the BBC) and delivered Giant for a Day! by the year's end. With the cartoon-cutout album cover, the band trumpets their new makeover from the get-go. Its playfulness matches the straightforward, bright sounds of the music found inside
