Gentle Giant was a British progressive rock band, one of the most experimental of the 1970s. Textually inspired by philosophy, personal events and the works of François Rabelais, the group was noted for their collective multi-instrumental virtuosity and the particular complexity and sophistication of their musical material (even by progressive rock standards). Their onetime stated aim was to "expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of becoming very unpopular," although this stance was to alter significantly with time.
The band is also notable for the diverse instrumental skills of its members (all of whom bar the first two drummers were accomplished multi-instrumentalists). One Gentle Giant album listed a total of forty-six instruments in the musician credits, all of which had been played by group members.
