'Playing The Fool' is a fine double live album featuring superior versions of Gentle Giant's best studio efforts. I love it

Perennially uncool they may be, but I've always tarred Supertramp with the same brush as Gentle Giant: the same electric piano emphasis, but with catchier tunes less reliant on over-the-top time signatures. The first two albums 'Supertramp' and 'Indelibly Stamped' are unsung prog gems and don't let the commercial success of 'Crime Of The Century', 'Crisis? What Crisis?' and 'Even In The Quietest Moments' put you off what remain three fabulous albums.

I also really dig Barclay James Harvest. Their second LP 'Once Again' is the obvious classic (and deservedly so - it's wonderful), but later albums like 'Everyone Is Everybody Else', 'Octoberon' and 'Gone To Earth' deserve your attention, as does the superb double 'Live' album from 1974, newly remastered on Esoteric Records.
